I am always fearful when they are not in professional care that they will not focus on how much they are loved and how much good they have to do. A close friend of mine was very recently given a second chance and I pray everyday that he sees his worth and how much he is loved. <br />I am so sorry for your loss. It is a terrible disease.<br />Hugs to you sweet friend.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015465399522119152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300781810316227275.post-39287625516538977402009-05-26T01:52:36.116-07:002009-05-26T01:52:36.116-07:00Oh Missy,

You have been through so much and care so deeply for those in your life. It makes you a very special person. <br /> I love that your Dad is still showing you all hearts and that you can still see them and take comfort in them says so much about you! <br /> I'm sorrier than I can say about your friend. There are no words. I also love that Paige, that sweet, sweet girl, could see that heaven was opening it's doors. I am sure she is right! <br /> Sending you lots of hugs and prayers.<br />Heatherrgshrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797631265401557222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300781810316227275.post-46650547024315730272009-05-24T05:34:41.240-07:002009-05-24T05:34:41.240-07:00I just want to reach through the lines and give yo...I just want to reach through the lines and give you a huge embracing hug.I am so sorry your working your way through your friend's loss..<br />I love how your Dad is letting you know he is in your heart, it's so beautiful.kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911408157537598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300781810316227275.post-5998421015984963312009-05-23T19:12:16.283-07:002009-05-23T19:12:16.283-07:00Missy......dear sweet Missy.
