I deeply appreciate you taking the time to write as you did, and detail your feelings to me as you have. Means the world to me!! xoxo<br /><br />Actually there are times I think I am writing to outer space, and maybe I shouldn't post so often... as you have said, I really don't "know who (I am) encouraging today, but we (you) are there" ... This is such a timely and heartfelt reminder and encouragement to continue writing CB! I wonder how much, how deep, how detailed, etc I should share, but your post encourages me to continue to be REAL and write from the heart CB!

I want to share my dad's story to encourage you to keep on writing and encouraging all who read with your skills at making us feel like we are sitting in your kitchen with you having a conversation. My dad's health began to fade several years before he passed. For his family and friends that knew him long term, the last year of his life we watched as his health failed, sometimes daily. He had lost most of his sight so could not drive or read anymore, lost some hearing, and was in and out of the hospital on a regular basis. Once he died we had a memorial service for him and after the family shared their thoughts they opened up to anyone who wanted to share about my dad. One man came to the microphone who had only know my dad 1 year. The year the family and friends had seen his life deteriorate on almost daily. This man shared how my dad was such an inspiration to my dad and saw him on Sundays when my dad went to church. Needless to say he did not see my dad 52 times as he was not always able to be there. But the man shared that if he saw Stan in church in spite of his challenges, what excuse did he have to not be in church when he was healthy and had no excuses. He said knowing my dad made him a better person. That was quite a surprise but such a blessing to know my dad's life was still impacting people who were in his life. I say all this, Julie, because your blogs are so encouraging, uplifting, inspiring, because of your honesty and transparency. Thank you for continuing to bless all of us who read your story and share your life with us. You may not know who you are encouraging today, but we are there. Love you.CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239117639505408462noreply@blogger.com
