Gretta seems much like my Lil. Daring. Fearless. Discipline? No big deal. I would miss all of it immeasureably. Thanks for your honesty. It helps us all to remember the treasures our kids are, even in moments when we'd like to - you know - sell them at the next garage sale. We'll continue to pray for all of you.~codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370560356589274117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-69286712877121934912008-12-02T19:19:00.000-08:002008-12-02T19:19:00.000-08:00Gosh, such simple things we take for granted that ...Gosh, such simple things we take for granted that we don't even realize we'd miss. I mean, you just don't think about things like that, like the length of her hair but thinking about it now is so sad. <BR/><BR/>I only ever met Gretta once but I've seen so many pictures of her and heard so many memories that I feel like I knew her better than I really did and since I also have a child the same age it's easy to relate to what kids that age are like. They're all so alike in a lot of ways!<BR/><BR/>This is a very, very hard time of year for people that are grieving a loss and I think about you very often Lesley, every single day. I'm continually reminded because of you to treasure the simplest things that I'd otherwise probably never even think of. <BR/><BR/>I was going to say that I don't have much to say but then I realized I already wrote 3 paragraphs. Really though I don't know what to say other than you've been such a blessing to me and I appreciate your honesty in your writing. You are continually in my prayers!<BR/><BR/>Love your friend,<BR/>NicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459414445021468183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-7835702873012377552008-12-02T16:46:00.000-08:002008-12-02T16:46:00.000-08:00I can't imagine what your family must be going thr...I can't imagine what your family must be going through especially during the holidays. I think of you often and pray for your family. As I am leaving a comment, The song Come to Jesus is playing. What a great reminder for us all.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852520095333169555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-58482108062110185942008-12-02T16:40:00.000-08:002008-12-02T16:40:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852520095333169555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-6531143802374296332008-12-02T15:57:00.000-08:002008-12-02T15:57:00.000-08:00I think it's ok to be where you are at today... an...I think it's ok to be where you are at today... and it certainly won't be the last day you feel this way. <BR/><BR/>Praying for you...Jess(ica)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06943364119066249439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-71009398645667183972008-12-02T15:44:00.000-08:002008-12-02T15:44:00.000-08:00I find it interesting that you wrote that you don'...I find it interesting that you wrote that you don't have anything encouraging to say.... aren't WE supposed to be the ones encouraging and comforting you?! <BR/><BR/>And it's okay to be sad. If you aren't sad then you won't experience the comfort that God will give. Matthew 5:4<BR/>Thank you for letting us know how to pray for you today.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374300702470582032noreply@blogger.com
