There are special things that Elie loves...I don't know if I would find the courage to face them...you don't want to hear that you amaze me, that I am so awed by your grace - because you consider it a struggle and natural and perhaps that it is a face and not really you. But you give so many strength. You teach the value of living, even with pain. You teach giving, even when you lose something so precious. Micheal was as blessed to have had you - as you were to have had him. Thank you for keeping his memory alive and sharing him with us...even when it brings tears to your eyes...and ours. May God cradle Micheal in His arms with love and cherish him and watch over him - as you did in his life.A Soldier's Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370218893899121159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731111789859373532.post-33468643973438354272009-06-14T19:05:36.053-07:002009-06-14T19:05:36.053-07:00Knottie,

That's what I would have wanted: Mom's swiss steak, mashed potatoes and german chocolate cake.<br /><br />About a year after my grandma died, something really funny happpened. I can't remember what it was now, but I *do* remember immediately picking up the phone and dialing her number to tell her. As soon as I realized what number I dialed, I hung up and cried. It's a testiment to those we love when we freely associate automatic responses to them- like buying peach soda.AFSisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731111789859373532.post-74568187258537797482009-06-08T07:43:54.216-07:002009-06-08T07:43:54.216-07:00The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the blo...The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the blog post <a href="http://www.thunderrun.us/2009/06/from-front-06082009.html" rel="nofollow">From the Front: 06/08/2009 </a> News and Personal dispatches from the front and the home front.David Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153191536633461987noreply@blogger.com
