Re: A comforting thought to wake up to

I can so relate to have a really great childhood with good parents and grandparents close by, brother and sister that we all got along. Even the aviation part as my dad was an ATC and he would do little air shows back in the day and take us. I didn't appreciate what I had until I was older and found out other kids didn't have it as good.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Here is my good thought everyday I wake to....

God is sovereign and HE is in control ( despite what the outside world thinks or does

That is my comfort!!

I really get this, i miss so many,the way life was with them,sometimes i think of them like they are still here, i often go back to when i was a child,other times when my husband was here,and son.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

I'm shallow, i wake up and think "thank goodness, the AC is still working".

i do my sentimental thinking all during the day....

For a few weeks, as soon as I wake up and before my eyes are even open I think to myself I wonder if Mom is up yet, if Dad home or is on a flight, and is my brother home ( apparently this was the time in my life when my brother would stay out all night knowing he was going to be in all kinds of trouble when he got home). Then my eyes open and I realized it's not the late 1970s, but for that fleeting moment I'm home with my parents and the feeling is so comforting. It takes nothing away from my marriage and my husband but I'd give anything to have my mom and my brother back again and my dad to be the dad I grew up with.

I was recently diagnosed with a terminal disease and talk to my parents all the time. Dad died 18 months ago just a couple weeks shy of age 92. Mom died almost 8 yrs ago. I miss them so much and would give anything if they were here for even an hour now.

I hardly know what to say. I'm so sorry doesn't seem adequate. My heart goes out to you. My prayers are for peace of mind, knowing you can live in perfect health for eternity. Bless you and your family. I totally understand how you would be thinking of your parents more at this time in your life. When I faced a triple bypass a year and a half ago, I wondered how I was supposed to get thru it without mom and dad. Dad is still here but not in the mental capacity he used to be. There is something about a mother's love and touch and prayer that no other can even come close to. It's still a shock to know I'll never have that again Thank you for trusting us with this devastating news. I hope you have a good support group to lean on.
