    Dear Marlegal, It is me this time that is grateful to come after you and borrow your words as they match my hearts thaughts exactly.

    Dear Molly, "what Marlegal" said is true for me too and I strongly suspect for many here also.

    Wether it is in 2 days, 2 weeks, two years or twenty, please remember that you can always call on us, if you are in need of "an ear" and all your favored best friends and family are sleeping or otherwise briefly unavailable to you, we'll always be glad to hear from you.

    I will always be cheering for you  from afar and praying for you and your family.

     You are a shining star,and always will be, even on your most challanging days and most difficult moments, you are and will always be a most  precious and shining star always, so  you make sure you take the very best care of yourself.  

    with love,

    Shiny

    Cinderella, that is my favorite video ever and particularly appropriate for your mother.  May your family find peace as you celebrate your mother's life.

    Many people have been asking me how I'll remember my mother.

    Well, the blue skies are her warm arms in one of her fantastic hugs.

    The leafy, abundant trees are her enormous Easter bonnets that gave shade not only to her, but also to whomever was standing near her. 

    The birds singing away on the telephone lines are her wonderful, contagious, singular laugh.

    The golden sun is her bright smile that lit up any room she walked into.

    And the winds? Well, she decided she wanted the windows open, and that's that. No arguments.

    The children screeching in the playground across the street are her wonderful joy and lust for life.

    I know that many of you will not be able to make it to the funeral, but i imagine that you'll all be there in spirit. She was comforted in the last year whenever she came here and read the outpouring of prayers and advice. That is part of the reason she asked me to become a member.

     Last night, Daddy was cleaning out the cabinet in her bedroom and he found three journals. Six years ago, she began writing to us all. She said that every time she felt things were going sour, she would start writing in them. She must have forgotten about them during the move, but her words still ring true. Many of the things she wrote to me were later spoken in conversation, but it's still comforting to have them written, and in her handwriting. This is something that I will treasure forever. Who knows? Perhaps I'll continue writing to my little girl. 

    My English teacher sent me the following in a Facebook message. I found it comforting, and I hope someone else does as well.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there... I do not sleep.
    I am the thousand winds that blow...
    I am the diamond glints on snow...
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
    I am the gentle autumn rain.
    When you waken in the morning's hush,
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    Of gentle birds in circling flight...
    I am the soft star that shines at night.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry—

    I am not there... I did not die...

    Molly, the beauty of your mom lives on in you.  I know that as she looks down she is so very proud; and so are we. 

    Blessings.

    Molly, whether you know it or not, you are now continuing what your Mom began for us ... beautiful words when we need them most.  In our attempts to offer you comfort, it turns out that you are helping us.  Same with Pat - when one of us was down, she'd say some silly old thing that would make us totally forget about our problems and just be silly.  Now in our sadness, we come here and read your words and listen to the music you posted and find ourselves feeling unexplainably better.  As for the journals, I'd say to start yours now, this very minute.  You have so much beauty in you that should be recorded.  Ginormous hugs.

    The call is free. The flower, including tax is only $4.22 as they have created a uniquely small cost to cover the flower itself.

    Dear Molly, (I hope it is ok to call you that Here)

    Thank you lovey for coming on and sharing such beautiful words about your dear mother.

    You shine, always.

    You make her soooo proud as always. Be gentle with yourself.

    Thinking of you.

    I join the chorus Molly of holding you and your precious family up in prayer through this difficult time...  I  watched the video and even saved it as a favorite to play later for some of my loved ones that had been praying for Pat.  ((((((((((((((hugs & prayers)))))))))))

    I just wrote a lengthy post that vanished. Shorter version: I bought 3 extra roses if anybody needs to claim one. Call the shop and say you want to claim a rose that is currently under my human name (Debbie, not Whoopsiedoodles). I don't know if I caught the lady in a sleepy moment but she was convinced I was trying to order from their website and had no idea why I would order with a name that wasn't my own. Perhaps it was my quivering and emotion voice that made it hard to understand me....

    She is going to have some real beautiful arrangments.  I sent mine yesterday. 

    That's a great idea, Debbie.

    Hugs

    wow, can you imagine?  I hope Molly gets the chance to take a picture, or ... perhaps I'll go on the florist's web site and ask someone there to take a pic for us after the arrangement is ready.  I'll try that now.  hugs my friends.

    Got teh answering service people, no one in the shop (aren't they sev hours behind me?)  Anyway ... I wrote down the # and will put at my spot at the table to call in the morning.  Hope they can do it, I'd love to see the end result.  Coonie, can't you just see her, reading all the cards, not to see who sent or who didn't, but just to read our  names and think a memory of us?  Damn I'm gonna miss her :(

    Molly,

    Will be thinking of you and sending up prayers for soothing and strenght and peace to you and your family all day. Hope you are able to feel God's support for you and your family throughout this day. And I hope you will be surrounded by those you wish nearby to help you through and hold you up when you need it.

    You are so strong, but please make sure to take any help offered, or ask for extra help or support when ever you need it.  So many people want to help around you I am sure (and some far away too), but only you know when and how they can help ; Sometimes it might be with practical things you just can't get on top of, sometimes it might be just to talk as a distraction or to have a heart to heart, and it might be today or in 6 month's time or later.  Whatever you do,"Be good and gentle and generous and kind with yourself always, you hear".

    big gentle hug

    Shiny
