Have you ever had someone to do something for you that humbled you , something that left you speechless and in tears , a thought so sweet that you really have no words to describe how it has touched your heart ?
Through the losses that my family has suffered I have recieved numerous phone calls of sympathy , many prayers and there have been plenty of shoulders for me to shed my tears on but something arrived in the mail today that has just completely humbled me . As I sit here typing this I have tears streaming down my face at this persons thoughtfulness . It might not seem like a huge gesture to anyone other than myself , but huge it is . I am overwhelmed with emotion right now and I really don't have words to tell you exactly what I am feeling .
So what came in the mail today you ask ? It was a sympathy card and the thing that has humbled me the most is the fact that I have never met this person face to face . I don't think we have ever even chatted on Yahoo other than in Trivia . Other than that ,we have talked through the comments section on various blogs and we have emailed back and forth a few times . I am not going to mention this persons name as of yet because I don't know if she would want me to but I will tell you this , she has touched my heart in a way that no other person ever has . I will tell you what the inscription on the card said but I am going to keep the handwritten part to myself . The inscription reads " May He bless and guide you through this difficult time." Wow , that is a very powerful statement if you ask me .
So the purpose of this post is to say thank you, to the sender ,for the card , the prayers and the thoughtfulness that was behind it . Also I wanted to let everybody know that there are still some really good people out there . My husband has always been kinda iffy about me talking to others online and letting them in my life a little but this morning when that card arrived , even he had a tear in his eye because someone that I have never met , other than online , was so thoughtful . So , once again , thank you from the bottom of my heart ! If any of you ever know that someone is going through or dealing with a difficult situation and you think about sending an email or a card , do it because it could make a difference . Y'all have a wonderful weekend , I know I will !

This is really a great thing to read. Thanks for sharing something inspirational. :-) My hubb-z to is very cautious about this whole internet chatting and even my blog. I seem to have to remind him I am an adult. :-) He still reminds me of all the horror stories about the net and folks. I just smile and say yes father and gee thanks dad *LOL*. Gets him everytime. *giggles*
Very inspirational post, Breazy. I hope you and your family are having a good weekend.
Hi Breazy, I am sorry to hear about your recent loss. To that end I provide the following parable...
***
I stand upon the seashore. A ship spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and heads out across the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand to watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud on the horizon, just where the sea and sky meet to mingle with each other. At my side someone says, "There, she is gone."
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large in mast and spar and hull as when she sailed close by, and just as able to bare her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in my vision alone. At that moment when someone at my side says, "There, she is gone," other eyes watch her coming -- and other voices take up the glad shout... "There, here she comes!"
And that is dying.
awww dangit, now I am the one with a tear in my eye! that was really touching breazy, thank you.
