jonesy, wow, this touched my heart this morning.... this sunday morning .... recalling until recently that sundays were so terribly lonely and difficult for me....and not this sunday morning my heart is full .... I saw so many others who i recognize respond to your post and my heart got full that they were there with you also...

Do you "get it" how amazing it is for me...... -moi..... this neglected, disconnected, isolating (inside feelings) person to feel (inside) warmth and connectedness to you and the others????

I am alone in my home this morning.... all of my life I have felt so alone, especially when I actually am alone..... this morning I feel supported and hopeful and even sort of full....gratitude, acceptance....... I know the journey is difficult....in an hour who knows what emotion i will be wrestling with...but for now, this moment..... I am very grateful.

ps.....when i am with my kids and grandkids later.... i will tell them how awesome they are...... thank you so much for the reminder!!!

Hi BrokenButterflyWings, there, Starfish and Shine

Thank you all for being here with me.
Unconditional acceptance. That's isurvive.
Whoever you are, whatever you bring. Caring, sharing, supporting. Always someone around.

Aw. :) that's a lovely anecdote to share, thank you. :) I don't have any children, but I always find it heartening these days to see others giving love, attention and kindness to their sons and daughters. That's how it should be, and it's a beautiful thing. :)

TheMother never did this ... Ever. We would have thought it was some sort of trick if she did. It is a blessing to have a mother's love. It makes children whole and able to deal with the world. You are a good mother ... She is blessed.

yes, healinghearts... it is such a stark reality that some mothers can never be there for their children and oh, the pain it causes... may we all remember to speak those kind, encouraging , welcoming words to any child who comes into our lives!
