What would I do without my friends????? Thank you so much for your comments on my blog and FaceBook! I can't begin to express to you how much your thoughts/advice/prayers mean to me. Believe me, I read them more than once. From me to you: ..... thank you from the bottom, top and middle of my heart!!!
For me, some days are good and some days are so sad when I visit David. Yesterday was a sad day! I came home crying and feeling so sad for David.
When he's sleeping ...I don't feel so sad, but when his big blue eyes are open and staring, it really does a number on me.
(this is when I need a glass of wine and sit on the deck and look at the beach... so many good memories for us at Port Aransas)
I returned home from visiting David and I had a phone call (a prayer request), A wonderful young woman, a member of our church, in her 50's, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. If you're a praying person, please pray for Meg...... God will know who she is......
I must say that my sadness transferred from David and me to Meg.....David and I are older, we've had a good life......
(David teaching our granddaughter, Francie, ...how to dance.)
David had two pair of boots that he loved!!! I ask our children, grandchildren and best friends if they wanted them (they weren't the right size for anyone) but .... our first granddaughter, Francie... said, "yes"... they don't fit she or her husband, but she will use them as a decoration in their new home. This makes me smile, and I'm sure her Pope is smiling too!
(Our precious granddaughter, Laura.... she reads my blog and comments.... thank you my precious granddaughter, I love you!"
God is good!!

Meg? As in the former Gingrich? That is so sad. And it is still so sad what you and David are going through but I know that you know that David is in God's hands and so are you. Love you.

Will add her to my prayers. What a precious family you have.
Hugs and prayers also for you and David,

Your granddaughter, Laura, is a sweetheart She must be quite grown up by now. Pretty girl and a pretty name, too.
I will add your friend to my prayers tonight. Poor soul. I pray she beats it!
Take care, Dolores... and may God shine his wonderous light and love down upon you and David.
It is so easy to be supportive of you when you are so supportive and caring to everyone around you! Love the fact that Francie can use his boots in a way that will remind her of her sweet Pope!
Love you! L~
PS- Tried to comment on FB also but the comment button wouldn't open up...
I will pray for Meg. And continue to pray for you and david. I wish you didn't have to have ANY sad days. XO
"Lord, may you shine your love upon Meg. I ask Lord that you would draw her to You in an amazing way. Would you be the God of all comfort to her at this most desperate time and would Jesus become sweeter and dearer than ever before. In His Name we ask these things. Amen."
Laura is a lovely young lady! She has a lovely heart too!! Francie wanting those boots reminded me of something that I have, an old watch that Daddy had. These things are reminders of sweet memories! You remain in my prayers and Meg will be there now too.
Yes, others' life stories can often help us regain an equilibrium about our own circumstances. I have prayed for Meg and will do each time she comes to mind.
Love the story of the boots. Yes, I am certain that they will be treasured. The brown transferware pitcher that I've been showing is from my grandfather's side of the family. I also have his violin, his travel case, and an assortment of his ties. I treasure them. Your granddaughter will treasure the boots.
What a sweet grandgirlie on the pumpkin mountain! You have a lovely family...so supportive and good.
Many blessings to both you and David.
It is so sad to hear that anyone is suffering. I hope they find peace. Hugs to you, my friend!
I've been thinking about you lately ... the sadness will abate somewhat, but a part of your heart will feel sad forever, and that is OK.
What a darling little girl, she looks so sweet standing there in the middle of all those pumpkins.
Memories, yes dear sweet memories, what in the world would we do without them and that is what keeps us going. Prayers and blessings, Lu
I agree with Helen. There are sadnesses that never go away. And yet, sometimes those sadnesses grow into something that wasn't there before. Today I worked with a 14 year old boy. We did something that I could not have done before CB died. So it is his victory, as well as for the boy I helped. David is gone now, and he can't come back. But he feels your pain, nevertheless, and someday he will be in heaven, rejoicing over every happiness that you have, just as CB does for me. Love does that. And God is love.
Love you.
Oh my goodness - thank God our hearts are big enough to pray and love many - because life can really and truly be sad. All types of things.
Your husband with his granddaughter - so sweet. And your little granddaughter with the pumpkins - so cute.
Hugs.
Morning sweet friend...Sorry I've been late lately! Me and the blog have been fighting!
I am praying for Meg!! Bless her heart...and your granddaughters are Beautiful! Not only on the outside but within as Well!
There is So much saddness in this old world...I pray for God to send you strength and...smiles...
(((((HUG)))))
Oh Dolores, my heart goes out to you. Sometimes the sadness is overwhelming and a good cry is what's needed.
I have just said a prayer for Meg.
How sweet that Francie will be using David's boots in such a clever way.
Laura sure looks cute amidst all of the pumpkins. How sweet that she reads and comments on your blog.
Know that you remain in my thoughts and prayers.
((Hugs)).
Hi Dolores,
I will pray for Meg. Your Granddaughter is adorable, how nice that she reads your blog and comments. I am sorry that you feel sad. I think of you all the time. I wish I lived nearby so that we could go out for coffee and a talk.
That view out that window is amazing. Have a nice day. I am going to also say a prayer that God sends you extra blessings today.

Will add Meg to my prayer list and lift her up to the Lord. WE know he is the great physician. ONE DAY... when the Lord returns we will never have to hear the word cancer again. There will be no sickness.
Keeping you and yours in prayer.
Delores,
I'm so sorry to hear that Meg is battling cancer - I will pray for her healing and relief from pain.
I can really identify with you feeling sad when you see David. I know, I know.
Isn't family wonderful? And God is so very good.

David's boots, there is something about the empty shoes and boots of people we love that moves me.How precious they are going to your granddaughter Francie, how truly precious.
Titles and prayers, sometimes the words elude us, but God knows. He does, praise Him !
You are not alone. We are all here for you. I'm behind in blogs but trying to catch up. Will pray for Meg as well as you and your family. DH's uncle also has pancreatic cancer. It's another one of those horrible diseases I wish we could eradicate altogether.
You have so many precious photos, DOlores. I love looking at them. Hold on to the memories....Christine
Your treasures are your pictures and you have the most beautiful record of them. We have to hold on to them. You know, David is just going to start his journey to the Lord's. I'm sure David was the kind of man that did right for you and was always there in every way, so I'm sure he'll clear the path for you, so you can meet him again for eternity.
Love,
FABBY
