Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi All...I am SO thankful and happy and grateful that our beloved Debs is recovering and remembering & reconnecting with her famiy. But, I have to confess something...I feel very sad that she doesn't remember us right now. I know her recovery is going to take a multitude of steps...I know it's going to be a journey and to be exceedingly grateful for every step forward she makes. What hurts, is if she doesn't remember us, does she remember our love? Does she know that there is an ocean of love for her from all over the world, wherever we are? I have GOT to believe that somehow the Lord blesses her spirit with all the love we have for her, and that our never giving up on prayer for Debs is a powerful thing. I know love transcends our human limitations. Maybe the sadness is because in so many ways she has been inaccesible for so long...now that she is coming back, the missing of her, her vibrancy, her loving-kindness, her everything, is so much more real...like being so glad to see someone you love through a glass wall, but being sad that you aren't able to reach through and touch their hand. Just had to get that off my chest. I love you all dearly... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi Tess, I share your feelings of sadness that our beloved Deb doesn't remember us right now. I do feel, though, that she will come to remember us again soon. Or at least that is my fondest desire. I think in her soul she still can feel our love, even if she doesn't consciously understand whom the source of that love is. Of course our prayer has powerfully blessed Deb! Look at how well she's doing! It truly is miraculous how fast she's recovered from being so very sick in the ICU. I'm so grateful that our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Things were scary there for awhile. How are you feeling, Tess? Are you doing any better? Sending lots of love and ((((((((((((gentle hugs)))))))))))), Carol [ ] please don't throw rotten tomatoes at me : ( Hi All...I am SO thankful and happy and grateful that our beloved Debs is recovering and remembering & reconnecting with her famiy.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 No tomatoes for you, Tess! I understand what you are feeling about Debs. It's hard to imagine and difficult to accept everything that has happened. Maybe, with time, she will remember. If not, and if she returns to the group, we can make new memories. Maybe she can feel or sense the love even if she can't specifically remember who was and is sending it. I believe love and prayer directed toward an individual, regardless of whether the recipient is aware, is always a positive thing. I miss her, too.
