I always think that.. it's much harder for us, who are left behind that for those who leave us.. But if one day I'll leave my dearest then I'd definitely want them to be as positive and happy as you. It's important to move on and be serene.. cause that's exactly what they would want us to do.<br /><br />Merilin<br />xCafé Naïvetéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08584557911707802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554164106739610757.post-76366613051922552592010-10-06T22:00:35.904-07:002010-10-06T22:00:35.904-07:00Lisi, what a gift you have for putting wonderful m...Lisi, what a gift you have for putting wonderful memories into words! While driving home from work yesterday, there was a big rainbow in the sky. We haven't had rain for the longest time---and yesterday it not only rained, but our John-o let me know that he was close to me on his special day. I felt so grateful, and so blessed to have had this child for 22 years. Certainly not long enough, but what a great privilege it is to be his mother; as it is to be the mother of each of my six remaining special, wonderful children. My cup runneth over.

It is so sad that you lost your brother. He was only 23 years old. I am so sorry. I completely understand your feelings as well as the feelings of your family, especially your mother. Sorrow remains and we only learn to live with it. Your brother was only 23 years old when he passed 19 years ago and my brother was only 33 years old when he was killed 18 years ago in the last war in my country in December 1992. I too believe that one day we’ll be together with our loved ones. <br />Hug,<br />MedaMedaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760724573094155384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554164106739610757.post-86801229019065445292010-10-05T22:17:58.687-07:002010-10-05T22:17:58.687-07:00Awwww...

'05-- I think that some dates in particular - b-days and holiday time remind us so much of our loved ones... <br />I'm sending you a very big hug now... <br />and a Happy Birthday to your beloved John... <br /><br />Love, <br />Leeseislandgirl4ever2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11113491173234673894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554164106739610757.post-7429572959339945282010-10-05T21:06:24.958-07:002010-10-05T21:06:24.958-07:00Beautifully said, Lis.
