Dinah, the closing song is lovely. It reminds me of a song from my own childhood that I can't quite remember.
Strange fit as it may be, I think I'll youtube it to hear the music.
Thank for this post :-)
No matter the beliefs or constant disbelief I may have, how could I deny my son a heaven and a loving god?
When my son was three, my father died of mesothelioma (asbestos induced lung cancer). My dad, who really blew it with me took to my son, told him all and only the good things about heaven. He was going to meet my mom (my son, never having met her was very curious about
this.) And after all the pointless fights my father and I had about who gets in, my dad told my son only what he needed or wanted to know--that you see everyone there, they are all friends, you see all your pets and all the little animals
of the woods. This seemed somehow very healing for My boy, and for me!Years of dogmatic rules were just gone and love remained.
Every Halloween since, My Bubs will spending some time dressing up as visitors who are waiting for us and brings us messages. Our old yellow lab comes every Halloween.
Who am I to deny my son such a obvious need?
I'm glad you found a good place for yourself and your family. And not everyone has to bang the nails, though maybe your son does and will. I know what you mean; however, sometimes my husband, (who is a good cook) will buy pre made food and call that cooking with his checkbook :)
