"When we ...Your post reminds me of this quote:<br />"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”<br />― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey <br /><br />You are being that person for your father, and it is a gift beyond price. Sending {hugs} to you & your family as you face this holiday without your mom's physical presence. Somehow, I feel certain that her spirit is close at hand, surrounding all of you with her love.Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-68746980530463847972012-11-13T17:25:17.107-08:002012-11-13T17:25:17.107-08:00Really, really touching and beautiful.
