As one who can relate, but has not been able to get past the point of recognizing the problem, know that life won't get any easier by not stopping to face the grief of the present day. Not only does it steal the peace of dealing with the loss, it steals the joy of living in the moment. Thank you for bringing to light areas that I know God wants to healAngelianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369046387776630625.post-10321975292040938652009-04-07T16:08:00.000-06:002009-04-07T16:08:00.000-06:00Meg, (the beautiful one)My heart is full of compas...Meg, (the beautiful one)<BR/>My heart is full of compassion for you as you share your emotions and feelings, some flowing, and some still not realized. As you have said before, "this sucks". You are so right on about that! It sucks having to see our family go through this pain and loss of Nate, a brother, a son, a nephew, a grandson, an uncle, a fiancé, a cousin and a friend!<BR/><BR/>I believe the word is "go through".<BR/>How each of us "goes through" is going to be different.<BR/>How we deal with each emotion, the lows and the very lowest of lows.<BR/>The valleys along the way wondering where is God in this and why God, why?<BR/>I agree that looking for the next best thing is a thought that I continue to look upon.<BR/><BR/>As I am still processing the precious time I was given to be with you and your family while I was in Boise. I got to experience the family that Nate loves and is loved by. A family that lives their lives open, real with passion for each other and for others. From their waking up in the morning to their going to bed at night. A family that is surrounded by so many close friends that one can't even begin to count or try to keep track of.<BR/><BR/>Meg...<BR/>To address your question,” what are you to "do" in order to "have" the life you want?" I wish had an answer! Both you and I know who does! Only God can answer that for you. My pray for you is that you will diligently press into God, with a raised fist asking Him for all of the answers! Soon that fist will open up and a hand will begin to take shape. A hand of a beautiful woman who can praise her God and can see the beauty from the ashes.<BR/>I value the time I had getting to know you and your hubby and your blessing boy, Cole. I will cherish that special time of discovery and love forever. You are so special to me! I would have never have known the depths of this love without Nate.<BR/>I am discovering because of Nate, who loved all, was passionate about people and loved family time, that I want a lot of that! <BR/>Nate, you are missed by the family who didn't get enough of you when you were here! I look forward to the sofa that you have sent ahead.<BR/>P.S. Your sister is awesome!, yea you already now that!<BR/>Love,<BR/>Aunt JulieJulienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369046387776630625.post-42947005886204434952009-04-07T12:27:00.000-06:002009-04-07T12:27:00.000-06:00Your words are so comforting and loving, Meg.

As your papa, I have LOVED watching your mature and seeing you touch so many people.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your posting today. It is a worthy read.<BR/>DadDennishttp://www.dennismansfield.comnoreply@blogger.com
