Jude ,
 
I always have room for your hugs bless you Jude so much.
 
Jude you are right I tried to work this out and I guess we are not our pain as our pain leaves us at times.
 
Hugs back,Sandraxxxx

My dear Sandra . . .
Yes indeed, I am a little older than you . . .
homing in on 60 soon . . .   
I think, but am not sure that you mentioned you were 50?
I am so happy that you are feeling better . . .
yes, I do understand about the dark days.
Eban has changed me, but I do not regret and am not sad for this.
I am actually grateful . . . not that he died,
but that he was gifted to me for the time that I had,
and through his death I have learned many things
that I might not otherwise have learned.
But Jude has said it as well as I can,
that "we are not our pain".
peace in your heart and love for you . . .

Ooops . . . so sorry Sandra . . .
It didn't seem like you were 50, but I thought you mentioned it in an early post . . . it must have been someone else.
Oh dear . . . someone sent me a pm to tell me, probably so I could run back here and edit my post, but I didn't make it in time .
Is my face red!
with love . . .

ps. I'll be 60 30th of January. I was a 'Sunday's child' . It's funny . . . until the last year or two, I always felt like a 'Thursday's child'--full of woe

Sandra...........NEVER GROW UP!  That's half the trouble with us humans, we think we have to be grown up.
 
Sparrow, I am a Sunday's child too! Sandra is right, it is Wednesday's child full of woe.
 
Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Love is the only way

Hi girls,

Who seems like 50? I do  ! Exactly 52 ! 40,50, 60 ... who cares about years?[sm=kiss.gif][sm=rolleyes.gif]
It is important that we are still here and not "grown up", and we care about each others!

Love and blessings to all of you !

Buba,Goran's mom

Ah yes, dear ones . . .
it is Wednesday's child . . .
now I am full of woe . . .
I also have far to go too .
Now it is I who is puzzled . . . I don't know why you didn't seem '50'...
I think because your grief was more recent,
and that seemed odd if you were 50, if that makes any sense,
but like Jude says, "NEVER GROW UP" .
Yes Buba . . . after all is said and done
what is age but a number!
Thank you all for starting my day off with smiles . . .
I think the laughter will come when I get to the 'humor' thread.
with much love . . .

Dearest Buba,
    This grateful Mother will pray for you through such awful grief as I don't want to ever imagine. That this happened to you, sears my heart. I'll pray for G-d's Grace in your life so that your son will live on through you. Love, BarbJean

Thank you dear BarbJean for your compassion and kind words.
For me as a mother,this was unthinkable grief and I never thought it would happen to me.But it happened and now I am struggled with it every minute of every day of my life ( 2 years 7 months and 9 days)- still unbelievable that my son is gone,it seems as real night mair waiting to wake up ...But there are some short moments when I became awared that it IS truth; those are so painful moments like that somebody hits me right into my heart with a knife...Then , I just want to die...But I have my other son and I know that he needs me and I must live for him , and my husband ,too.They are both in the same pain and grief as me,and we need each other to move on and to keep loving memories which we have with our Goran.

With regards,
Buba,Goran's mom

Dearest Buba
 
Love to you always,I wish I could carry your pain I really do.
 
Buba, Goran would not wish you to suffer but sadly grief is so powerful
 
to cope at times it really is.
 
Buba I feel like you at times but what keeps me going is knowing that our children fought so hard to
 
stay on earth so if only for their memory alone we must stay here until they call us home.
 
Take care Buba,Love Sandraxxx

Oh Sandra, you do not have to be sorry.As Sparrow once said "...relief from grieving is not release from love...".
My Goran was allways ready for jokes and laughter,I believe he will understand.
 
Hello dear Edda,how are you and Leon doing? Do you have a snowy winter?
 
Regards to all ladies,no matter how old they are,
Buba,Goran's mom

Dear Buba,
 
Thank you for asking! We are having quite a bit of snow. More is predicted starting tonight and lasting 24 hours! I get plenty of exercise shoveling! We also have had some very frigid days, down to
- 20 degrees C. This is wide open prairie land where temperatures can change within hours. Lake Michigan does provide moderation along its shore depending on how the wind blows.
This weather is hard on Leon since he can't get out with his electric scooter when there is ice and snow on the sidewalks. Otherwise we are doing pretty well!
 
I think of you often!
 
You are in my heart and prayers,
Much love and warm hugs,
Edda
Peace and joy!

Sandra,my friend,
I tried to send you second PM ,but your memory is full.Just to let you know,you must make room for new messages.
I replied you in your thread My trip,and I was conserned why you did not mention me in your answer,so I worried that you are maybe hurt by me somehow,and I conected that with deleted message in my thread...!!!
But our Angels up in the Heaven saw that,and they help us to come in contact,is not that a miracle!!??
Send you many warm regards from sunny day here in Novi Sad-last week it was real winter with snow and ice,today spring and sunshine,
Buba,Goran's mom
