Such a fortunate child to have such a loving and caring Mother.<br /><br />You understand what it means to lose someone dear, and how your life can change in an instant. You know not to take your dear one's for granted.

My son always calls me when he arrives home after visiting...I find that to be what loving and considerate family members do.<br />I am especially protective about our daughter because she was in a serious car accident at the age of 18. <br />I do believe once something "bad" happens, our defenses are always up more than before, because...as you alluded to...the innocence is gone. <br />You are not all that far away from the tragic loss of your husband and it really does sound like you are healing~~~<br />Your daughter is going to be so excited to get that hamster!

She probably wishes she could be inside, waiting for a reassuring call from her own daughter (Who may be way too independent to care about her Mom.) And of course you have these fears..how could you not experience the loss of your husband and be uneffected? There are creatures in the Harry Potter books, called "Thestrals". You can only see them if someone you have loved has died. I don't think your neighbor can see the Thestrals..or she refuses to see them. You, my dear, can see them. You have been through a huge change. I feel sorry for your neighbor. I love your Hamster and your daughter will too! What a loving, special relationship you have!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09739005074134785875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050534435351817229.post-75472058572152316282011-08-31T17:08:46.856+02:002011-08-31T17:08:46.856+02:00Thank you my dear Barby,

And I will wait by the phone too if she plans to call me. It is called loving your children and being a mother. If you were an overprotecting mom you would have told her not to go. Please don't feel bad for being the good mother that you are.Joanne@ Desertmountainbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441456428768214516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050534435351817229.post-49355324144310941532011-08-31T14:49:29.438+02:002011-08-31T14:49:29.438+02:00Carolyn, thank you for these heart warming comfort...Carolyn, thank you for these heart warming comforting words and your prayers, and yes this is what I learned, love the ones around you and smell each rose you'll come across.Helen Priemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711693053778159382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050534435351817229.post-3746489502963284332011-08-31T14:30:36.786+02:002011-08-31T14:30:36.786+02:00If anyone has a reason to question security, it...If anyone has a reason to question security, it's you! No one has the right to judge you or how you feel. <br /><br />I think feeling secure is grand, but sometimes we put too much stock into it. So much so that some of us forget to smell the roses. If we are so secure that tomorrow will come, soon we will put off things that we need to do, expecting to always have "tomorrow" to do them.<br /> <br />We are not promised tomorrow, and times will come when people we love will fade away. We need to stop feeling so secure and make time to love our families & friends to the fullest, and stop and smell each rose as it comes. <br /><br />For those of us who believe in God & Heaven, we can be secure in knowing that we will be reunited with our lost loved ones someday. That kind of security is what we can have with God. This keeps us from going through life in fear, but we never need to forget how much we need Him to get through this life.<br /><br />Prayers for your daughter's safe travel. I know she will be thrilled to open her little wool hamster. He is super cute! May her happiness reach across the miles and fill you with joy. <br /><br />Hugs!<br />~CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113466602714470004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050534435351817229.post-35041901938372116442011-08-31T12:03:29.601+02:002011-08-31T12:03:29.601+02:00Aaah Conni, Danke !
