Goatwiskers,
You are in my prayers. Hang on, and take comfort in the love of our lord and know that he will never give you more than you can take.

"If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew/ To serve your turn long after they are gone,/And so hold on when there is nothing in you/Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'" —Rudyard Kipling,

Wag, you want funny, how about the time in one of the labs out at the vet school I was supposed to remove an ovary from a rat. Just as I made the first cut she made a sudden sharp intake of breath which made me jump. Needless to say I gutted the darn rat like a fish. GW

I'm hoping you can keep that sense of humor. Nevertheless, there are still going to be times when something is going to break you up. Yesterday, I was watching a movie and it was bad enough, I couldn't even see the screen. I can't really explain it because it would take too many words.

By the same token, I love telling the funny stories about times we had. While it doesn't seem to be curative in an overall sense, there is, at least, a temporary relief and an enjoyment through reliving those moments.

I just take it day by day. It's all I can do.

--Wag--

My 34 year old daughter took her own life October 29th 2020. Some holes just don't fill in, they leave scars, they leave so many questions. If we turn to God he does heal, but the scar is still there. God sees me through the bad days. I pray his blessings on you!

Thunder, words cannot express my sadness for you. My own son has struggled with depression, and this is my greatest fear. May God's Grace continue to comfort you through what must be the most unimaginable pain. I struggle with faith at times, and your faith guiding you through the toughest of times is an inspiration.
