In a way we are living a para...Oh my sweet friend!<br /><br />In a way we are living a parallel journey in the fact that we both have amazing phenomenal husbands who believe that he and his wife are a team and together they can get through anything along with the silent/not so silent partner named God.<br /><br />We both were blessed/cursed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue system and then we each have our other issues. You have shown me how to traverse this with your honesty, encouragement and love. I will never be able to thank you enough for that.<br /><br />We are both mega animal lovers with your dogs/cats and now my dog/cat. <br /><br />You, with your four amazing daughters as well as I, with my two daughters and one son, have shared the joy, sorrow, heartache and worry of getting them from birth to flying on their own. I sometimes think it has been harder in the summer of their lives (now) than in the spring of their lives when I was their world, they loved my songs I sang them to sleep with and they snuggled sleepily on my shoulder fighting that last bit of wakefulness before drifting off to dreamland.<br /><br />And we do differ, as it is designed, for being the same would interfere with what we learn from one another.<br /><br />You live on the beautiful Western coast where you wake up to a fresh new day designed by God and His wonder. To see that every day and night must be like being in Heaven. I am in Illinois, the Heartland, as it is known, where it is as flat as a pancake and the days pretty well run together. I get the occasional plethora of Fall color and sometimes snow that is enough to build a snowman in the meadow. God has taught me that in whatever state I find myself in, I am to be blessed and I am. A cancer diagnosis reinforced that and drove home the point, as well as the sudden death of my BFF Kathy, that life is NOW, in the moment, and there are seldom do-overs.<br /><br />You will always be a mother. You wear many hats. As the mother of an almost 36 year old I can tell you that I will be needed as her mother until one of us draws our last breath. You never get too old for your mother's arms. You will find the same with your angels.Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184900184545881232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-85296361773124346642013-07-10T00:05:28.459-07:002013-07-10T00:05:28.459-07:00Hi Debra.
