I ENJOY READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND THE STRENGTHS THAT GOT THEM  THROUGH  THE STORMS OF THEIR LIVES. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE LOSS OF MY SON AND MY MOTHER. THEIR HAVE BEEN FRIENDS THAT HAVE PASSED THAT I PLAYED WITH AS A CHILD. LIFE TAKES ON A DIFFERENT MEANING WHEN THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE IN YOUR LIFE GO BEFORE YOU. ITS ALMOST LIKE TRYING TO START OVER AND GIVE YOUR LIFE ANOTHER MEANING. MY FAITH, THAT I CAN REMEMBER AS FAR BACK HAS GOTTEN ME OVER THE STORMS IN MY LIFE. WITHOUT IT I COULD'NT EVEN MAKE IT.. JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO ANY AND EVERY PROBLEM.SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND. LIFE REALLY GOES BY IN SUCH A HURRY. NEXT THING YOU KNOW THE KIDS ARE ALL GROWN , THE NEST IS EMPTY. I'D LIKE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. HAD SOME REALLY NEAT TIMES WITH THE KIDS. THE FISHING HOLES, SWIMMING IN THE RIVER, GOING BIKE RIDING. I MISS MY BUDDIES. NOW THEIR KIDS ARE MY BUDDIES. THEY ARE SWEET AND I TOLD THEM THAT WE HAVE TO GO FISHING, RIDE BIKES, AND JUST KEEP IT GOING.
