It has been too long since I visited ...Dear Ginnie,<br />It has been too long since I visited you and I find that you have been through such a sad time. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Gerrit. Everything that you wrote about him was filled with love and your courage as you looked after him was inspiring. The opportunity to love someone as you have done and continue to do is so precious. May your happy memories of your life together console you.<br /><br />I read that poem and wish that I could find the serenity that it speaks of. I know myself too well - waiting open-endedly seems an elusive goal!<br /><br />Sending you my love.alice chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506149731913717166.post-49312535783151795112013-01-25T13:44:47.406-06:002013-01-25T13:44:47.406-06:00That is beautiful, and so true.

I always think it's not so much control that we need to give up (because we never really had it in the first place), but the idea or illusion of being in control. "Take no thought for the morrow" - how hard that is for us to do, and yet what a blessed relief it is.<br /><br />Have a good week, Ginnie. :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.com
