You did all you could for both of them but in the end we cannot control what others choose to do. We need to accept and move on to become stronger. It's sad but you need to take care of YOU and I'm glad you found peace and your beautiful star. :)<BR/><BR/>xoxo Lots of hugs.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072573764510139884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-5681467165140885532008-12-09T17:35:00.000-08:002008-12-09T17:35:00.000-08:00i'm so grateful we have EACH OTHER!

I am so sorry for your sons death and its anniversary coming during this stressful Christmas season. I am so sad about your loss of your MOm. How lovely of you to provide this house for her, even though in the end she rejected it. I am so sorry about your dad too. But, what a miracle for you to open the overlooked and rejected box and find what you were desiring.<BR/><BR/>I am sure your tree, topped by the star, is beautiful.

I spent 15 years just knowing I'd never have another Christmas with my parents. On this earth I'll never have one with my dad, but I'm marveling in the time with my mom now. <BR/><BR/>Now my husband feels the knife of separation from his own parents, my children from the grandparents who celebrated Christmas with them from their birth. It hurts. It should. But there's so much to celebrate. Thank you for the reminder to lay it all down at the Master's feet.Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712079964629702999.post-89147034810244645162008-12-09T07:02:00.000-08:002008-12-09T07:02:00.000-08:00How poetic, indeed.
