Becka, darling...your friend Christine WAS a most wonderful woman, for she inspired such friendship from you. Bless her and her family always...and know that you, dear one, are a benefactor of her life...you got to know her!   :-* :-* :-*

Many hugs,
Jackie

Quote from: beckela
Christine has been very supportive of me during my recent trials at my office

(((((Beckela))))) - I feel that I have come to know this exceptional lady through you and all that you have shared with me about your friendship. Her spirit has crossed many barriers and touched our lives in unexpected ways. The support she gave you will not be in vain, her life is not in vain. May her spirit soar and reach the heights that it always sought in her lifetime.

I cannot say that it gets easier, it has ups and downs, memories come and go, different ones are remembered at different times. I guess this is all just part of it, and have to take them as they occur. Thank all of you for supporting me through these when they crop up.


((((((((Linda))))))) I so understand what you're feeling. You have supported me through some really tough times and I am here for you now and always. I am grateful for the way we have shared and are sharing and bonding here.

I know that you do understand, and I have been so blessed to have you here and in my life as well. Your heart and spirit are here for so many of us, and I am lucky to have you as a friend and supporter.

Thanks are not enough.

Sometimes a group hug is the most important thing to have even if it's in VR, having people who understand and support you is invaluable. To give one and to receive one.

Today would have been my mother's 83rd birthday.  It's kind of strange to think of it, but I hope she is now herself again, after having faded away the way she did the last few years of her life.  It was terrible to see, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.  Anyway, Happy Birthday, Ma.

((((beruthiel)))), my thoughts are with you today on your mom's birthday.

Dec. 1 would have been my husband's 58 birthday. I too hold to the thought that he is himself again, that shaggy haired, wearing rose colored glasses guy I met 34 years ago in chemisty class.

I didn't know Rick wore rose colored glasses, Linda!  The more I find out about him, the more I think we would have gotten along well.  I'll keep him in my thoughts too.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and hugs. Mid-November to mid-December is rough for me because there's a mixture of birthdays and anniversaries of deaths--all while trying to think about Christmas.
