Pat, I mourn with you for the losses and pray for bright new beginnings. I am not sure why so often it doesn’t just sprinkle but pours but I do know the way is made so much easier with faith, and loving support from people who care. Sending you huge hugs and prayers!

Bytera, thanks for taking the time and thought to respond. “Brutal” is a perfect description of the current life phase! You’re right, life ebbs and flows and sometimes we get stuck in a whirlpool and it takes time to swim out. Fortunately, I’m a very strong swimmer. It sounds like you may know a little about being strong yourself.

Clare, I am not usually attached to “things” but yesterday I cried more than I have at funerals. This car represented so much to me and I really did love it! So glad you understand and have felt it too.

Hi Pat, now I understand why are you working so hard. I’m sure you have the means to do what has to be done without lethargy and endure the current ‘brutal’ phase.
What we posess comes and goes, goes and come. Pay attention to whom you can be from now on. Do not let the past or things shrink your energy and soul, nor even for a minute. You are a Woman and a Mom, so that you are strong.

Wow, Pat, that story says so much about the significance we attach – rightly – to things. I feel very sad now. I’ve loved a few cars in my day.
