And for sharing it so honestly from your heart. It was a great read, but more than that, it was a great reminder that there are folks all around me every day who are lonely, broken, and lost. Thanks for that.<BR/><BR/>I kinda guessed that's where you were going with it all (since I've been getting to 'know' you for almost a year now via your blogs. But it was completely captivating to actually read it all and see how it played out. What an honor to your Father both you and your mom were through it all.<BR/><BR/>And you know what, I probably would read a novel like this. Especially if you use your real name when you publish it :)<BR/><BR/>Hugs, my bloggy friend. You did good!The Gang's Momma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12478478224173323982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223820224845115700.post-35009090364789471432009-03-25T06:06:00.000-07:002009-03-25T06:06:00.000-07:00You made my day!

I need to keep the picture of the description of heaven in my mind and bring it to my thoughts more often, keeping an eternal perspective on life.<BR/>It's a BEAUTIFUL ( and sometimes ugly) story...you are right, that's what God does, makes something ugly transform into beauty.

I am thankful that your mom and you were able to get some things. When Mike and I were "Old Man Tom" 's care givers and executors, after cleaning up the same disgusting things you spoke of and 7 months of trying to find people we ended up with $2500. But just like you said- we were not in it for the money either. And we would do it all over again. It was great how my girls didn't know that Old Tom was any different than anyone else.<BR/>Love you and yours!!

We heard at church last month that we will never, ever look into the eyes of a person that does not matter to God. I guess we need to remember that when we hear about people like Barbara, or even Audrey.<BR/>Thanks for your story, and for bringing light into it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584062611507562681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223820224845115700.post-62529743847676979742009-03-23T06:09:00.000-07:002009-03-23T06:09:00.000-07:00Thank you so much for sharing your story.

There may have been parts of the story that had me shaking my head in sadness or disgust, but like you said - life is messy.

I truly hope that someone reading your story will stop and consider that eternity is at stake...but not only that, life on earth is filled with abundance when we know the Lord. <BR/><BR/>I will be praying that your words will penetrate the heart of at least one person. And that as you begin to write your book, the Holy Spirit would direct you and give you the exact words to write.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for taking so much time to share your story...it was entertaining and thought provoking.<BR/><BR/>I hope you have some more stories tucked away that you can bring to us in the future!Lori at JOY Unspeakablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777728713317034491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223820224845115700.post-27268964004945731312009-03-22T20:50:00.000-07:002009-03-22T20:50:00.000-07:00april! i loved that! fantastic ending :)april! i loved that! fantastic ending :)Darjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545324193731250573noreply@blogger.com
