Grief is definitely a journey. I think every single person goes through all of the steps, but seldom in the same order as someone else also grieving. It's definitely a journey, that's for sure. Not a fun one either.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had a rootbeer float - those are so yummy. Nothing like food or retail therapy to cheer someone, eh?<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking of you.<BR/><BR/>HUGE HUGSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36807787.post-2669266792543213892007-09-12T20:43:00.000-07:002007-09-12T20:43:00.000-07:00You can't doubt the healing powers of ice cream an...You can't doubt the healing powers of ice cream and root beer. There are allllllll sorts of cliches running around in my head, but really they don't help much. So just keep the ice cream and root beer handy, stock up on the tissues, and know that it will be ok someday. Maybe not today, not tomorrow, but someday you won't cry at the cartoons your children are watching....;) <BR/><BR/>Until then, I'll join the fabulous group of ladies you have gathering around you to say you are great and can do this! My eyes and ears are here for you should you need them.<BR/><BR/>(Thank or blame Kelly for all my words here ;)3 Beautieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287333921495952133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36807787.post-75702875839778767482007-09-12T19:51:00.000-07:002007-09-12T19:51:00.000-07:00Today when we got home from visiting my Grandfathe...Today when we got home from visiting my Grandfather, I told the furkids that we were going bye-bye, they hopped in the car with me, and we went to the local ice cream parlor and got vanilla ice cream cones.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I've ever seen two dogs so happy before in my life.<BR/><BR/>I suppose I am trying to be more like them. Live in the moment, not dwell on the past or worry about the future because there is nothing I can do to change it. There is only here, and now, and my actions, my choices, my deeds.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure it's the right path, but the dogs seem happy. :)<BR/><BR/>Thinking of You.Katiefucioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355184743979536937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36807787.post-39297482783443906182007-09-12T17:40:00.000-07:002007-09-12T17:40:00.000-07:00I agree with Mrs. Melissa.

I hope this doesn't sound morbid, but I think you haven't really lived if you haven't experienced heartbreak. I mean, BOY DOES IT SUCK! And there is NO WAY I would recommend it or go looking for more, but you know, heart break makes you love more. Just think how you reached out to me when the "Coward" (as I like to call him) broke it off with me. :) I felt so loved, and I knew you understood because you had been there. And for me... it made my heart hurt a bit less because I knew there are others out there who love me.<BR/><BR/>So Karianne-- I love you, girlfriend! And your hubby and munchkins ADORE you! That doesn't make the heartbreak go away, but it does bring joy to remember and celebrate that. <BR/><BR/>I hope I made sense. ;)KrayonKelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576329722928716423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36807787.post-56625057767499058932007-09-12T15:26:00.000-07:002007-09-12T15:26:00.000-07:00I had something really profound to say after readi...I had something really profound to say after reading this....and then Ella interrupted me with a chorus of "mommymommymommymommymommymommymommy" getting progressively louder. And I forgot. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you have your sibs to talk to---it sounds like they're looking out for you. <BR/><BR/>The fact that you CAN find joy in a Root Beer float seems like a really good sign to me. NOt that things aren't going to be hard to muddle through and deal with, but that deep down, your light is still there! <BR/><BR/>LOve to you----lets get a date set to "do lunch"...K?<BR/><BR/>(was it with A&W rb??? that's my fav!)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256335053622259955noreply@blogger.com
