I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Your mother must have been a great woman to raise such a "loving" person as yourself. I know you had to have made her proud.


Husband was unfaithful to me before and after our marriage, at least 7 times. I found out 13 yrs into the marriage. Trickle truth for an entire year. Several different d-days, so it was more like a d-year. Difficult recovery.

Thank you so much for the bump, Mel...oh, thank you all...I felt your prayers...I did! I got through the week and all the stuff really well...only today, finally back home, am I the mess on the outside, too.

I believe my posts today were my act of self-healing...being a mess is okay for awhile...having my thoughts wiped out from tears...funny how they do that...like water putting out my synapses firing...and I'm not hurting for my mother...I fully believe she is dancing, full of light, in God's presence, where she longed and feared to be...I'm grieving me...my loss...this giant hole...and sharing it with you all...you sharing your condolences, expressions of care, with me...helps fill that hole a bit...

I thought of many of you, while in TEXAS...mostly Mel, though...and I drove from Houston to Lubbock and back home to Denver...because that's one HUGE state...and I saw mind-numbing stars, and dawns and sunsets which linger, continue to have presence long after they are gone...

Like my mother. Like all of us. And here on MB, is part of where we share our trails...leave our light...and I am deeply grateful for all of you sharing with me. Continues the light, I think...like those gabillion stars in West Texas, all of you, blinking, shifting, passing and pausing...for me...humbling, I tell ya.

Look tonight for one you haven't seen before...she's up there...

((Marshmellow)) (Thank you for making this thread...you assured me I wasn't alone...when I really feel that way, off and on, for the first time in three years...thank you for your bravery...may we grieve together...you for your father this year and me, my mother)

((Melodylane)) (God hear you...I'm blessed...unrelentingly blessed...including knowing you)

((believer)) (I thought of you and your father...I did! I thought of your grace, your depth, your true perspective...I felt your prayers...you were in my mind)

((Catgirl)) (My mom was a cat-woman...included them in my eulogy)

((faithfulfollower)) (Her tombstone will have "I kept the faith" from 1 Timothy on it)

((Mimi)) (You remind me the most of my mother...and she often said, "You are sooo precious" or "She is soooo precious")

((EO)) (You are my real sister)

((MF)) (MB is part of my own life...I admit it...you're as real to me as my Texas relatives...hope you can feel this hug)

((SS)) (You're job isn't done...I called out to you on my FOO thread...nothing sounds right? I have yet to read a single word you've posted that wasn't what I needed to hear, when I was ready to hear...even if you were posting to someone else)

((JustJilly)) (I thought of you, as well...not getting to your post...knowing you would understand and wait for me...which may be longer than I know...for I'm disjointed now...and am leaning on you!)

((TruBluz)) (From one indomitable spirit to another...thank you)

((Rinder)) (Thank you...your prayers are powerful...so is your dear, sweet heart)

((2muchheartbreak)) (Right back at you...strong hugs...very much appreciated)

((213601)) (Thank you for saying she can see me now for who I really am...I'm hanging onto that with every heartbeat right now...and yes, Phoenix Rain is coming...gain and loss...loss and gain)

((lizziedora)) (Well, you sure said great words, for having none...thank you very much)

((HopeThisWorks)) (Thank you for your prayers and thoughts...I am very touched to you posted)

((Nabohio)) (You, too, Nab...your post matters, too)

((larrouse)) (I felt warm and cared for when I read your post...thank you)

((Walkingthefield)) (Thank you for prayers and your wishes...reminding myself to be inspired in my actions for just that...to share, celebrate and remember)

((Aphelion)) (Thank you for the hug...which I can re-feel each time I read your post)

((healingbird)) (I know you know what you speak of...and greatly appreciate your prayers and support...you still matter!!)

((lunamare)) (I felt your hug so real...had to come up for air...thank you)

((ChaCha)) (Thank you...and I will think on comfort...I know I listened, repeated, asked for and shared...was present...maybe that is true comfort?)

((Nagrom)) (What a rough year, all around, eh? And we're living through it...thank you for sharing your life here...and keeping my family in your thoughts...matters greatly to me)

((MrsW!!)) (Oh, how I love knee mail...and you...I really do...thank you...the way you shine brightens me somehow)

((Eagle&MrsEagle)) (Gave me a boost to picture you both praying for me...together...reconciliation is powerful, I think...my tears stopped when I read your post)

((AmIok)) (I thought about you, too, on my trip...you're a great distraction...heehee...and friend. Your sincerity is so evident to me...I believe you and appreciate you being in my life)

((silverpool)) (Thank you for posting and thinking of me)

((BTE)) (Thank you, thank you for posting...every time you do)

((BetrayedinCAL)) (Thank you--knowing you are embroiled in what I was two years ago...right now...and your heart still reaches and connects to others...thank you)

((mopey)) (Oh, you hit the sorest spot...my challenge to work through, for once and for all...thank you for believing in my love for her...she greatly influenced my life...I am very much like her...so I was a small reflection of how deeply loving she was...but I'm working on enlarging it)

((newbeginingII)) (I really do appreciate and need your prayers, NB2, and hugs...thank you)

((TGal))! What a lift to see your screen name...I wonder when you'll realize you leave a hole when you go away.

((NC007)) Thank you very much for reminding me I have heart and character when I feel like a clump of me left, went where the rest of me can't follow right now.

((Cor)) Right back at you...God's hands are holding well...when I slip through his fingers for a little bit, I land in his other hand.
