thank you for your kind sentiments...dear svetlana, <br />thank you for your kind sentiments. you may know by now, however, from reading my posts that i do not believe in god or heaven, at least not the kind that scripture describes. i do believe, though, that when calvin dies he will be released from any suffering he may have had to endure in this life, and this knowledge alone is enough to calm my worries. in essence, and by definition, he'll be one with the earth and the starts and the universe when his ashes are scattered in the wind and the sea.<br />christy Christy Shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106761191160700997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-46278502484039459422015-10-14T10:29:51.534-04:002015-10-14T10:29:51.534-04:00Dear Christy,

I am also someone who knows that God loves us, and He loves our children, and all the children, even more than we do... Some day we will know all the answers.... I read in one of your posts may be last year, that you sometimes wondered what Calvin would be like if he didn't have epilepsy, what he would be like as a person... I wanted to share a thought with you about this then, but didn't dare because I was a coward, but I will share it with you now...For some reason, I do not know if it is God, but for more than a year I have been resisting telling you this thought that pops in my mind when I think of you and Calvin. So here is the thought: In heaven, Calvin will be completely free, because there is no disease there, Calvin will be exactly the way God made him to be, without the effects of the epilepsy, will be able to speak, just be himself, happy and free, one day.... And God asks you to be there, too, to be able to see Calvin, and so Calvin's joy will be complete... <br /><br />Special thoughts and prayers for strength and hope: Svetlana, from Bulgariapochivastahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022970141655720973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-52646960249442862472015-03-27T07:59:54.264-04:002015-03-27T07:59:54.264-04:00Beautiful.Beautiful.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-78694927080117744692015-03-24T08:53:36.126-04:002015-03-24T08:53:36.126-04:00You *do* have a beautiful, loving, family.
Your ...You *do* have a beautiful, loving, family. <br />Your reflections today are like the classic Buddhist parable of the mustard seed, where the Buddha comforts a widow who just lost her only child, by asking her to bring him a mustard seed from a house where no one had died. In her search for the seed she realized that everyone faces sorrow and loss, and gained strength to cope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-12200729470623715372015-03-23T14:37:24.115-04:002015-03-23T14:37:24.115-04:00so full of heart. and dear Calvin keeps you full...so full of heart. and dear Calvin keeps you full.....carolhttp://gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
