and not the good kind unfortunately...... Just needed to write today ... I found this site, (shoutpost), about a year ago. I've used it as a way to "talk" about things when I needed to vent, cry, or just "talk out loud", so to speak - My father went through heart bypass surgery, (He is doing fine thank The Lord), my hubby's Aunt passed away from lung cancer, our nieghbor lost her daughter to cervical cancer, a dear friend's father passed from cancer, I had some surgery, and in January of this year (2007), a very close friend, (like a sister), suddenly passed away too. later in this year, my hubby's Aunt's family came here to have a memorial service for his Aunt, (they stayed with us during that time), and then my nieghbor had a memorial/dedication service for her daughter, where she dedicated a bench, ( at our local beach/park), in her daughter's name, with a plaque on it. ( I posted about that here on shoutpost just recently), - also this is the month when my Aunt passed a few years ago, - also suddenly, we're not sure why, - and just today I found out that a young boy, ( just turned 16), who I found out about through friends, sending me a prayer chain request for him, passed away just yesterday. I guess all of this has me in a slump - just feeling kinda quiet and meloncoly - it's been a tough year........... ................................thanks to all the kind words from all the nice folks here at shoutpost - thanks for "listening" :) |
