And she's right. It's sad, but I'd rather know where I stand.<br /><br />BTW, I have a friend who is a diabetes nurse . if you have any qu's msg me on FB and I'll get u the answers xxxBoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695496303699631884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-50298691327100398162011-05-23T21:12:20.304-04:002011-05-23T21:12:20.304-04:00My darling Susan - it matters little to me what yo...My darling Susan - it matters little to me what you look like - but I have seen your photo when you were with Dan and Margo at Camp Widow :-) I love you with all my heart - you are my sister and always will that be so. One of these days you will come (You not the Bun) and we will sit and talk until we have no breath left in our bodies and we will sit in as much silence as we need. I send my love and a million hugs across the miles between - today and always. xoxoSuzannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209114140584934705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-60716947910387241962011-05-23T16:27:56.815-04:002011-05-23T16:27:56.815-04:00L, i am glad we met.

"for the love of God!!!" i am an artist. like i wrote, Carl said so and now you. there's my proof. maybe one day i'll find the ocean again, even if it's only in my dreams, but i will accept and have the peace i seek.<br /><br />thank you all. peace to all who read. peace and light to all who grieve.abandonedsoulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020499806998154330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-46079764810403346302011-05-23T10:51:58.763-04:002011-05-23T10:51:58.763-04:00For the love of God!!! Who could possibly tell yo...For the love of God!!! Who could possibly tell you, you're not an artist! Amazing the stupidity of some people. Your words written here are artful, your quilts, your little animals made from socks--and especially the Bun. All are filled with art. I was once scoffed at as a children's writer because I couldn't support myself selling my books. BUT you know what? Every little kid (and some old folks) who go to my site and read the stories love the stories--and that is all that matters to me! As for missing the ocean? I do every day--I pretend the car noise I hear from the highway is the swish of ocean waves--coming in and going out. The little cottage I rented last May, right on the beach at Nag's Head--it wasn't much, but I could have stayed the rest of my life and been truly at peace.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-69563607375283272472011-05-23T10:07:38.949-04:002011-05-23T10:07:38.949-04:00I am out here.

I remember reading, after Austin died, how relationships would change and people who you couldn't imagine would end up leaving your life. I was sure that wouldn't happen to me. But it has, and I'm so surprised at who is drifting out of our lives. It has really upset me but I'm trying to realize that it's not me, it's them. They can't deal with our situation for whatever reason that I can't fix (mostly my husband is dead and they have trouble facing that). So, their loss. I wish I could erase all the negative energy the rude and nasty people have sent into your life. Their cruelty is their loss, 'cause I believe in Karma. And you have good Karma! <br /><br />Carl wishes he was with you, too. I wish you peace.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743446066024389563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-42128708411861060612011-05-22T22:49:04.980-04:002011-05-22T22:49:04.980-04:00Don't listen to the ones who say bad things. ...Don't listen to the ones who say bad things. They don't really know you. I believe Van Gogh didn't support himself with his art either. <br /><br />I love Bunny but I don't believe you are Bunny. More like, she is you. Or the you that you show to the world. <br /><br />The Diabetes Association has free cookbooks. You could google them.<br /><br />Take care, TZthelmazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819557846762852247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-38838687659434197032011-05-22T21:01:47.626-04:002011-05-22T21:01:47.626-04:00Sweet Susan.
