I loved her and loved her sculptures. I have one on my mantel. <br /><br />I love how blogging connects people and encourages people. What I never foresaw with my own blog is that it would bring me closer to my family--the ones who live far away and the ones who live in the next town. Somehow I feel comfortable writing things that I might not feel free to say in person. <br /><br />I'm glad you are going to keep writing. Your blog is a joy in my journey.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091216096297798587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923253182612573434.post-35792641399360734692010-12-06T22:36:36.557-06:002010-12-06T22:36:36.557-06:00I've been meaning to read your blog since Satu...I've been meaning to read your blog since Saturday, and find myself just now getting to it. I wanted to be sure to encourage you to NOT quit writing this blog. Sad as it is, I don't find many christians who are real, and share their struggles. It's encouraging to my own christian walk to find folks such as yourself who are real and share the real struggles in their life. It encourages me to keep-on keeping-on in my faith walk. Soooo THANK YOU for being so gracious on Saturday. I'm glad I didn't chicken out of coming over and meeting you. God Bless. Your writings are especially encouraging now as I lost my mom 11/10/10. xoxosusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704162334175184293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923253182612573434.post-89760944158271127962010-12-05T16:15:18.505-06:002010-12-05T16:15:18.505-06:00Ditto Lynn's comment.

It's always better to be real and deal with the emotions and feelings rather than stuffing them down in and pretending to be anything other than what you are.<br /><br />Wasn't the Christmas Celebration wonderful? And, it was especially nice to see you. <br /><br />Give me some ideal times for a coffee date if you're up to it and have the time!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531911213929482494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923253182612573434.post-20503142383538400752010-12-04T18:33:25.191-06:002010-12-04T18:33:25.191-06:00Not to sound like a broken record, but you be real...Not to sound like a broken record, but you be real and share whatever you need to share. You really are doing well on your grief journey. I had the same experience that first year.
