Dear Barbar,
What makes you UNIQUE is that big heart you have and your willingness to help anyone who is hurting, in any way.
You do that thru prayer and conversation and I have been in the shoes of that help many times.
I remember back on that prayer chain, when I was active, how you would stay up late at night watching and praying for anyone who needed prayer.

You have inspired people on FAithwriters.

You are an amazing "bapticostal" woman!!!!!

What makes you SPECIAL is your ability to keep helping out your dear grandchildren time and time and time again stopping your life to jump into whatever mess has been made at the time.
You are just THERE, period and I hope Melissa knows how blessed she is to have a mom like you who will do that.
I KNOW your grandaughters know they are blessed to have a grandma like you.

You have overcame your speech difficulties and now teach young children.....that IS special!
Remember when you went blind one time, and God restored your sight......then here on FC you use that sight to read when others are hurting or need someting and you do that in your life everyday, with all your family. ...Ann...and Jeanete....

You are very creative and I have been blessed with a beautiful train picture album which I treasure to this day!

You are a STRONG woman, having lost your mom, (having the chance to reconcile with her first)
stepdad and now John, you will make it, sweetie, you will. It won't be easy.

So you have those "indian war crys" as you call them honey because you are grieving right now and that is perfectly normal.


Even more important than being unique os special though, you are LOVING!
You gave your all to your dear John to make sure he was comfortable in his last days here. You loved him with everything and all you had. We know that from your writings and I know that from meeting you.
You two were made for one another.
My heart breaks for you now as you are grieving forJohn but we are all here for you to listen to you vent, cry and "polish yourself up and make yourself new again. "
I am so proud of you for getting out there and joining Redhats and going to grief sharing groups. I love you and am so proud to call you my friend.

So sweetie, you ARE unique, special creative and loving and I want to make sure you know that!!

love you, Donna
