Shawn, after getting through your birthday and the anniversary of Don's death, Feb. 18, I can move forward. I want to tell you of another blog that I so enjoy. A lady who 'tells it as it is' and whom you would like, writes with such wit and wisdom. I'm sure that you remember me saying that 'without a sense of humor I wouldn't make it through this life.' She seems to employ that same philosophy and I truly enjoy her musings. She wants to write a book and I know that she is very capable. God will give her the impetus and the inspiration to do this, I can feel it. I am praying for her daily to take up her cross and put it out for all to read and learn that things we go through can, and will be, overcome by the bright light of God's love surrounding and protecting us.
I guess that's all I wanted to say for this day and I do have a sense of peace now about your departure. Just know that I loved you and even though you are here in spirit only, the love remains.
Your Mama
