Before the Next Teardrop Falls ...

[galemybabydaddy]

Hello to my dear flist.  Some of you all have been instrumental in helping me get through a very rough past year.  You've been there for me as a sounding board, to offer an encouraging word, to entertain me with all your talents, and to generally make me feel like I haven't been going through all my trials and tribulations alone.  For that, I thank

Linda, I'm sooooo sorry for your loss honey. If you need anything I'm here. I was just thinking about you yesterday. It's been so long since we last talked. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers.

PLEASE! Call me, email me if you need anything at all. I'm here.

I love you!

It has been a long time since we've talked. Real life kicks our asses, doesn't it? I really hated not being able to see you the last time I was in Virginia. It was a nice trip.

Thank you for your prayers and for being here for me. I've said it before and I'll say it again ... I don't know what I've done to deserve you guys but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth ... whatever that means. It sounded good to my weary brain.

I love you, too, Tammy!

I'm not the right person to give advice since I've never known how to deal with loss. Usually I tend to suffer in silence. Two close friends of mine have lost their father this year and I wasn't able to send them a single word. So please don't take offense in my useless prose, just know that I feel for you.

Your prose are definitely not useless. Thank you for caring enough to respond. As for not knowing what to say, sometimes silence is what is needed in times like this. Because when it comes down to it, just knowing that someone is there for you when and if you need them, that means more than words every time.

You did great by her as long as you could. You will get by this next few days by the skin of your teeth but that's as it should be. Loss is so tough cuz love's so great! I wish all the best for you and your family. It will be awhile before the world seems right again --keep breathing in all the love around you and that sent to you from afar.

Liz, Liz, Liz, Liz. My Liz! *clings to you so hard you can't breathe*

Is it horrible of me that I just want to skip all the formalities and hop a plane and be on your doorstep by morning? I just want to sit on your nice leather sofa with you and cry and talk about Randy with you and cry and knit or crochet with you and cry and just be with you and cry. Do you see the common theme here? No, not crying ... being with you. I feel like a child lost in the shopping mall and only you can save me. Does that make sense?

Thank you for being so generous with your love. I love you back just as fiercely. !I miss you!

Linda,

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please let me [and L] know a good time to call. In the meantime, I'll be thinking about your and your family.

Love you,

Sharo

I know we don't know each other, but you have offered comfort on my journal before and now it is my turn. Sending you all my strength, love and support during this time. My thoughts are with you.

And just know if you ever need to talk or post or ramble or air anything at all, we're hear to listen. Always.
