Tell your loved ones you love them today, even if they're gone.
I loved you Mama, John Michael, and Amelia Nicole. Thankful that I know y'all are free of pain, and are with our Heavenly Father. Will see y'all again someday.

I'm sorry, Cindy.

You sure have been through a lot. Praying for you...

I can't even imagine what it must be like. Losing my dad when I was 13 almost 40 years ago still affects me today and losing my sweet mom a year and half ago still hurts.
A couple of days ago I was thinking about my dad while driving and got all choked up and tears in my eyes. Then I thought to myself that this was a wonderful tribute to a man who only had 13 years to make an impression on his son and it has been a lasting one.
I will be praying that the Holy Spirit will indeed be a comforter to you as promised.

CC1, my husband called me at work the other day....something he never does. He was all choked up. A woman on his team at work had a brain aneurysm and, since he is the boss, he knew about it but could not talk about it at the time to anyone until he had the go-ahead from her family. His Dad died of a brain aneurysm when he was 16 and he found him in the driveway. Sometimes, it all comes back.

Yes, it does come back sometimes when you least expect it. I have an awesome husband, wonderful children and grandchildren. But sometimes I sure miss my Mama and my Dad.

Your post really touched my heart, Sis Cindy. And, though I won't presume to say I know how you feel, I can certainly relate. February is not a very good month for me, either. It was three years ago this month that I lost my wife. I don't know if time heals wounds or not. But I do believe its the love you have for, and have shared with, your loved ones that makes the wounds easier to bear. At times, I miss my wife as much as I did the day she left, but, knowing we had 13 of the happiest years of my life together makes it easier to bear.
I grieve with you, and I pray God comforts you in the knowledge that, though we can't understand it, He does all things well. God bless you, sister.

Yes, I understand OneAccord. I hope you have peace and solace, too.
Thanks for all the words of comfort and prayers, everyone. It really does help.

Re: This Is A Sad Month For Me
Cindy, I sooooooo wish that there were words that could take this hurt away completely. There really isn't anything any of us can say tho. Just know that we all love you and are going to remember you in prayer this month in particular. You and OneAccord. And CC1.
If you were within driving distance to me, I would get in the car right now, drive to your house, ring your doorbell and give you the biggest hug ever. Then I would sit beside you on your couch and listen to you tell me everything that made your loved ones so special.
