Could you please remember my family? And if you don't... could you keep us in your thoughts?

I keep thinking I shouldn't have any tears left... but they just keep rolling down my cheeks. First my Dad's last sister passed away in November... then I lost my little Cosette to cancer... and while she had more legs than me and wore fur instead of clothes, that was my child.

Last week, one of my mother's sister's died... today, it was her brother. I lift my head up only to see another sorrow rolling our way. I don't know if I'm so tired from all the traveling, or if my heart's just that heavy...

But if you think of us, please do so with kindness.

You know we will . . .
Surviving can be the hardest thing.
January, and winter in general, has been the parting season for me of late, and here comes another one.

Ruth, you have my warmest heart hugs coming your way. This will be emotionally draining, no mater whether you must travel or not. Don't let go of your personal needs, good nutrition and adequate sleep at this time. You are very strong, and might need to be a shoulder for another family member. My thoughts are with you today, and know that all of us at Pips will be an emotional support team for you.

You're in my thoughts and I'll ask Mommy Muys to pray, she's better at that than I am.

You and your family get a lot to cope with these days Suthern, but know you're all in my heart.

I deeply and truly appreciate every one of you... Because he died out of state on a holiday weekend, my uncle's funeral isn't until tomorrow... I hope so much the end to this year brings the end of sorrows... and that all future tears will be ones of joy.

Thank you, my friends... your support means the world to me.

Ruth,  you are certainly in my thoughts...
and I am wishing that all of this will soon
abate and allow you and your family some
peace of mind.  Sadly,  we all have years
like this...Somehow..we grow stronger..it
just hurts an awful lot getting there.

Ruth,
I cannot imagine such a constant wave of loss. I pray for courage, strength and peace for you and your entire family.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

You dear lady have not even had time to catch your breath since we last spoke, and now yet more grief has been added to your load.  I assume God is trying to tell us the good folks are to be our example of strength and courage, because you sure have had your share of sadness and tears this year.  I can only hope that in 2004 Ruth, all those tears will be tears of laughter and joy, but in the meantime, you are for sure in my prayers, and may he also rest in peace.

A Very Happy New Year To You and Yours!                    
Let there be peace on earth

You're going through a very, very difficult time, but please believe we care, never doubt that.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  In my own way, I'm holding you through this, as are your fellow poets and friends.  God bless, dear one.  May God also give you strength, as HE continually does for me.  Bless you!
