Angel: I was posting an entry at the time you came over to my journal. Please take a second look...
Angel: No entry for today...As if I really expected there to be. Just want to let you know, Carol, that I've thought about you and about Clint today. A year ago - yes, the time has seemed to have flown by. You were (are!) a special mother and Clint, of course, was special, as well. God's special gift to all of us. You're in my prayers today.
inhishands: God bless you in all that you do! Grace and love be with you always! (God Is Love)
Angel: I haven't been here in a while - life gets in the way... But when I am here, I read and read and absolutely love viewing the pictures you put up!

Aloha-GA-Girl: I was out blog hopping and came across yours. You have a wonderful story of love and survival. May God continue to Bless You.

Kris S: Thanks so much for stopping by, Carol. The thing about grief, people will tell you it's time for you to put it behind you but it's such a personal thing, isn't it? We all take our own time in our own way to heal. Bless you, sweetie.
Leenie: Hi...I haven't been in awhile but I wanted to say hello again and I hope your doing ok. Its funny...lastnight I asked my Mom to come visit me in a dream...Im glad you saw Clint, Im just sorry he didn't appear in better health.
Kris S: I saw your tag on Angel's blog and stopped by 'coz I don't think I've ever visited before. What a beautiful son Clint was, Carol...bless your heart. It was hard enough losing my mom...can't imagine the pain in losing a child. Cast your cares upon Him for He careth for you. Please stop by and get acquainted...I will be back by.
FrenchAdamFan: Hi ! I've just discovered yours and Clint's journal. Clint was a beautiful boy. You can be proud with him.Take care.
Leah: hello there. just dropping by Light and Love to you
Angel: We had those kind of birds in a humongous flock a few days ago...It is kind of eerie, isn't it?! As always, viewing the pics on your journal and reading of Clint is very enjoyable. Of course, I come here to learn of how you're doing, also... Bless you, Carol!
Alaine: oh...and as for Clint's age. You really did have him for 31 years if you count your pregnancy :)
Alaine: I don't think you need to let go. Moving on with life is much more important than letting go and I think you are doing just fine. I still cry for my best friend that I lost 15 years ago. It wouldn't be human to "let go". And you know you will see Clint again. And I think in Heaven Clint is not feeling time as we do so he isn't sad at all. You have the rest of Eternity to be with your baby boy. ((((carol))))
jan: Carol, you don't have to let go. You are still going through the grieving process. I lost my sister two years ago and can still sit down and bawl because I still miss her so much . It doesn't hurt as bad now, but like you the memories of things she did, mannerisms and her favorite things still bring the heavy feeling of loss to my heart. With time we will experience less pain and more joy in the memories.
eric: Dear friend, come and leave a blessing for
Moonie: Was out journal jumping and came across yours. Very nice place you have here and I really enjoyed learning more about you and the fam. I'll return when I can spend a bit more time. Take care and have a good day.
jr: sorry you had a bad day
sparkle: Just in the neighbourhood and saying hello on the way
Angel: continued... doctrine says otherwise. She was the "child"of our hearts and we take comfort in knowing that we will see her again one day. I'll be back again soon...I love reading your entries and seeing the pics of Clint!
Angel: Your entry of 8/21 answered some questions for me, too, Carol. I am a born-again Christian, though I have strayed off the course a few times. I don't always agree with what some doctrines (churches) teach, not even my own, but I feel that whatever causes us to be more hopeful is okay. (Within the Christian perspective, of course.) For instance, when we lost our beloved furchild, our pastor told us that animals do not go to Heaven. We are comforted in thinking she is there, even though our church

Vacation Continues

     It is another beautiful day on the lake.  Doug took us for a boat ride on the lake this afternoon and that was great.  Bill wasn't thrilled at the idea of getting on a boat after the horrendous experience on his recent fishing trip but he went.  As I'm writing this,I can see Glacier Peak on the far end of the lake. There is still snow on top of it. 
     Doug grilled steaks for dinner last night.  I haven't had a grilled steak in awhile so it seemed especially tasty. Bill and Doug were in bed by ten o'clock so us girls watched a cute movie called "Yours, Mine and Ours."  This was a remake of one from some years back.
     I was asleep before midnight again last night so I woke at seven this morning.  I was the first one up.  When Bill got up we tried to make coffee and wound up with coffee flooding the counter.  Oops!  We didn't watch Doug closely enough yesterday as he made coffee with this defective coffeepot.  Despite that setback, we finally got some coffee to drink.  By then Vanna (Claudia's mother) had surfaced along with Trudy. 
     Brunch was steak, eggs and hash browns using leftover steak and potatoes from last night's dinner.  Dinner tonight will be grilled salmon so that should be a treat even though I'm not a big salmon fan.  I suppose that is not the thing to say when you living in Washington state!
     I'll get back to enjoying the sunshine and lake view.
