Thank you so much for your kind though...@ Samantha<br /><br />Thank you so much for your kind thoughts, Samantha! I can't even imagine the pain of losing both a brother and a sister. Thanks for sharing such a poignant part of your history! Since I've know you, you have always been there to give a comforting word to a sister. God love you, sweetie!<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-761668604964357192010-05-22T18:10:58.718-04:002010-05-22T18:10:58.718-04:00I'm sorry you lost your sister, that regrettab...I'm sorry you lost your sister, that regrettably is a pain I know <br /><br />too well. I lost both a brother and a sister who never got to <br /><br />know me really. My sister passed two years ago, but had been <br /><br />missing for a whole lot longer than that. In fact her best friend <br /><br />growing up had also been looking for her for a long time and found <br /><br />me. Ironically enough, Mona had been in contact with my sister <br /><br />slightly more recently than I had and thought I was using one of <br /><br />my sister's pictures. We both kept looking and then she turned up <br /><br />in the Social Security Death index. Mona and I have remained in <br /><br />touch, honoring my sister's memory. Mona has always been kinda <br /><br />part of the family so it only made sense.<br /><br />In '03, shortly before I decided I couldn't take it anymore, I <br /><br />lost my brother Jon. It was sudden, unexpected, and heart <br /><br />breaking. We'd been on the phone talking until the wee hours of <br /><br />the morning as we often did and passed minutes after than. He <br /><br />never got to meet his sister either. In fact it was the shock of <br /><br />Jon's passing that made me realize it was more than time to do <br /><br />something about my little problem.<br /><br />I miss them both.<br /><br />Acceptance my dear is a powerful and heady elixir no? I remember <br /><br />all too well how blessed I was, am, and have been, to have been so <br /><br />accepted by everyone in my life when I first started down the path <br /><br />of my own journey to a life of my own. Ironically now all these <br /><br />years later, we all have trouble remembering me as a guy. It's <br /><br />amazing what seven years can do.<br /><br />Acceptance, regardless of the details, is a great blessing <br /><br />Melissa, and I'm glad you are finding more and more of it as time <br /><br />goes by. You deserve all the blessings you can get your hands on, <br /><br />we all do!Samantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261974014782795456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-56875323347145751212010-05-22T05:49:53.078-04:002010-05-22T05:49:53.078-04:00Thank you for a post with a lot of hope. Especiall...Thank you for a post with a lot of hope. Especially for a Sinatra performance I had never heard before! People either love his voice or hate it; 'guess you can figure where I stand. Here's another from the same album with an amazingly simple orchestral backup; <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh57XQFco60<br /><br />Hugs, HalleHallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-13633752818762456572010-05-22T05:42:20.986-04:002010-05-22T05:42:20.986-04:00The sisterhood is a broad church!
