I don't always have an opportunity to check in, and I've only commented a handful of times, but I think of you often and my heart breaks for you now. I really believe our greatest need as humans is to feel accepted and it can be unbelievably painful when acceptance is not something you are receiving. <br /><br />You said in your post that others have more important lives than you: that is not true. You are important and you are enough, just exactly as you are. Our value is based on our humanness - it's not relative. I truly believe that. <br /><br />I wish it was enough to say that I accept you, but I know you are needing a more tangible connection that that. Even still it is true. And, while I'm not the praying kind, I keep you in my thoughts and I do wish you peace. More so, I hope you find the love and acceptance we all need. You deserve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-80292265813999625242012-04-26T06:46:04.359-04:002012-04-26T06:46:04.359-04:00thank you for your kind thoughts, Cathy.

I, too, lack friends, I would love to take a walk with you and just be. I'm in Michigan, tho, so we'll just have to walk online. I feel a kinship to you, my husband and I loved the ocean too, we were sailors, planning to sail away someday. That someday came sooner for him than me. Thanks for writing, you have a lovely way of putting words together.

I assume it is just time to step away from the internet for a bit. I do it periodically myself. Glad you are back though!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175077917096988524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-61539029265357977282012-04-20T10:56:40.836-04:002012-04-20T10:56:40.836-04:00Judy, that saying the address book changes when yo...Judy, that saying the address book changes when you become widowed is so very true. it would not be easier if you were gone. please try to fight that feeling, though i have to admit guilty to it crossing my mind on occasion. i know you are also grieving the loss of your friend, Arlene. hang in there. call your children and tell them you need to see them, or hear from them more. they love you, i'm sure. they just don't know what to do right now. and write to me. now that my computer is like brand new, it is reliable. i will always, always answer.<br /><br />Abby, thank you for commenting. it is nice to know that i might be missed.abandonedsoulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020499806998154330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-29867219759999094412012-04-20T10:02:59.819-04:002012-04-20T10:02:59.819-04:00I did notice you were gone.
This is my first time ...I did notice you were gone.<br />This is my first time ever commenting, I just stop in and read your posts when you publish them. I know you don't blog daily so I thought you were busy too. I realize you just got a promotion. There are people who notice, more than you realize.ANGEL ABBYGRACEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777233381092226583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-43150829378661787852012-04-20T09:17:28.260-04:002012-04-20T09:17:28.260-04:00I wondered what happened to you, but I thought you...I wondered what happened to you, but I thought you were just busy with the new job. Of course, right now I am so into my own head that I rarely read anyone else's blogs. I just realized the other day that I am completely alone. My kids don't have time for me. My friends don't call--the loneliness is overwhelming. I go days without seeing another person--unless I get out to the grocery store and that is such a difficult task now. I think it would just be easier on everyone if I were gone!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.com
