I don't always feel like I matter to my spouse, but I know I matter to God. Thank you for reminding me of that. <br /><br />I hope your mother and Jim both the best and will put them in my own prayers tonight.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03360204334481986439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-71470922824397044062009-05-19T01:21:00.000-05:002009-05-19T01:21:00.000-05:00Jenna

This weekend the neighbor girl I used to babysit called me from the county's mental health facility under a 72 hour hold. (I friended her on facebook a month or 2 ago, but have had no real contact with her for years.) Originally, I thought we'd be meeting for lunch later this week after she got out and I have really been searching/exploring/thinking about the best way to be a friend when one is "called" to be a friend. This is where I've found your post absolutely beautiful and poignant. Found out today that her stay has been extended to a 14 day hold. I think she is bipolar and in alot of denial and has strained relationships with her family. I figure that if my child was in a psych ward having troubles and had totally shut me out, I'd appreciate any and all postive influences and encouraging words....<br />again...thank you for your post!holly whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330225563028611599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-82992809555545466452009-05-18T20:09:00.000-05:002009-05-18T20:09:00.000-05:00All I can say is thank you for this post.

And, I'm sure you are absolutely fantastic mother. You have to be, based on your posts -- I wouldn't expect anything less. I hope your kids realize how lucky they are! Or, if they don't now, that they will when they are older.<br /><br />Best wishes to both your mom and to Jim. My husband's mother passed away from pancreatic cancer. It's a horrible, horrible disease.

Knee surgery is tough and it is easy to get discouraged especially if she is in a nursing home (my grandma had to recover in a nursing home and it was so depressing for her) I loved your photos. I am new in my walk as far as trying to read the Bible (trying being the key word!)
