Turst God, for the hardship you experience the tightness of the rope, is a growing change. Your mom is always with you and she is no longer sick, she is always young and beautiful and she is the breeze you feel in your hair, the warmth of the sun on your face and the love you see when you look at your daughters the way she looked at each of you many times. We love you and we face challenges and raw emotions with you.

Becky is missed very much and I can't imagine how wonderful it was to see Caroline married in the very dress your mother wore and one that your grandmother made with her loving hands. How special that must have been. Your family is very special and the love, hardships and emotion that you so willing share makes us all yearn to know more. <br />Koni seems like a wonderful match for Ken, yet, I know she isn't your mother. No one will ever fill those shoes and I know Koni would never attempt to do that nor do you expect that of her...it is just a painful experience that has no easy way out. Trust God, He will lead you through your difficult times....it is during these times we find ourselves clinging to Him more and noticing His majesty in the simple things. I love you all very much. You truly bless my life.Debbie Nix Douglassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722187693151167525.post-89686726136230379972010-03-28T18:04:20.610-05:002010-03-28T18:04:20.610-05:00I understand every single word you wrote. My dear ...I understand every single word you wrote. My dear sister died. It was very sudden. She was 49. She was planning her first daughter's wedding. We finished it. Her husband was getting remarried. We planned her second daughter's wedding. Holidays are hard with the new wife. It's not HER. It's the situation. It's things that have been said. It's tender feelings. And raw emotions. And what could have beens. I understand your words. I wish I didn't. Run. And when you run...PRAY.
