Icarus said...: Oh my! Still 3 days to go & already a houseful! Ruth, I have a question on need of answering re the family:I'm confused (but I like this Ch. de B, BTW!), is Lynn the same Lynn who lives in France & writes great French? And what is the connection with Mousie? Or I am round the wrong Xmas tree altogether?
How does Mick respond to all the people? And how is Sue's situation?; 12/23/2006 6:41 pm
RUTH said...: Hi MS, One day I must do a family tree. Lynn lives in Surrey, England; no connection that I know of to French Lynn. Mousie is, like you, someone who dropped into my blog one day and continued to visit; supporting me with her sweet words. Sue's son is out of hospital; further tests to be done in the New Year at Papworths Hospital; there is a chance he may have a small hole in the heart which hopefully can be repaired by keyhole surgery. Knowing Mick as well as I do I know he will have enjoyed having so much of his family around him; he often responds to the sound of a voice esp. the grandchildrens. I hope all is stable with your life at the moment.
With Love
Ruth

PORTRAIT OF A FRIEND

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers. I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,nor the future with its untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care. I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall. Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; Yet I can share in your laughter. Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge; I can only support you, encourage you,and help you when you ask. I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you. I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you, But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,room to be yourself. I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place. I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend. --Unknown
