You have a beautiful way with words and your thoughts are awesome and healing. I appreciate your peaceful mind. You're a blessing.

Last year, my cousin was on his way to say good bye to my uncle, his father, who was dying, when he suddenly started screaming and clutching his stomach. His wife had to take over the driving and find the nearest hospital. It was pancreatis (sp) so they put him in a drug induced coma, trying to heal him. My uncle was supposed to die within days but for some reason hung on for five more months. They both died in the same week. How my aunt got through this is beyond me. Losing her husband and son in the same week. 1200 people came to my cousin's funeral. Unbelievable. He was so well loved. And 500 came to my uncle's funeral. It seemed to help the entire family knowing they had made an impact on so many people.
