Sometimes.............

[Father Dave]

i was gonna skip this one...as it brings a lump to my throat and moistens my eyes...but i can say i've "been there" through both of my parents travels into that never never land of lost memories...the hardest part was Acceptance.

accepting that i can't stop it.

then accepting that the guilt i feel from the above can't be accepted either.

accepting the helplessness you feel because it is REAL...you are helpless in many ways.

i could make this novel length but i think i will just say...keep strong; keep the memories of all the good days as fresh as you can; don't beat up on yourself for feeling inadequate or guilty for feeling lost and confused as to what to say or do.

LIVE for them now. LIVE for them later.
LIVE for YOU forever.

note at no time did i say any of this will be easy. it will rip yer guts out if you let it.
don't let it...find comfort in what ever you can.
find others with similar situations and share.

i pray you find the strength, courage, and peace you need at this time.

thanks for your words when it was i who needed.

I am just so overcome by, the people here...the caring...the sharing.......
All of you, thank you.
Chele, your mail to me awhile back has helped, truly.
Manda........I thank you for reaching out, though we haven't really known eachother..it touches my heart when a "stranger" steps up, to help someone in need.........I, thank you, more than i can say.
Dave~....I can't thank you enough for being so open about this, and for sharing something, that is so very personal.
I appreciate you, responding, even though it , as you said, have a hard time, etc.....
It is, so great, in this world we live in, that "strangers" whom we have never met personally, can actually, help us, in our time of need.
I thank you all, again, for being there for me.
For My Californina Connection.......when your "company" leaves town, i am hoping to talk 2 u by phone.

My best to you all~
