My wedding was a beautiful moment but there have been many other so-called "lesser things" that have been defining moments in my life; some good, some not so good. But the fact that you weave these points in time together and make your life what it is, is the important part. We're all made up of good and bad experiences. Hopefully we can learn from both and move ahead with wisdom and the desire to keep growing into ourselves.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369077646106761670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-50557490799804717942009-07-28T20:59:24.204-07:002009-07-28T20:59:24.204-07:00In the middle of one.In the middle of one.Jody Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822023313529125586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-62412009661554329542009-07-28T17:31:19.177-07:002009-07-28T17:31:19.177-07:00Wow!

I ha...Terrific pictures. (You look like your mom.)<br /><br />I have to applaud you for falling apart and picking up the pieces. So many don't know how. You are younger than my parents, but close enough to be in the same generation. That generation denies, doesn't pick up pieces. My mom fell apart and never got back together. She held it together for so long that when she cracked, there were not the pieces left to pick up. She still wasn't willing to face it all, and her peers were not supportive, but told her to get over it. She died from that process. Nothing else. Just that. I don't blame her; she had no upbringing, and she protected her children from all the demons in her from her mom that were never exorcised. But I wish she'd have handled it like you. She was cut out to live a long, LONG time, but didn't. Your kids and your farmer are lucky.<br /><br />The best days of my life are quiet ones with family. Sometimes just the kids and me and sometimes all of us. Since we moved here and I'm a stay-at-home mom, there are more than there used to be. Often I'm with my girls and just overwhelmed with the happiness of my fortunate life.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-33819803004920552182009-07-28T10:52:47.350-07:002009-07-28T10:52:47.350-07:00For me it was when my son almost died and then 6mo...For me it was when my son almost died and then 6months later, I wanted to.

I guess the typical wedding, births, etc. are important but they are not nearly as important as the connecting moments. The moment I heard my Dad say "I hear beautiful music" just before he left with the angels singing that music. The moment my Mom saw Daddy when he came back to get her and she asked him, "Where is Jesus?" The times my children say, "thank you Mama" for whatever because in their own parenthood they recognize the value of their own parents. The moments when my husband looks into my eyes and says, "let's....go to a movie." or whatever. Because it's the whatevers that we do together that are the connecting moments...the watershed moments. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.com
