Grief often plants bitter seeds that eventually produce a bitter harvest. It’s evident from your joy-filled life that you placed your sorrow in God’s hands. You’re an inspiration to us all.<BR/><BR/>Darlene, I followed the story of your daughter's death, and I've sent up many prayers on your behalf. I have a daughter, so I can't imagine the depth of your grief. Bless you, sweetie.Marcia Gruverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563812990616453572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-52367298675987884822008-05-29T06:00:00.000-07:002008-05-29T06:00:00.000-07:00Thanks for stopping by, ladies.You know, I used to...Thanks for stopping by, ladies.<BR/><BR/>You know, I used to think grief was bad--it involves suffering, after all. Now I understand grief is healing, kind of like a wound slowly knitting back together. Of course, for it the Great Physician who heals us completely.<BR/><BR/>I think it's good to carry the memory of our loved ones close. It's a comfort to us!Elizabeth Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056509500051387657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-57683683443876372982008-05-29T05:37:00.000-07:002008-05-29T05:37:00.000-07:00Nice post.

And when he laughed hard, tears always ran down his cheeks which caused us all to laugh harder. :) <BR/><BR/>Our memories are a comfort ... sometimes fun.Jessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-45143183428337583382008-05-29T05:15:00.000-07:002008-05-29T05:15:00.000-07:00Hey girl, I know you carry Seth very close to your...Hey girl, I know you carry Seth very close to your heart.
