Listening for the Mourning Dove

I was looking over the messages on the group and I noticed

that we BOTH lost our Mother's on Feb 20, 2010. :(

Not a happy thing to have in common, but I just wanted

to reach out to you. Every holiday this past year, we've

experienced the same feelings of loss.

Sending out prayers to you.

Warmly,

Debra in Ohio

I well know the pain associated with loosing a love one. I lost my Dad - and so many times I wish - I had just one more day - even just one more hour - I may even settle for just one more minute to remind him of how much I love him. I thought somewhere in my mind - that is my Dad - he will always be here.

I found comfort in the scriptures and my belief in God. My Dad will always be in my heart. Sometimes, when I hear one of his favorite songs it brings me to tears and other times some of his songs makes me want to dance. Yet, I treasure all of my memories of him. You can do the same - the pain is there - however, so are the treasured memories - and that is what keeps me sane - the loving thoughts of my Dad.

You pull those loving thoughts of yours and watch it bring a smile to your face. Then think of the most up beat song that your love one enjoyed and watch you move with them in your heart - Angie - their memories are so beautiful. I hope, I have been able to offer some encouragement. I rely strongly in the Bible but not all share the same belief - so I just try to state at a minimal how I was able to handle the death of my Dad. You have a great day!!
