10.9.12

I got to spend an unexpected lunch with one of my dearest friends. I am so grateful for her, our friendship, and the conversation we shared.  It was nice to talk about her mom and their relationship.  I knew her mom and the relationship between them a lot more than I knew my mom and our relationship. I was then able to go get my hair dyed and cut and felt a little better about myself afterward.
I am so appreciative of the conversation this afternoon and the prayer that followed.  The prayer made a connection I have not felt in a long time... There was more than one person holding my hands and I felt it.  <3 thank you.  Tonight as I go to sleep, I will be even more grateful to be spending if even just a little part of my day tomorrow with many caring people.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we say our prayers tonight, I reminded the children just how great you are.  In everything around us we see how wonderful you are.  May we all feel your grace tomorrow and have a sense of peace.  May those who knew and loved my mom find comfort that she is with her siblings and you, including, my sisters, my brother, my father and her brother and sisters.  Please keep Sister Helen, Sister Pat, Robin, Peggy, Bob and those who are in need of your healing hands in your embrace.
Amen
My mom (sitting) her mother in law and sister in law.... I am grateful to have the opportunity to get to know my aunt Lorraine...
