Dates to Remember
The clouds broke early this morning and rolled back to unveil the bright blue sky. As I walked the beach boardwalk for an early morning wake-up, a stranger was looking out over the ocean and said to his buddy “What’s on tap for another day in paradise?” They laughed and I just smiled.
I’m back at the foot of the Pacific Ocean for a quick family visit…and to remember some very special days from my life with Leroy. Yesterday, I remembered his birthday with my feet firmly planted in the sand and the waves of his ocean rolling over my toes. I brought some flowers, one of his favorite cookies and whispered a birthday wish that the salt air captured in a breeze and lifted across the waves.
In just a couple more days, I will remember our wedding anniversary, in much the same way. It will be a tough week.
I’ll be leaning heavily on the peaceful Pacific to be my wall….dates to remember….remembering the Big Guy.

OMG – I instinctively grabbed for my Hawaiian shirt to wear to work yesterday… I have the chills big time, as I did not consciously realize that it was his birthday when doing so… I am so glad that you got some ocean/Leroy/reflecting time and some family time. They are so renewing!

Awww… Laurie, how romantic! I hope you found the peace and comfort you so deserve! I agree with Al, he does live in your hearts. Remember this too, he lives on in all of us as well. He touched everyone of us and his memory is forever etched on our hearts too! Hang in there girlfriend, you enjoy those memories, you live in those moments and we will do the lifting!

Greetings,
I was a patient who was healed in Mother Ignacia Healing Center. I wish to share a prayer that is so powerful. Perhaps the patients would be happy to know it.
A nun who is an instrument of God’s healing in Mother Ignacia Healing Center in the Philippines, shared to people: JESUS is the most powerful word in the world.
For anyone with cancer, other illness,
1. Place oneself in the presence of God
2. Spell the name of J-E-S-U-S in the mind, silently, with all his heart
3. Say the name of JESUS in the mind, lovingly, with all his heart, 10 times
Finally, claim the healing of Jesus. It has healed several patients.
Thank you very much. May God bless you.

I hope you find that allusive peace. Remember it all, let the waves wash over you and take the pains away and leave you with the happy memories to carry you through.
As Al has pointed out he’ll never leave as you carry him in your heart always.

An early morning walk or just sit on the shore to watch the sun rise. In the quiet, you can remember all of the great times bathed by majestic colors of the early morning rays. May the ache in your heart be lessened by the tranquility of the place. The Big Guy will be with you always ’cause he lives in your heart.
