Longer nights, cooler mornings, a hint of yellow-gold in the leaves, goldenrod blooming. Soon the cotton will be ripe.<br /><br />Susan was blessed to be surrounded by such loving friends and family in her last days, and it sounds like you all were blessed by her, too.FancyHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597963447367752342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-72678589122225412682009-10-04T13:11:38.806-07:002009-10-04T13:11:38.806-07:00Wow it has been a hard month for you all.

I think that knowing the long course of Alzheimers, the short course is better. Living on vacation now that is a good concept.<br /><br /> Gloria is a tough cookie and she's going to be alright, at least until her bills start rolling in! Then she may have a stroke.<br /><br />We give thanks for life.<br /><br />I am sorry you have had such a tough month! <br /><br />As our dear dear friend would say, "But God," and sometimes those two words are just right, no more and no less.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-92081649631166374612009-10-04T10:07:22.777-07:002009-10-04T10:07:22.777-07:00I'm so sorry for yours and Lily's loss.

She certainly lived an exciting and treasure filled life.

Thanksgiving for Gloria's recovery, which is truly answered prayer from all over the country. To sadness at the passing of your sweet friend, Susan. The sudden death makes us realize how tenuous our hold on this world really is. What a homecoming it will be when we all meet again those that have gone before us to be with God. <br /><br />I was so moved by what you said about being viewed as burdened by the world and that your journey has made you see, "That little “extra” something we deal with sparkles into extra-ordinary – lifting us above the fray when we choose to rejoice rather than sulk." What a wonderfully positive attitude to have, and I am so glad to have met you! I feel blessed!Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-49724184509899483192009-10-02T15:04:35.989-07:002009-10-02T15:04:35.989-07:00I am so sorry for your loss, and yet glad to hear ...I am so sorry for your loss, and yet glad to hear the good news for Gloria. One does not diminsh the other. They share side by side. Yes, I would guess emotions would be running high and tears flowing freely. Tears of joy and tears of sorrow. <br />I like how you put it, "The World generally classifies us as “burdened,” but those who stop and join us for a spell see gifts rather than yokes, laughter rather tears. That little “extra” something we deal with sparkles into extra-ordinary – lifting us above the fray when we choose to rejoice rather than sulk." I would like to think that characterizes our life as well. May God bless you this weekend. I am praying for you.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349785408418170356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-46266030877989050962009-10-02T14:23:33.258-07:002009-10-02T14:23:33.258-07:00So glad to hear about Gloria.
