For better or worse, it does make blogging seem <i>kind of</i> worthwhile. :)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166288.post-55101412892236521542015-11-06T14:24:31.787-05:002015-11-06T14:24:31.787-05:00I wish I could comment on all your posts but I am ...I wish I could comment on all your posts but I am woefully behind and have not the slightest hope of catching up. So I'll leave it at this.<br /><br />I love your blog, Abby- your wit and your wanderings and beauty in words at snapshots. It is inspiring and hopeful, wise and good. <br /><br />I hope someday you will come to realize the good it has brought you also (as you look back on the thoughts and memories or as fingers fly over the keyboard with thoughts bound up and weighing)- and not just that pesky thing you did to keep in touch with the in-laws. :-)<br /><br />And to know, also, the good it brings others. You are a light shining in a dark world. And that is not making too much of things. <br /><br />Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166288.post-52801679907290400142015-09-26T05:33:49.407-05:002015-09-26T05:33:49.407-05:00Michelle,
As much suffering as your family has b...Michelle, <br /><br />As much suffering as your family has been through in these past years, yours is exactly the sort of marriage that shows me firsthand the Lord's love for His bride. It is a powerful thing to see couples like you and Tom faithfully uphold each other so well, as you, too, even in physical weakness, lend strength to the union. <br /><br />If you ever find yourselves passing near the area, let me know! We'd love to see you and would give tea & cookies and lots of children to overwhelm your sweet boys with attention. :)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166288.post-53731638838574162382015-09-24T10:14:05.432-05:002015-09-24T10:14:05.432-05:00Abigail---

I think about the road Tom's had to walk in the past few years (ok, to be honest, since we met) and I wonder if I'd be so strong. Thank you for the reminder that it is a test not yet given to me, but that I have examples of other faithful women and men to look to if and when it comes. <br /><br />And about grief: I'm sorry.<br /><br />And about you: I wish now we'd spent more time together, or that we could remedy the apartness in the future with a meeting of our families. <br /><br />~Michelle Farmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302317250316561063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166288.post-89529605454491736772015-09-22T15:53:18.697-05:002015-09-22T15:53:18.697-05:00Thank you for reading and giving scattered words a...Thank you for reading and giving scattered words a place to rest.<br /><br />Debbie,<br />Don't let this keep you from also putting words to it. My poetry stays fragmented in my head these days, and yours fills up a part of me that doesn't get out much.<br /><br />Rundy, <br />You've been there at the end, and though your relationship wasn't that of a spouse, I imagine there was similar movement on your part from grandson to caretaker, and the difficult, blurring lines between them both.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166288.post-58075604415667984912015-09-19T19:11:30.100-05:002015-09-19T19:11:30.100-05:00The pictures go with the topic so well.

When you have cared for people at the end of life the "Til death do us part" takes on extra experiential weight.

I feel the lack of connection; the ties that bound us are still there, but I miss feeling their vitality.Deborah Purdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760499726867750375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166288.post-55941089289415671882015-09-18T19:02:16.487-05:002015-09-18T19:02:16.487-05:00Ethereal, all of it, in different ways.Ethereal, all of it, in different ways.Titihttp://www.cloudydaywriting.comnoreply@blogger.com
