I miss you guys and think about you every day.

((BJ)) how is your knee healing? And how is Hooper too? I loved your pictures of him at Christmas time shopping at the pet store.

((Nik)) Are things starting to settle in for dear Lyn? Are you getting warmer weather there and seeing some of that snow melt? Our snow has been all but gone since the February 'thaw'. Though there could be another big hit of a snowstorm, spring is just around the corner. I talked to my trees yesterday to let them know how thrilled I am to see the tiny buds on them.

I love you both.

Holding you close to me dear Nikki ssss and prayers winging their way to you.

((((BJ))))...you will have a package soon.

We all love you both very much...

We are family, we worry....

*beginning to wring my hands, and pace....

Sending more prayers and hugs

Both of you have been on my mind too....

Are you OK? I hope you are feeling better. I know that you have been through an ordeal. I hope that you feel a bit better.

BJ Are you OK? We miss you. BF

"So many people are afraid to bring up my loss. They don't want to upset me. But my tears are the only way I have to release the deep sorrow I feel. I tell people, "Don't worry about crying in front of me, and don't be afraid that you'll make me cry! Your tears telll me you care, and my tears tell you that you've touched me in a place that is meaningful to me--and I will never forget your willingness to share my grief."

"In fact, those who shed their tears with me show me we are not alone. It often feels like we are carrying this enormous load of sorrow, and when others shed their tears with me, it is as if they are taking a bucketful of sadness and carrying it for me. It is, perhaps, the most meaningful thing anyone can do for me."

"Our culture wants to put a Band-aid of heaven on the hurt of losing someone we love. Sometimes it seems like the people around us think that because we know the one we love is in heaven, we shouldn't be sad. But they don't understand how far away heaven feels, and how long in the future seems as we see before us the years we have to spend on this earth before we see the one we love again."

Out of "Holding On To Hope," by Nancy Guthrie

We often think that we will burden another with our sorrow, grief, and pain. When there is love, it is not a burden at all. Love invites pain, love forgives, love understands. Love lifts and offers the flame of hope in the darkest of nights.

I cry with you, and pray for you, and with you.
I hope you will find a way to let us know how you are.
Keeping you in my heart, thoughts, and prayers....

Loss comes in many forms: relationships, health, well-being, and on and on. All of it is challenging!

BJ

We also need to remember that many times people need their personal space.

They need time to themselves and not feel like they have to post. Or feel that they have to reply and be supportive.

It's not always that they don't feel that they "can't" share or post or hit a TY, but that they choose not to, for their own best interest.
