Like CC mentioned above. It has been a heavy week. There are so many here that are hurting or grieving and discouraged. I want you to know that each of you is not only in my prayers, but that your names (posting names) are written in my prayer journal and I pray for us all daily.
I wanted to share this song for all of us (yes me too!), because the words are words that are on my own heart as I think of our Board family here. I sincerely pray that is brings encouragement and hope to someone.
Is it o.k. with you all if I dedicate it especially to a few people here? CC, Dana, Me Me, Denim, Kat, Lisa P., Romy, Traci ( I hope you're peeking in) The Doolie who is getting divorced, and anyone else I missed who is especially hurting.

Thank you MissPM. You do not know how much that is needed here. I know it is not problems like others are having. But right now, there is so much stress! And things are snowballing right now. I am not sure what direction things are going. Thanks for remembering us.
My love to and prayers for all of those that have been mentioned in this thread. I know this is going to be a hard for mothers that have children who have passed away and for children that have mothers which have gone on before.
But yet still, it is a day of celebration. If it were not for our mothers, we would not be here.
And for those that have no realationship with their mothers, just remember, they did give you on precious gift in this life, if nothing else, they did give you one gift.......Birth. They allowed you to be born and gave you life.

Message: Thanks misspm.......... I'm in a hurry, so I just peeked. When the song started, I knew I was going to cry, so I quit! I have to be somewhere soon, so I'll watch it later. Thanks for thinking of me. I'll be praying for everyone here too.

Misspm, Could you add my family to your prayers, too? My husband had open heart surgery two weeks ago. The recovery is slow and he may be getting discouraged. In the midst of this, I had poisin ivy on my face and now I have shingles. They are minor, to be sure, but extra annoyances just the same. Our son is 13 and just going through teenage angst. Thank you.

Message: I felt comforted the minute I saw that I was in your prayer journel!! It has been a heavy week for so many here on the board. On top of MacMac passing and feeling that loss.....a friend I've known since Jr.High hung himself. My heart is breaking for his daughter and his Dad. We also went to visit Stephan the 17 yr. old w/ osi__? sarcoma. He is very down and it is a fact his leg and part of his pelvis will have to be amputated. That may not even save him. We spent Wed. there and at one point I was so overwhelmed w/emotion that I went outside and mowed both the front and back lawns. It was the only thing I could think of to help in some small way. Please add Stephan to your prayer journal. Thanks misspm. TDQ xo

Oh misspm, you are so sweet...........Ironically, I am feeling terrible tonight. My Mother-in-law is dying, it is just a matter of time,,probably this weekend, if she even lasts till mothers day. She has been in and out of the hospital and nursing home since before the holidays. She is 89 and has had a good life and is ready to meet God, but it is still hard for the family. My husband and his brother and sisters are exhausted from the long vigil. I hope God takes her soon. It has been a sad week for us all too with the news of MacMac. Thank you for the prayers,,,,,,,,,,I guess we all could use them right now.............Barb from new England
