I'm so glad I did... I too had a Bob in my life and I think too of how much watching his life has helped shape mine. Pat and I are VERY DEEPLY involved in heavy duty individual and couple counseling. Some amazing stories of God's redemptive work are coming out of it. Thanks for helping me relook at some of those 2 year ago adventures. At 67 I'm still working at figuring myself out. You are a dear!!

...Yesterday was two months for me AND my birthday.<br /><br />I think often of this quote,<br />"Grief is perhaps an unknown territory for you. You might feel both helpless and hopeless without a sense of a "map" for the journey. Confusion is the hallmark of a transition. To rebuild both your inner and outer world is a major project." --Anne Grant<br /><br />It makes sense to me that grieving would be a messy process and it seems you are grieving many things, Beth.<br /><br />Blessings on you as you continue walking this road. Watching you walk it from a distance has been, is, a blessing and encouragement to me.anniehttp://www.newliferising.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335087494258260106.post-73259536881805475322012-02-08T20:15:08.708-05:002012-02-08T20:15:08.708-05:00I am so glad you wrote this post and saved me from...I am so glad you wrote this post and saved me from the embarrassment of getting the dates wrong. I was going to write a post tomorrow b/c I thought Bob had left us on the 9th. I don't know how I had it wrong, but--come to think of it--I don't know anyone's departure date, off hand. Anyway, I miss him, too. I miss him more than I ever guessed I might. But I carry him w/ me every day, and--like so many others--I try to honor him by living out at least some of what he taught me. We were so blessed to have that time w/ him, and--when I say "that time"--I mean to share that specific time in his life. He was so great and so strong in the Lord that it's hard to believe he wasn't always the person we knew him to be. If he were reading your post, he would say: "Beth, you are more beautiful than ever. Don't look back. Don't long for what is behind you: be glad for where you are, and look forward to what's ahead. Because it's only going to get better, and you're only going to become better and more beloved." He loved you so much. He waits for you and for an entire community of people who were his family in the Lord. <br /><br />I love you, too.Brandee Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960175760263515363noreply@blogger.com
