I have recently joined your blog.....since you won the prize with that gorgeous quilt. I think perhaps God is bringing you some healing joy now - in the form of the 4 blessings you mentioned - to help your life pick up within. Two years from now you will speak and think of your husband without the sharp jab of pain that you feel all, and every day. Recently I read ''grief is but a whisper to the world, and a tumultuous clamour in my soul.'' Whoever wrote that has a perfect understanding of the solitary aloneness of grief. Heal quickly my fellow stitcher.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470266317061873826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621431637562254150.post-32126459816484605362012-12-03T16:40:26.458+11:002012-12-03T16:40:26.458+11:00Di, in catching up on your blog posts, I want to o...Di, in catching up on your blog posts, I want to offer you my sincerest sympathy at the loss of your dear husband.

Your eloquence in describing him reveals how little I knew about him, for he was surely a God-fearing, multi-faceted man. My heart breaks for you. No amount of condolences or platitudes can adequately convey my heartfelt sympathy and concern for you. Even though you have depended on Boak for countless large and small concerns, I believe you are a woman of great inner fortitude who will rebound from this devastation with strength provided by our glorious Lord God. I am certain He is your rock - the spine who will keep you standing during this trial. I am continually praying for you, dear friend. May God pour an overflowing measure of His love and grace into your precious spirit.
