Hi Chris,
We know all about what happened with your dad. Millie often spoke
about it, but she told me that she had accepted it. How many times she
spoke about you. You are indeed her life. She would always mention
about how much you were helping her, and everything that you were
doing for her, and how much she loved you. She would "beam" whenever
she wrote about you.
In the time that I met her (on here) we got into many conversations,
mostly about you, so I know how you must feel. Her always suffering
from the terrible pain and having to deal with it until your name came
up. She was like a brand new person whenever she would talk to me
about you. I have had many personal conversations with her. She was
always praying for me and everyone else here. We were and still are
praying for her. She is a very, very, very good person.
Chris please keep us and her informed. I can honestly say that we all
love her dearly. I would like to send a special prayer her way. I'm
sure that she has already seen it because I have sent it to several
people on here, but this is especially for her from me.
"MILLIE'S PRAYER"
Eternal GOD, source of healing, out of my distress I call upon you.
Help me to sense your presence at this difficult time. You have
already sent me gifts of your goodness: The skill of my physician, the
concern of others who help me, the compassion of those I love, and who
love me.
I pray that I may be worthy of all these, today and in the days to
come. Help me to banish all bitterness; let not despair overcome me.
Grant me patience when the hours are heavy; give me courage whenever
there is hurt or disappointment.
Keep me trustful in your love, O GOD. Give me strength for today, and
hope for tomorrow. To your loving hands I commit my spirit when asleep
and when awake. You are with me; I shall not fear. Help me, O GOD, in
my time of need.
Now Chris, something from me again to her.
A Happy Everything.
May you always know how appreciated you are.
May you never forget what a blessing you've become to a world that
could use more people like you.
May you reap the rewards of kindness
May your sunshine always shine through
May love walk by your side.
May friendship sing in your smile
May opportunity remember to knock on
your door and surprise you once in a while.
May your memories be ones that you
wouldn't trade.
May your hopes and dreams find ways of coming true. May
You never forget how dearly I wish a Happy...'Everything' for you.
Please Chris if you could read this to her.
18's,
Marty
