And it makes my heart sad when others have to go through painful things too...<br /><br />Grief is a complex journey and I've found it to be full of surprises. I'm learning to just let the surprises (both good and bad) come and to embrace whatever emotion is stirred. God is in those moments...<br /><br />Hey...do you want to send me your manuscript??? :)mer@lifeat7000feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169865790593225070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430351813949049444.post-58124950505835031352010-08-31T14:02:18.384-05:002010-08-31T14:02:18.384-05:00the place where hope is stored up and given out......the place where hope is stored up and given out.....what a poignantly beautiful phrase! you're definitely a writer! gee thanks...now i'm boo-hooing at my desk! i told you we'd be blogging besties! i love this post so much!Kate Spearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091277339209681001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430351813949049444.post-32648589156201921822010-08-31T11:16:33.774-05:002010-08-31T11:16:33.774-05:00What a beautiful post Angela!

I always admired her and your grandpa because they stepped up and became not only grandparents but your mom and dad. And I know she is very proud of you, the woman you have become.<br />I cannot wait to read your book! And I am with you... there are no circumstances!<br />until next time... nelNelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599976650131750375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430351813949049444.post-26247823815229358942010-08-31T10:30:14.756-05:002010-08-31T10:30:14.756-05:00Sweetie, I completely understand every word of thi...Sweetie, I completely understand every word of this post, as I have stood there beside my Dad's casket and felt the exact same way. I didn't want to leave, either. I too lost my strength and actually lost my way for a while. But even in those sprrowful and dark times, God carried me when I didn't have the strength to carry myself. It's been 14 years since I lost Dad, and although it's been so long, my longing to see him and hug him is still there. I still love him as much as I always did, if not more. I keep him alive in my daughter's heart, because I want her to know what a good man he was, just like your Grandma was a wonderful woman! They live on through us in our hearts and minds, and I thank God every day that they do. I am also soooo happy that God, our true father, never gives up on us, no matter how much we turn from him. <br />Thank you so much for posting this. It warmed my heart! Love you girl!Kim Honnoreply@blogger.com
