Happy New Year

Hi all - Happy 2007. Last night we had a calendar burning party. 2006 was such a horrible year starting right off in January. Then in March my father passed away, had some problems with my eldest daughter and then ended off the year with my 13 year old grandson passing away due to complications from a car accident. Burning the calendar felt good although today is just another day and I dont feel any better by burning it. Life goes on I know but I am having a very hard time understanding how God can take away a young boy's life. I know that children get sick and die all the time but I still have a hard time understanding it. I also wonder if the hurt will ever go away. I am hurting for my daughter, I am hurting for my son in law and am hurting for myself and I just hate it!!! I am questioning my faith in God and that is something I have never done in my life. I know there is a God but when I am down I question. When I am up - well I know better.
Anyhow - like I said, Happy 2007. I welcome hearing from anyone who wants to chat...I am all "eyes"...

Cathi, my dear friend. How I wish I lived closer to you so I could give you a big hug, and cry with you and listen to you talk about Cody. I don't get tired of you talking of him. I don't yet have any grandchildren, but I think I know what you are going through. My biggest fear is losing one of my 3 sons. I know I would be immobilized with grief. I cannot even imagine how I would go on. You just do and say whatever you need to, my friend. Nobody can tell you the proper way for you to deal with this tragedy. The way you deal with it is the right way for you. The way someone else deals with it is the right way for them. Grief is a deeply personal emotion, and your grief and how you handle it belongs to you alone.
love you, girlfriend.
