I just felt like talking to you - I won't pretend to know what you feel or how you hurt - just wanted you to know I read this post:<BR/><BR/>I can only imagine that sharing about the death of one of your sweet boys is painful. I do think that the more we talk about the "real stuff" the more we can heal. I also think that even though He owes us no explanation, God can handle our anger because He knows it is really just a mask for grief/a loss of something incredibly important to us.<BR/><BR/>And to end on a funny note - #4 cracked me up!! My parents do this :) I myself am so starved for interaction, I jump at the phone hoping someone wants to talk to me -pathetic I know!!<BR/><BR/>~ AnneJman's mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283726369990749431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919849588931197057.post-21406949201441124632008-07-14T20:10:00.000-04:002008-07-14T20:10:00.000-04:00Erinn, that was an absolutely beautiful post.

I struggle with being real also in that I like to appear that I have it all together when on the inside I am screaming due to exhaustion of trying to do it all. Sharing all of this from the heart took courage which is definitely the first step in keeping it real. You are a beautiful person and don't worry we will still keep you around if you start telling us how it is!! Love ya!!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780852666558379943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919849588931197057.post-63862586643951174432008-07-14T07:15:00.000-04:002008-07-14T07:15:00.000-04:00I can't comment on much of what you said about bei...I can't comment on much of what you said about being REAL, but I can tell you as your friend that you are a Great Friend. Its been 14 years now, and you are still there. I do realize that in the past 2 1/2 yrs you have struggled, and I hope you know I am here just to listen even when I can't hug or be there physically to help you. I am here and will listen when you need. Thank you for being so REAL and showing your heart. <BR/>Love you and pray that you would find peace.Gilpatriclifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321065732879587858noreply@blogger.com
