Please pray for my husband

I have been trying to keep and stay busy, go to work a few hours/week and then I have been trying to pack up some of David Clothes.  I have found a place that can use them so I am doing a little bit at a time.  I also am trying to get everything together for the church that he had here at home  his uniforms, etc.

Dear Beryl,
 
I am sure it is not easy to collect David's clothes and other things but at least they will find good use. I hope you can feel how close he is to you!
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

yes I can feel how close he is to me.  It is very hard especially when I see something that I had bought for him and given to him as a gift.

Dear Beryl, It is good to see you back and to know that you have a real sense of David's presence.  It must be extremely difficult for you to go through all his things and pack them
away.  I do hope you have family members to help.  Although we haven't seen posts from you, know that you have been in our hearts and prayers. Please know that we are here for you, and most especially when it seems that there is no one else around.

 
Much love and prayers,

Welcome to our forum familyhood, Adelle. 
I am so sorry to read about your husband's struggle with cancer and death.  What a very special blessing you must have been to him.  You understand better than most of us here what Beryl is going through and your obvious loving kindness in offering to support her in any way you can is so very thoughtful.  What a wonderful gift to have as a very special remebrance of your husband's love for you.  It truly is a beautiful carving.  May you always sense how much his love is wrapped around you.

Hugs and prayers,

Yesterday is gone forever.Tomorrow may not come. Live Fully each moment today. Look for Good Things that Happen to you Every Day.

Hi Beryl!
 
Welcome back! I am glad to see your post tonight!
Sometimes we need alone time even though it is not easy with the loss we have suffered. I too have been wondering how you are. I am glad to hear you are back to work. Love and Light...
 
Welcome Adelle!
I am sorry to hear of your loss and I am glad you showed up here to share your wisdom with others here. I hope we see more of you here! Love and Light..
 
Peace, Love and Joy,
Diane
 
 PS Last night I called a beautiful lady whom I met at the City of Hope last year.
I though I had lost her number when my phone got wet and we could not retrieve all the numbers. But I found her number and I learned she lost her daughter to cancer in January of this year. So very sad and it was hard to get the words out and talk it out. We used to walk around the hospital while my husband and her daughter were going through their transplants. She was around 25 years old and a teacher. A beautiful young women and her mom and I exchanged numbers . I sent her an email to here as I feel it is such a good place to heal and be surrounded by love and kindness. So if you see my candles with Christy on it..you now will understand more fully. She was so bright and really a caring lady.  

Grateful to be here!
What a gift and connection builder!
Love and Gratitude,
Love who You Are

Dearest Beryl,
It was indeed, very nice to hear from you again. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I have often wondered how you are gettin along.
 
How hard it must be for you to sort through David's things and arrange to pass them on. My heart goes out to you. We will be pleased to see you here when ever you feel like coming.
 
Dear Adelle,
The same goes for you, and I hope to see you here again soon.
 
Dear Diane,
How fortunate that you found the number! I will light a candle for your friend.
 
with Love,
Jude

Dear Beryl . . .
I was so happy to see your name on the forum
when I came here this morning!
I think that often,
people are uncomfortable around grief,
especially after the services,
when things are 'supposed' to go back to 'normal'.
 
I am sure that those people are not truly gone,
but are still there,
waiting in the wings
for a signal from you.
In the meantime,
we are all here for you.
Even though you have not been here,
I, like all of us,
 have been keeping a picture of you
tucked in my heart . . .
you,
with your beloved greyhounds,
who I am sure miss your blue-eyed bear too
with much love . . .

Thank you yes I miss my Big Blue Eyed Bear and of course my greys that I had to give up.  I am praying that I can get Jams back I have to contact the group and see if they let me now that a lot of things are cleared up and my finances are back in order.  The three that are still here follow me everywhere and I have to watch them like a hawk.  I have to get a picture of where David is buried and one of him as Santa for the church on here

Welcome!
 
I will most definitely pray for you. @-->--S--
 
 
I'd go back to Britain on a moment's notice. I spent 3 wonderful weeks in Britain in 2003. Been to Cymru (and I'm a Tom Jones fan LOL). I am a lover of all things Celtic by the way, castles, claymores and kilts... I am a big Anglophile from way back, I even love bagpipe music. That's how silly I am LOL. Read on, it gets worse.
 
I spent 2 days in a B&B in Mallaig Scotland on June 20-21, we could read the paper outside until midnight, quite impressive for a girl from a "northen" country like Canada. If I ever strike rich I am moving to Scotland! (If you come to Canada, try the Cabot Trail in Noca Scotia you will love it).
 
Canadians are well received and much loved in Britain even after all those years ♥

My spouse is an adopted child but he was adopted in a family half Irish-Scottish and half French Canadian. He used tio tell me how good his Ogilvy grandma's scones were. I even learned to make cucumber sandwiches and scones!!
 
My ancestor is a British Navy deserter (apparently girls are quite pretty in Île d'Orléans near Quebec City :D). Or maybe he was abducted and hated it, as was often the case in the Navy in those years (1829). So my last name Merrette is probably Merritt in reality. The funny thing, people think I'm 100% French and I speak English with a French accent. Stuff like that often happens with immigration.
 
Guess what? I'm a translator.

You are also humorous!!

Blessings to both,

now you know why he was my big blue eyed bear.  Those eyes held everyone captive including some nuns.

During the war I was in a little town called Llantwit Vadre near Pontypridd (where Tom Jones is from).  I also love the pipes, Irish and Scottish Music but even tho I came here to the States at the age of 10 I miss the Welsh music also.  How Green Was My Valley is one of my favorite movies

Dear Beryl.
I think Irish, Scottish and Welsh music is in our blood! Traditional music has something special about it, where ever it's from I think.
 
I love the film How Green Was My Valley too.

When I have more time I will have to search on u-tube for some Welsh music.  I still remember the Welsh lullaby All Through The Night I have found the lyrics but not the music the way I remember it.  Maybe it is wishfull  thinking

We must all have a little Welch blood in us . . .
I grew up listening to the record
written and spoken by Dylan Thomas--
"A Child's Christmas in Wales"
and yes,
I love bagpipes,
especially playing 'Amazing Grace' . . .
'All Through the Night'
is also a song close to my heart,
but I did not know it was Welch.
I picked this version to post
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLHR8pKmivg
even though it is not sung
because I liked the stark simplicity
of the simple guitar playing.
I think that Traditional music grounds us
with love . . .

Dear Beryl,
Do you like Welsh Male voice choirs? My brother-in-law is Welsh and used to belong to the Brighton/Welsh male choir until he became unwell.
 
I found several on YouTube

Love is the only way

I love the Welsh Music and of course the Irish & Scottish and I usually cry when I hear the pipes
 
Just back from the cemetery it is a little over an hour one way.  I took pictures of his head stone and will download them off of the camera shortly.  When a spouse is buried there her/his name goes on the reverse side of the headstone.  What I wanted on the headstone is there and no one changed it
I just downloaded the pictures and they do not look good.  I think the sun was too bright and I am going to see if someone knows how to edit them for me.  It does say:
ANGELS KISS YOU
BELOVED HUSBAND

Nothing could be done with the pictures so I guess I will have to get more when I go back up there.  I was told to shade the camera the next time so we will see if that works

. . . there is nothing like "Amazing Grace"
played on bagpipes . . .
nothing
 
I can feel it physically in my body
and tears come into my eyes,
as its power washes over me
with love . . .
