Guilty because they are relieved that their loved one has passed. I hope your family can see that she is through suffering and can take some solace in that.<BR/><BR/>Prayers for you all.Nichole Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019214170505205626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574766998157088542.post-72375902475120669062009-02-19T07:32:00.000-05:002009-02-19T07:32:00.000-05:00Thanks sis.Thanks sis.Ted Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194317104263591515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574766998157088542.post-57820917652749769462009-02-18T23:25:00.000-05:002009-02-18T23:25:00.000-05:00:hygs::hygs:Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662266315215108085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574766998157088542.post-44696384215237180062009-02-18T22:45:00.000-05:002009-02-18T22:45:00.000-05:00Thanks, Sarah.

I regret at the time not letting out a lot of the things I felt and feeling like i had to be the one to bear weight becasue my mother was such a wreck when her mother passed away.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Yes, I made it the whole time and didn't make a joke. <BR/><BR/>Keep your chin up Ted.

Thanks for calling tonight. I...Strange week, bro. Thanks for calling tonight. It's been real tough on Amanda and her family. Totally different feeling than with Granny. You know, it was a sad release in Granny's case...she'd been gone for so long, like you said. With Amanda's aunt...different story, and they're all taking it real hard. <BR/><BR/>I've been thinking a lot about it this week, and it's tough, no matter how you slice it. Yeah, they're home now. Yeah, they're whole and healthy, new and complete. <BR/><BR/>But we're not. We're left here, and somethings missing. <BR/><BR/>That's the hard part. But I know in Whom my hope lies. And that's where it'll remain. Death is beaten, that much is certain. But it sucks to live in between the defeat of death on Calvary, and the abolition of death itself. <BR/><BR/>Until then...<BR/><BR/>Love ya bro.

Just as the playoffs were about to begin, go figure right. He was really gone probably about the same time as your grandmother was. I think at one point, he just assumed that I was his grandkid because I was always at their family events since my grandparents died when I was.<BR/><BR/>This is why baseball is such a fun game, it keeps your mind off the bad stuff like this for about 3 or 7 hours of the day, depends who we're playing! Sorry, bad pun while trying to make you laugh. Hope my bad college humor isn't too bad!<BR/><BR/>Heart goes out to you!
