Yet you keep doing it. You've judged SF without knowing him, just as you've judged Obama without giving him a fair chance.
You claim to be a christian, but think that if we don't think the same as you, we're damned to hell. The God I grew up learning about would never condemn us the way many 'christians' do.
We can talk & have constructive disagreements, but why get nasty & sling mud??
I had sort of a different situation with my dear grandfather. He had a bad heart & suffered 9 heart attacks before he died suddenly in his sleep. That, I suppose, was both sides of the situation.
I try to remind myself that the Irish have a wake to CELEBRATE moving onto the next rhealm of life. They don't want us to mourn, but rather celebrate. Let's face it, we're just sad because we won't have them here anymore. But where we've always been taught they'll be... well, isn't that much better? I know, some don't believe in that & I'm not sure how I feel, myself. But to think of my mom in such a peaceful place with the rest of her family does help to ease the pain for me.
Hi Ken! I'm glad to hear that you're (somewhat) getting back on your feet. I'm sure it'll be a long journey. But as I always say... everything happens for a reason. Just not always sure what that reason may be.
I know what you're saying. I had to do the same with my mom. Yes, it's very hard to watch them suffer. What was even harder for me was that my poor daughter had to watch her go through this just months after watching her other grandmother pass away from cancer. It is a hard thing to deal with. But I'm very grateful that I had those last months with my mom, to let her know just how much I loved her & appreciated all she did for us kids. And to try to show her that we'd be alright when she was gone. Not to mention that she got to see Owen.
You can hear a pin drop!
Sorry kid, maybe tomorrow. My shift's over!
