Pigeon Falls was a lot of fun, as were the dragons, but I participated in the word games only once or twice. I was especially blessed by his Sunday posts. <br /><br />A lot of us out here are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Your words help make Dr. John even more real to us.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114194992905851242.post-27783296223138361532010-03-05T20:05:05.446-08:002010-03-05T20:05:05.446-08:00I'm praying for you as you grieve and face the...I'm praying for you as you grieve and face the challenges, and heal.

I...I am very grateful that you shared this with us. It is good to read your words. I understand very much what he went through for it sounds like the last 7 yrs of my dad..he was not to last not even 3 and yes they were very hard but it was extra time, God given time to make some connections, firm some relations and make amends to others. And with those extra yrs, he got to see most of his grandkids grow and he delighted in them...the time was not even close enough for me but yes he did suffer much physically over them and so did Dr. John...through your pain and sorrow, u can see clearly all God has given u and urs and u r grateful and happy for the gift as i'm for i too got in the bonus time. it was amazing to know him and to meet u all and i hope he knows that and u know it too. my mom still misses him like crazy but it also aforded her some freedom from the nursing that gave her rest. i hope that doesn't sound as bad as it might if taken wrong...rest now child, beautiful and wonderful wife who loved him and cared for him so much......love u all very much. xoLouisianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900993153579044870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114194992905851242.post-60043578209335545152010-03-03T20:18:42.868-08:002010-03-03T20:18:42.868-08:00I don't think he ever felt well the last eight...I don't think he ever felt well the last eight years and that is a long time to not feel well. <br /><br />I know whatever you do now, he is with you watching over you.

Coping with the loss of a loved one is difficult under any circumstances -for sure -and it's more than understandable that you would have your times as you put it -feel sorry for yourself episodes. But the fact you are moving on, keeping things going with/through your faith -so important to the healing process. The loss factor never disappears -not completely -but the rawness does eventually tone down and allows the good memories to move in. But I'm pretty sure you're well aware of that however, a tad of reinforcement never hurts, does it?Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114194992905851242.post-77998489343996929122010-03-03T05:47:10.602-08:002010-03-03T05:47:10.602-08:00I knew that you would do okay.

You WERE blessed with those additional years - and you and he both KNEW it. I was blessed by those extra years too... as were ALL of his blogging friends! Without those years, WE would have never known him. God's work is perfect. All the time. I am so glad to hear that you are getting out, and while I knew you would get more involved in the church, I'm glad to hear it is happening. <br /><br />Betty, I don't have your email addy... I only have his.
