Peaceful Board

[faithforever]

Gracie- may I offer some unsolicited advice to your son? What people remember about a wedding is the pictures. THe photos. They won't be the same without both your sons in them.

Prayers for your son's broken heart to heal soon.

[peady2]

Hey, Scarp, I know you're busy. But I hope it's fun busy, not too crazy and you get a little time for yourself. Talk with you soon.

Paula-it those miners were my family, I wouldn't want the rescue efforts to end either. But I think there is so little hope now that they would be found alive I don't think they should risk any more lives at this time. Maybe the mountain will settle down a bit and they can try again later. Right now they should stop.

[Gracie2]

Continued thanks for well wishes and prayers. I most appreciate that. I am having a brunch for the bride, her Mother, Grandmother and attendants the morning of the wedding day. Then, off to get foo-fooed up I will give it my all.

It's Friday, the day son A's girlfriend died which just seems to be a bit of a downer for some reason. Just recognizing that enables me to be proactive in making it a "better" day. Son B's wedding is on Fri as well. That will break the spell, no?

Paula, personally I am with you. I believe the recovery efforts should stop and no one should be endangered. I understand the family wanting their familiy members back, naturally. I just don't believe it is prudent. Agree Peady.

Gracie-my brother died on a Wednesday and for a while I couln't face Wednesdays. After a while it was the 9th of every month and like any death it finally wasn't on my mind all the time.
I agree that he should make an effort to attend the wedding but that's just me-it's his grief.

Hey Scarp. Welcome back. It sounds like you're enjoying your new career.

[Gracie2]

Yes Scarp......someone was banned. Your Fav person! Finally! But....alas, it appears she has returned with her felines. I feel like I am speaking in code. A very amatuerish code. James Bond I'll never be.

I hope the offensive thread will be nipped in the bud. The pattern, frequency of posts etc etc is just like ms sweetness. Oh, did I forget to mention inciteful? Too coincidental that one leaves and the other shows up on the heels.

Time for a party! I wanted to have a "Welcome Back Locals" one like we use to at the beach where I lived when summer vacation season was over. It appears I wanted to party too soon. Ah heck, we should anyways. End of summer gathering.

Stella, ty. It helps for me to hear such things. Being an only child and not living near any relatives leaves me to wonder sometimes. I haven't observed grief in the family much. So, I appreciate your experiences and wisdom. I think you just told me we are normal in this? OK, so I won't stretch it.

[Nursemommy]

Scarp, welcome back. Yeah someone was apparently shown the door but has slipped back in. You sound great. Pop in more often.

[stella blue]

Gracie-as normal as any of us can be....

[Gracie2]

Paula....you spoke too soon! lol
Think I'll sip on some merlot tomorrow night, sit back and watch the show.

Spurt alert!!!

[PaulaJo]

Boy, I hope the site updates next week include the IGNORE THIS POSTER button!

[poliopilot]

How about an "ejection" or "jettison cargo" button? I, too was enjoying the peace on this board & being able to come back. Don't worry; a little fallout isn't going to scare me away. Y'all are stuck with me, lol.

[Scarpetta.]

LOLOL! "ejection or jettison button", OMGosh, you almost made me spit water on my keyboard polio! LOL!

It's nice to see all of you too. I do love y'all and miss you. I am busy, busy. But, yes, Peady, I do love what I'm doing. It's hard... I'm working 70-80 hrs a week for peanuts but... this is the way the best prosecutors are made. It's kind of like being a resident, lol. I know that in the long run it will make me the best litigator I can be. And that's what I want. So I drag my ass out of bed at 6:30 every morning, get home around 8 pm and sometimes have work that I bring home to prep until 11 or 12 at night. I want to be the best I can be. So... boot camp it is... for now. But I think of all of you often.

I just am trying to do what I'm supposed to do in my life right now. A lot of prayers (constantly!) and perseverence.

I am missing my dad more now that it is almost 6 months since I've heard his sweet voice. It's hard. I just keep my head down and keep on grinding away. Love to you all. -D

[PWhite]

Keep on truckin' Scarp!

Tis so good to see your "voice" again.

[Gracie2]

Hey Scarp, prayers for you. My heart goes out to you re missing your Dad, hearing his voice. It kills me as I watch my own slipping away inch by inch. Sometimes I look at him and think he could die anytime due to his appearance. I can't imagine, and am afraid I will sooner rather than later. I pray not though. My heart just tugs for you! I took him to buy him a suit for sons wedding, and had to help him get dressed. Soooo sad!
Ugh, pass the kleenex please!

I know your Dad is smiling on you as you work away. We are all (well most of us anyways! lol) so proud of you!

Wonderful to see you again. Need our help at work????! lol Now, that could be comical!

Your cracking me up Polio, you too pawhite!

[Scarpetta.]

Thank you all. Really, your thoughts and prayers and support all make a difference.

Gracie... I heard a country song the other day, it was about "seeing past the tears to the joy our loved ones have with God" ... it's the truth, and it makes a difference. I'll be praying for you and your dad.

Thank you all. Love and best to you, -D
