Daniel,
You continue to touch our hearts with your deep sharing. May God fill you with his love & peace as you walk through each day. You & Violet remain in our prayers.
With love,
Ed & Berrie❤️
Thank you again for sharing your profound thoughts. So many truths to ponder: Dawn's wise words on forgiveness, Kierkagaard's wisdom, Sara's "further in" and your years on the dance floor. Your journals can be difficult to read since I was involved in my loved one's hospice care when she recently lost her fight with cancer...so many memories, but your writings are also a gift since I'm reminded and learning more of how to "do" the grief process.

Oh Daniel! Your reflections here are such an accurate outpouring of love and grief, of total and complete devastation, of the difficult necessity of moving forward. I believe you are doing it well. And you are inspiring me to love Jim more now and yet honor the pain of losing Jeff so many years ago. Sending love and gratitude.
Lots to contemplate here. Thanks and continued prayers. Glad to see you and Violet at worship these Sundays. The walk of faith-- one foot in front of the other. Praying you will find even small blessings every day.
Glad you got it, as an Italian we try to heal with food. I wish I could take away your pain with food. I have been reading Rachel Held Evan’s first book, when you get a moment you might get something out of it. Sending you much love and prayers.
With the love of God,
sam & dave
