Two of My Friends

Two of my Facebook friends, lost one of their parents over the holiday's.  It's a sad time for them, and it's going to be a hard year, without that strength here........ to these friends, I offer my sincere condolences, and prayers, for their comfort during these times.......... 

Grief

There are several people who will be missing and grieving for loved ones who left them this year.  I know several people in my local area who will be going through this emotional time of loss.  It's not easy to go through the loss, and at this time of year the memories become paramount with the one's left behind.  Our prayers go out to those families and friends who are living in this trauma this year.  God be with them and give them the inner peace which passes all understanding........

Gifts

Since you found  great gifts for mom on mothers day  I'm sure you are looking forward to finding a great one for your Father this coming father's day event.  Some of the events we will be experiencing soon are Memorial Day as well as Father's Day.  This is a good time to give tribute to your father as well as other men that have had an impact on your life.

Dear Louise

It was so sad to hear of your passing.  You only last 11 months past your brother's passing and it seems that the timing wasn't expected by any.  I know that you had many health problems and certainly they contributed to you demise.  I feel bad for your boys and hope that somehow they can accept you being gone.  This leaves only one of the main line to that side of the family and I'm sure David will be taking better care of himself now that all these things have happened.  His health isn't too great either and people will worry for him.
Although, you and I never had a close relationship, I still had fun joking with you when I would visit over there.  I'm sure you will be missed by many,

 Sincerely,
Nita Kaye

Dear Goldie......

I know it's been a long time, since you even thought of me, and vice versa. I thought so many years ago, that you would become a great mother in law. How sad, that I was very wrong.
I never wanted it to be the way it was, but how it turned out, was beyond my control. I wish we had been closer, and you could have seen, how much I wanted to love you, like I did your son. His memories, will haunt me forever, as I try to rationalize, how it all came to a bitter end. Please, understand, that I loved Linn, with all my heart, and wanted to be with him forever. The brutal beatings, me and the children took, kept that from happening. To this very day, I still love the man, and wish it could have turned out wonderful.
Once again, you would have been such an asset to our relationship, had you been able to understand what was really going on, in comparison to what you were told.
I'm so sorry, to have lost you as a confidant, mom and friend.
Sincerely,
Kaye

Hello Kate

I know you probably don't want to hear from me, but considering the circumstances, I'd think you'd be glad someone thought of you whether it be good or bad. Not many people are remembering you, these days, and you know why! They just don't have the time to care and they didn't get much concern from you when they did. You enjoyed being an informative thorn in just about every one's side.
I remember the days, you would stalk us, for fear you wouldn't get your just dues, in visits. Heck we were a young couple, trying to enjoy each other and life, not to mention struggling financially. Yet, you thought we had to be there every weekend, or you were on the phone, griping and moaning about how we needed to come see you, cause we might not be able to one of these days. Yeah, well there were other people in our world besides you, and we had things we liked to do on the weekends besides sit up under you. You never considered our feelings on anything, it always had to be your way.
Being so noisy, you practically pushed everyone away from you. Telling everyone how to live in their own home, and passing judgment's on their way of doing things, wasn't very nice either. You just couldn't leave people alone to live their on lives the way they wanted to. If they didn't succumb to your whims and suggestions, you'd send your other son, to reprimand them. They had to do it or else.
You would come over during the week to check on me and see if I was doing the right things, especially after my son was born. Most of the time, you wouldn't call, as if you were trying to catch me doing something wrong.
With your constant meddling you finally drove me away from my husband and your family, since he was so hen pecked by you that he couldn't stand up to you in favor of his own family. You did everything you could to undermine me to him and the rest of the people, we knew. I finally gave up and let you have your little boy back, which you suddenly decided, would be a burden to you. He never had a choice in anything that involved him, you put him in the line of fire, and financed it.......trying to give me what you thought I deserved. In your words, "you don't divorce a ########"! To which I answered, "oh yeah, just watch me"!
I got rid of all the turmoil I thought, but it had only just begun. I went through 5 years of child custody, fighting tooth and claw to keep my babies. In the end, I ran out of money, and your family and you won. You were relentless, even then......they say only the good die young........it must be true, you lived to be in your ninety's.
I will never be able to forget what you did to me and my children. They say you must forgive a person, to be able to be free of the horrible things you suffered, I will try, but it will be hard.
Sincerely
Kaye

Dear John

I really am sorry that you passed away. I wasn't that close to you, but you had an occasion to enter my life areas, when you accompanied your wife. Your wife was a part of my last husband's past and I dealt with her, as well as I could. You weren't very important, but had your ways, as I did.
I guess, you just never made much of an impression on me, that I could enjoy. I wasn't too excited to see you or be where you were, during all those years. I felt you looked down your nose at everyone, and always had a smart or snide remark to plant on everyone in your path.
I guess you are finally with your wife, but I'm afraid you'll have to get in line, the same way you did, when she was alive. I know the cancer, must have been hard on you and it finally got you to give up. I'm sorry for your demise and wouldn't wish that on anyone. To this I can only add.........may God, rest your soul
