Pep your insight is amazing... and may I be so very bold to tell you that since your mom's passing...your wisdom holds much Grace...and the ability to see things with an even more loving perspective... No doubt she is with you stronger than ever... but enough about you... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ARK <small>[ June 03, 2004, 10:05 AM: Message edited by: ark^^ ]</small>

You friendship and wisdom encourages me to dig deeper and examine myself... Well... I feel that my last email to you was a bit of a heavy load ... and maybe way too much to put into your head...
But, this is a process I am STILL working out.
I am somewhat using you as a sounding board..
I have shared everything I wrote to you with Mr. Pep (more or less as it was going down) , and he has helped me out sooooo much!
I just HAVE to find the lesson in this pain... it would be too much to bear if it did not contain something of value.
Still searching... and trying to be quiet sometimes too... because I've learned that sometimes the very best things are delivered only to a quiet mind.
PepPS.. HI MEL!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

"The Five People You Meet In Heaven"
Thanks Ark.

When Pep recommends a book to me, I rush right out and buy it....she's always on target. Susan

Pep,
While I realize this is a "girls" thread, I thought in the name of Equal Rights, I would join in and say you are indeed an amazing person and your insightful comments and posts on this board are what make it special.
I ALWAYS enjoy and learn something from your posts.
God Bless,
JL

I'm not all that much fun right now... but I am "interesting"...
Last evening Mr. and I walked to Starbucks (about 1 mile) and were sitting enjoying the end of the day ... and a thought crossed my mind....
suddenly I am weeping... heaving shoulders... screwed up face...
It lasted about 5 minutes... then it was back to our regular programing.
Such weird twists this grieving!
I had a thought I wanted to share with my Mom... and knowing I never would... it just flicked the ~weep now in public~ switch, and I was off to the races!
Pep

(I know you see her in the mirror every day <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> ) I still see people that remind me of my dad...or a person in a crowd that (maybe from behind) looks like my dad...and it suddenly takes my breath for a sec... Has this happened to you yet? <small>[ June 03, 2004, 11:36 AM: Message edited by: Susan ]</small>

Pepper,
Surrender to what???
You seem to be missing something very important or at least it is to me. You DID share your thought with your Mom, because you carry her within you. You are to some degree her, what she valued, what she shared with you, what she taught you, her history... it is all within you.
So please do grieve, but in my mind, you have lost less than you realize, and gained more than you thought.
God Bless,
JL

Great minds do think alike. We posted at the same time, JL, and I agree. Also, I'm the editor of this thread, and just where did I say it was for chicks only? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hey, I just go where the "chicks" hang out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Do you see any other guys on this thread?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Seriously, I think Pep deserves a lot of "thank you's" for what she does here. I also realize she just lost a parent and that is a very very hard thing to handle. Yet, it is the way of things. It is why we have children, they guarentee our immortality because they are part of us. It is just hard to see that in the middle of the loss. I lost my father 16 years ago, and I still hear his voice, see things that remind me of him, and find myself using his words and insights with my kids. They were all very young when he passed so they only know him through me. But, I try to convey to them who he was. My W lost both of her parents even longer ago. It is something you heal from but it is a loss you never really get over because you want to share your life with them. But, it is the nature of things that it is our job to carry them with us. At least that is what I think it is. Glad to see you around these parts again Susan. You are another special person on this site. I know that if you and Pep are corresponding, you will be able to help each other a great deal. God Bless, JL <small>[ June 04, 2004, 12:17 PM: Message edited by: Just Learning ]</small>
