PLEASE LISTEN TO EACH SONG...FOR IT IS IN MEMORY OF LINDA. SINCE I FELT SO HELPLESS A WEEK AGO TO THE DAY SHE WAS GONE. I HURT SO DEEPLY FOR I LOST SO MUCH. THIS IS A WAY TO SAY GOODBYE TO A LOVE ONE AND IN DOING SO.....I CAN STOP THE TEARS OF MISSING HER FOR I KNOW WHERE SHE IS......AND SHE IS NOT ALONE ANYMORE. I LOVED HER AND I SHALL MISS HER, THANK YOU GOD FOR LETTING ME HAVE THOSE YEARS I SHARED WITH HER AS A CHILD AND THE YEARS WE SHARED AS GROWN-UPS RE-LIVING OUR CHILDHOOD.

Remembering our childhood...

My baby doll still wears "your baby clothes"

My daddy loved your mom and dad

now they are all together...with you

The phone will ring....but it will not be you

I wish I had the phone number to Heaven

All people grieve differently.....sharing the life of a love one helps

All people grieve differently and for me grieving is not one of my best attributes. I sit and I think, I remember and I cry. So after days of crying, I stopped thinking and an over whelming sadness came over my face. I just wanted to go to bed and stay there. I lost something no one will understand and it can't replace. I lost my best friend and confident a piece of my family. So I started a blog to say goodbye and she will never be forgotten.

Why the Blog? it's my way of saying goodbye

Debbietheothermother: For six years I called and comforted a preacher’s widow my cousin Linda . Day after day I walked her thru the memories of her youth over the phone. It was there in the past where we grew up and there were we shared the mysteries of our childhood. She watch her husband die a slow death with a smile on his face, for he knew where he was going. She moved to be near her mother after loosing her brother and husband in the same month. Soon her mother died and she was left with her sister in law, both grieving widows found comfort in each other. Then one day she dies as well. Linda, now alone and lonely filling empty, has to fulfill the wishes of her dead sister-in-law. Even in her own death the job was yet unfinished. Linda would do anything to please everyone, she was quite, sweet and soft spoken. I loved her and told her everyday over the phone. We spend time together everyday, shared gifts and much laughter, we shared many tears together and bonded. Love hurts when it comes to an end…specially when you loose and very dear friend,
