wow. tough week or so, girlfriend. i think part of what’s so hard is that each loss deserves its own time of honoring, its own process. someone who’s been so important in our lives leaves a big hole. the fact that the hole is there is a testament to the degree of their impact and significance, and each one deserves their own space to be remembered, to be honored, to be mourned. the depth of our sense of loss speaks to how much they meant to us, how much they contributed to the world while they were here. but it also makes it hard for us. take the time you need to work through that, to be sad, to be grateful, to remember.

my prayers are with you!

I’ve had a lot of bad news this week, too. Not death, but divorces and cancer diagnoses and bad things happening to good friends. So I’m hanging in there with you, Serenity. And praying.

I love your writing – please don’t stay gone too long.

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request FOR YOU ALL WITH JOY, for your fellowship in the gospe from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the dayof Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I HAVE YOU IN MY HEART…………”

I thank you for reminding me of this verse which makes me think of the entire Nickerson family and what they mean to we Cerretti’s
Thank you Serenity

I would try to write something eloquent, but I can’t do it through the tears. I’m sitting in my hotel at the K.C. writer’s conference. To get to and from the conference site, I drive past Menorah Medical Center. Each time, I blow kisses toward the building and thank God for the skill of Dr. Rosenthal and for the prayers of the saints and for miracles. I thank Him for you and for Jake and for life in general.

Add all that to celebrating Claire’s birthday this week, and I’m a pretty big pile of mush :)
Love,
Mom

This past summer was full of dying over here too, but the sadness doesn’t last forever. I’m praying for you, lovely Serenity!

Dear Universe,
I would like to send this little message out today: I think Serenity is one of the most precious women I know. I love how deeply she thinks and feels about people, her family, friends, and all of life’s big and little moments! And I’m especially grateful that she’s here, living life and causing us to consider and appreciate life and it’s meaning!

I love you, Seren and I too, am praying for you!

I saw my name in print! well thats a happy place for me. And one I definitely needed this week as well. A lot of sighing going on with me these last few days. All I can say are the words I believe all of your readers would say to their friends or loved ones that go through a loss. “I’m praying for you”.

And I am. For my friend, for you, and for everyone’s perspective that comes to a screeching halt when this happens.

Oh. And I LOVE this blog.

Felic, I would be a natural at that. I mean, those are the first words in my sentences to STRANGERS. And I was thinking of that book today! I can’t wait to write that book. You people are all so dear (as my wonderful grandmother says). Thank you for the prayers.
