Wise words dear lady but alot easier said than done. I also was raised to believe in forgiveness but since losing Matthew and contact with Michael's only child it's a real struggle for me. I work on it, my Pastor counsels me on it...I truely believe that it hurts us more than anyone else.

That's why I am so drawn to our Amish community...so in awe of them and I guess I'm hoping it will rub off on me...I do try to "get it" but Matthew was only 8 (as you well know) when a medical "error" killed him.

And I will possibly never see our new great grandson..(that's some progress, I started to write PROBABLY....)

We all have trials in this life...no one gets out alive.

I can't believe that it's already been a year since we were all together on that beautiful island....(give your fella a hug from me...I was caught off guard to learn that he's really only human.)
