I think your post is entirely true and while I'm still sorry for all the pain your family has suffered, I'm glad you are finding the light.<br /><br />Just because he is distracted now doesn't change the love he has had for you over this past year. Those times still have the same importance for both him and your family- and I'm sure the good things in his life now are from the love and support and courage you and Scott gave him.<br /><br />Love you!!Over the Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368253163507383272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-53959065015285123592009-06-20T10:41:45.435-06:002009-06-20T10:41:45.435-06:00Nice post, Sarah.

The show has a great message that people thought to be wicked, may just be misunderstood. I'm in NYC today. Next week my brother and I have tickets to see "Billy Elliot" here which is another show with a great message.Ron Schownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-35001632505792750452009-06-19T12:57:55.026-06:002009-06-19T12:57:55.026-06:00Thank you for all of your comments.

Scott came up with another theory yesterday regarding why he has distanced himself from us. It is not appropriate to share here, and the more I think about it, I think Scott is right, and it makes me sad.<br /><br />But life goes on, and he has in the past expressed gratitude to us, and I will be grateful for that, and move on otherwise. Time will heal the pain. There are other friends for our family to love and care for, and I am trying to focus on what we have gained rather than on what we have lost.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765524620705643823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-17930380927526263352009-06-19T11:59:37.594-06:002009-06-19T11:59:37.594-06:00You don't say how old this person is but maybe...You don't say how old this person is but maybe he is young enough that maybe it has not occured to him yet what you have done for him. Children do have a way of taking things for granted. I just hope, however age he is, that at some point he is mature enough to realize what you have done for him and expresses that accordingly.<br /><br />Regards.<br />PhilipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-84531229514069464712009-06-18T16:44:18.087-06:002009-06-18T16:44:18.087-06:00Beautiful, insightful post...thank you for sharing...Beautiful, insightful post...thank you for sharing.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373084447383300471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-19063399102781023522009-06-18T01:05:29.498-06:002009-06-18T01:05:29.498-06:00Very thoughtful, and thought provoking post. I wa...Very thoughtful, and thought provoking post. I was thinking recently about going to church to "worship" God. How often I think of God in terms of myself...I forget that I'm here to WORSHIP him. It's not all about what I need or even thanking him for what I have but to WORSHIP him. How often I forget that I'm here to praise, honor and please God. <br /><br />I often go to church thinking about what I get out of it. On the way home I've often thought of the sermon and how it applies to my life - but I recently realized I've been missing the point. I'm supposed to be there to worship God.<br /><br />Your point of how we get connected when we need something; comfort, answers, direction, made me think again of this.tksinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278673754113205266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-65962463352111401862009-06-17T21:59:23.542-06:002009-06-17T21:59:23.542-06:00I love this song!

Other than that I have nothing extremely insightful to add, just that you and Scott both rock. :)El Geniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02801064758712821345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-48579809483288465702009-06-17T21:28:18.796-06:002009-06-17T21:28:18.796-06:00I know you are, but be grateful for the time you&#...I know you are, but be grateful for the time you've had together and the the influence for good you've had with each other. Sometimes these things come in seasons, at times often and frequent and at others, not so much. Lots of friendships are this way. And yes, our relationship with God is often that way as well.<br /><br />Some friendships take work and effort to keep going. Some are strong while needs are being met. It is rare to have an effortless friendship that lasts forever. Be grateful for the amazing influence you are feeling and know that the longing you feel for a lost contact means that you risked your heart for investing good in others - and that ache-caused risk means you care, and you love. <br /><br />In my book, that's something to cherish.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159223254071653666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-57532018008765279432009-06-17T14:45:33.051-06:002009-06-17T14:45:33.051-06:00More sage wisdom from Joan of Arc.

Now I want to listen to Wicked.<br /><br />And I think that knowing you and your family has been a good thing for us, too.Kengo Biddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083962910965544925noreply@blogger.com
