 Webshots Photo ***** How can she release the aching pain of her past How can she forget and be completely happy at last She tries to push it back into the recesses of her mind Especially now that she has the love of someone so true and kind She will think she is all over the horrible happenings of the thing But then thoughts creep back into her to make her cry instead of sing When will all these hurtful dark thoughts be gone away When will she be able to completely make them in her past to stay When will she be able to get on with her life Totally trusting again so she can be her Love's new wife When ***** [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-04-2003 01:51 AM).] |

It's hard to set ourself free from the past, and break away from those chains that hold us back. But you know Ethel, you've got love on your side, and you'll make it, I'm certain of it. Hugs to you this morning~ |

Now. And it's easy....she'll just start that process again, get some new memories to be wistful about....! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Thank you, Lori. You're sweet. I guess it's just that some song or something I read brings back painful memories sometimes. I'm so blessed to have someone love me who is so understanding and patient with me. I just hope he doesn't get tired of me and my thoughts. Hugs, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-03-2003 10:47 AM).] |

Thank you, Ed. He's certainly willing to accept me and all my old baggage that comes along with me. This is one way I know that he loves me so much....he loves unconditionally and totally. And, we are already working on replacing all those painful and sad memories with good and happy ones. Now, if only my daughter can do the same..... Hugs, Ethel |

Yes, ~NOW~, just as soon as she lays the entire, pitiful package in God's lap, where it always belonged...He'll know and she will know enough is enough. If she is not getting strength to deal with it, perhaps, IT isn't hers to begin with.... When from dysfunction, Ethel, sometimes it takes daughters just as much time as it took us to find peace of mind and a realization there is nothing to forgive....it takes time, and in God's own time, I believe you will know her true love again...Why? Because I believe in the goodness of God. Hugs to you, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Pat, as always, your wisdom is right. You have a very good insight, my friend. thank you. Hugs, Ethel (and, she needs prayer to be able to do that, so pray for her. Okay?) |

I can not answer your question of "when," my friend. Just when I think my past is put safely to rest, it awakens. Emotions of anger, pain, and disgust well up inside of me. Sometimes you don't even know what caused the past to awake so abruptly in your head. But time is a beautiful healer, and patience is what is needed now to allow time to work its magic. God Bless, -Patricia |

garysgirl, Letting go is such a very hard and most difficult process to achieve... Thank God that You have someone and so many even here in this forum who are so very understanding and willing to be with you, to support you, and to help you through the process. May God continue to bless you and yours and keep you ever in His loving care. -Bob |

When? When she is ready to take back the power it has over her and let it go. Good write Ethel. |

Very nice poem garysgirl, very thought provoking... This is just a thought, but maybe all the things we experience, good and bad, aren’t meant to go away. Maybe, they are what make us who we are? And maybe, if we’re very fortunate enough, we can control the bad experiences, by just knowing that, although they will always be there. We can now use them to remind us how good we have it now? Again, it is only a thought... I wish for you all the best... Richy |

When? The moment you accept it was part of your life, but isn't part of your future. Embrace happiness while it's smiling at you. |

Ricahrd, and you are right. Our experiences in life are what makes us who we are. And, the past does help me to know how very blessed I am to have my sweet Love. He is so wonderful and I know that he loves me unconditionally. Thank you. . . Munda, oh yes, you are so very right. Thank you very much. I really do appreciate it. . . Noah, it is so hard to completely trust again.... without reservation. But, I will!! I just hope that my Gary doesn't run out of patience with me. I really need him to always be there for me. I believe he will be, because he loves me so very deeply. Thank you. . . I deeply thank all of you for being so sweet and understanding. Heart hugs to you all, Ethel |

Sue, thank you, little one. Yes, it is "behind my back". And, it seems I'm surely writing about it a lot lately. I think that having to move my stuff from my other house is making me think too much. I'll be glad when I can just write about my happiness with my Gary and myself, again. Thank you, little friend. . . Dixie, I really thank all of you for letting me share my pain as well as my joy here. Ya'll are all so sweet by offering encouragement to me. I sincerely thank all of you. . . June, thank you so much. And, you are so right... Love is always right there helping me to fill up and push out the bad memories, replacing them with happy, wonderful memories. . . I really thank all of you and appreciate you all, too. Heart hugs to you all, Ethel |

Dear friend, I hope 'when' is soon and you can move on. It is so difficult to let go and begin a new life. But I know you can do it. You have my prayers. Huggles, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

Dear Ethel, you write from your heart and share so well that we all just want to reach out and hug you. Release everything into God's hands. We all find painful obstacles on our path back Home and even though we overcome them, sometimes the memory of them hurts still. I wish you would bloom fully in this new love you have been blessed with .....Gary is such a wonderful man and I am sure that the love you share can be fully savoured in the now, without the interference of the past. Let him feel that this love is strong. When? Possibly Now! Best wishes also for your daughter! I love your poem. Much love, Margherita  |

garysgirl - I wonder if it ever leaves one. Perhaps it stays in the recesses, and lets one discover new all over again... BC |

Vandana, I appreciate you very much and thank you for replying. . . Nancy Lee, thank you for always being here for me with an encouraging word. I really appreciate you, friend. You are very sweet. . . Bill, I think that you may be right. I need to just move on with my life and love with Gary, and continue to make new memories. And to just keep loving and helping my daughter with whatever help she wants me to help her with, and to let her know I'll always be there for her. Thank you, friend. . . Heart hugs to you all, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-07-2003 10:41 AM).] |
