This is for anyone who has lost a special part of their family - their pet. We lost Jake, our 13yr. old Siberian Husky yesterday, and the boys were especially devistated. I knew the time was near, but it was still hard. My stepmom gave my this site and I read the poem to the boys and it was very touching. RainbowsBridge.com Please read, it's really beautiful! KIM

Mary, I don't know how you could get him backstage to meet them, but there has to be a way. I think the Lord did as you said, he put this song before you to help you with your grief. When my mom passed MercyME had just come out with another CD and I bought it. The first song I saw and listened to was Homesick. The first time I heard it I cried like a baby. It's lyrics were every single feeling I was having over my mom's death and it helped me to let the pain out, but it also reminded me that there really are no good byes; we'll all be together again when it's our turn to go home. I still cry when I here that song, but it also makes me feel closer to her and to the Lord. God Bless you Mary, and your son. I hope that you find the comfort in your song that I did in mine. KIM

I would just like to ask for prayers for my sister, Cindy. She has been having health issues since she had her baby girl Catie back in July 06. She had a pleural effusion drained(almost 1 liter of fluid) off her left lung and is still having lots of pain. All the tests came back okay on the fluid, but still having pain. She is going to have a bronchoscopy done March 20th in Evansville. I want them to figure this out, but I pray at the same time they don't find anything during the bronch. I just ask that you all pray for her and that we find an answer that is non-life threatening. Thank you all, Kim

I don't think it's weird but I like my corn right on top of my mashed potatoes. My brother though eats mustard on corn.

I feel for you hon. I remember that time and all I can say is that you will get on with your life eventually and that the pain doesn't go away completely, but for me, it became a shadow in my heart that pops up on sunny days or when a certain song is playing on the radio not only to remind me that my mom is gone, but to let me feel how much I loved her and how much she loved me. Sometimes it is so overpowering, and other times it's but a whisper in the wind. It never gets easier, just different. I hope that you find peace in your heart and contentment in the memories. Above all, give yourself time. Everyone heals differently and deals with grief in their own way and time. Please know that we are here for you. Kim

I just can't believe she did that even after you asked her not to! Going thru mom's stuff was something us 3 girls did together and she should have waited for you. My mom has been gone 2 yrs. and I still have a bag of her clothes that I just can't get rid of. There were memories there and she shouldn't have thrown them away.

Thank you everyone SO much for your help. My brother thinks we are making to be a stink out of this, but then he calls her "mom".(Whole other issue for me that I won't go into.) I think I'll approach him with the how does he think she will feel getting something of my mom's question. Thanks guys, I feel better already! I know he's not doing it to hurt our feelings, he just probably hasn't thought of it the way we do.

Mom has been gone for 2 years now, Dad has been remarried for 1yr. Dad had 2 wedding bands from his and mom's marriage; a silver engraved band and a gold and diamond band they bought a few years before mom got sick. Dad wants to take some of the diamonds out of the second band and have a piece of jewelry made for my step-mom with it. This has REALLY upset my sister Cindy and I'm somewhat upset too! That was from his marriage with MY mom, why would he give of that to her? Part of me says oh well, it's his, what can I do? Or, should I tell him how I feel. I don't think my stepmom knows about it. I just think it would be in bad taste and, well, disrespectful to my mom who loved him and put up with a lot of crap over the years! My brother thinks we're overreacting. What do you all think?

Well, I have never wanted to change my name. When my sister and I were born mom couldn't think of 2 names so, she let each of our grandmothers name us hence, Kimberly and Cynthia. Everyone used to ask why they didn't rhyme and that is why. but, my mom used to put us to bed when we were babies and get up the next morning and realize she put us in the wrong beds, we REALLY looked alike then, so I guess if she didn't realize the mistake one day, I could actually be "Cindy" instead of "Kim"! Who knows!!
