Dear Every Breath All Entries Page 11

A snowstorm, a politician and a night to remember. I have been to your rallies. I have seen your tv appearances. I have traveled miles to just get a glimpse of you, to here the same voice that whispered in my ear as we said goodbye. It was a night dreams are made of. One night changed my world. On the day I die, if I’m of sound mind, you will be in my last thoughts.

Hello Kindend Spirit Mailbox, I think you are a great idea.You will help a lot of people. It seems to me being on the beach,sitting on a bench writing to you would be very peaceful. It would give me a sense of peace and calmness about my innermost self, and would be a way for me to really think about my life, and what I have already accomplished in my past days, and what is to come next. It would be a great way to fulfill my mind with good thoughts and for praying. God has created all the beauty of nature for our benefit to enjoy.You could really soak in all that nature has to offer.

I have been walking to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox for years when I am on vacation. A beautiful comforting place to think about life and see the beauty of nature! In October when walking back to Sunset Beach I found a monarch butterfly it’s wings full of water and sand I held it in my hand about 40 minutes while I was walking. It stayed on my hand and dried off I then put it in the sea turtle sculpture at Sunset Beach where it was sipping nectar from the mums. We also had a white egret following us up the beach it was like he was leading us to the pier. My favorite place nature infused 💖

It’s Thanksgiving again and soon it will be Christmas. I miss you more and more ever day. We spent the day with your brother and family like we have for the past 27 years. It’s never the same without you though. I always dread the holidays. One because of the loss of our gorgeous angel baby Travis 17 years ago and two because you are not here with me for nine years now. I love you and wish I could see your beautiful smile again. Love always, Teresa

The Love - November 2018 - Sometimes love comes from places not yet discovered, forms not yet known or understood. How the heart takes over is beyond comprehension or imagination. Is it possible to love so deeply, stop short, start anew numerous years later? Is it possible to dislike and disregard love, the years in between fully knowing it was false and untrue? What does one do when confronted with the newer version of this relationship? J. Dixon

I will forever struggle between you and him. I loved you so much. Why did you wait until after I got married to fight for me? Why did it take you so long? I was yours. I was always yours. I’m sorry I rushed into getting married. I’m so sorry. I know it broke you too. It’s been 6 months since I’ve last talked to you and 5 years since I got married. All I can hope is one day to have another chance. One more kiss. One more chance to love you right. I’m sorry we were kids. We didn’t stand a chance then but we would have now. All I want is to see you happy, but I miss you so. I love you.

Such a beautiful Thanksgiving on the beach! Time for remembering the many good memories with loved ones! And of sad times of remembering our loved ones in Heaven!

The dream danced in our hearts for years. One day we would be so blessed to receive such a precious gift...but so many failed attempts and negative outcomes resulted in lost hope, faded dreams and broken hearts. August came and with it the sickness, slow at first, but quicker with each passing day. Then, the day we waited and dreamed for. The day we thought would never come! A positive. A baby!

I cannot begin to express in 600 characters the profound impact reading "Every Breath" had on me. You see I had a very similar experience myself. In high school in 1968 I fell in love with my H.S. sweetheart. We graduated, married, and I got called into the military. The marriage lasted 4 years but couldn't survive so we had a friendly divorce and went our separate ways. We both remarried, had kids and grand kids with no contact for 33 years. Long story short after losing our spouses we found each other again. She came in on the train, we ran into each others arms and have never let go.

I woke up to my mom crying in the hallway. I asked her what was wrong and although she couldn't get it out, I knew with the cry it was, that I would hurt just as deep. My best friend. The person that taught me about boys and makeup, the one that taught me about fashion. My older sister has passed away. My sister overdosed and passed at around 2 am on the 21st. Part of me is always mad because she knew the consequences of her actions, but part of me knew at that point she wasn't her anymore. But she would always be my older sister. She would always be my best friend.

I know when you woke and I was gone, You thought I went away, I’ll never really leave you all, I’ll be with you everyday. Although you think that I’m not there, I’m with you day and night, If only in the wind that blows, Or the snow that falls so white. I’ll be the waves that rush to shore, When you’re standing on the beach, I’ll be the shell lying in the sand, That will be within your reach. You’ll know it’s me in simple ways, You’ll know that I am there, From the raindrops that fall upon your face, To the wind that blows your hair. My message in a bottle.

I have read every book and seen every movie. Reading your last book, “Every Breath” again it was great, I thought of my life as it is a real unbelievable story! My life is a “Nicholas Sparks” Story and wish I could write it! I just don’t have your talent! Nurse, lived on a farm, lived with my mom over 50 years, bad marriage and and now married 20 years to my best friend! Living in Kentucky and Florida, walking, biking and golf! So it’s a very happy ending for me!

I just finished reading Every Breath while visiting family in Shallotte and staying in Ocean Isle Beach for Thanksgiving. I visited Kindred Spirit a few years ago and wrote in the notebook. Oh, to find a love like Hope’s and Tru’s! I left my abusive, alcoholic husband back in 1991, with my three young daughters in toe. They were 3,4, and 5 at the time. I raised them by myself all these years and I keep waiting for God to put someone in my life...my best friend to share life with. Thank you for bringing hope back into my life! Love, A Hopeless Romantic!

Each and every Christmas, when putting up the tree, Take me out, dust me off and remember family. Tie me to the highest bough, and marvel at the sight Of the beautiful glint it presents as it catches all the lights. Nothing is as gorgeous, though as what we've come to be, In each other's lives like this, and it fills my heart with glee. I'm gonna have to sign off now, as the tears begin to fall, Happy tears they are, though because in my heart, I'm with you all.

You are in a bad place right now; a broken engagement is like a death. In your case, I think it was worse. She loved you for so long and always forgave you but she grew up and you fought the responsibilities that come with age. My heart broke for you because even though your Dad and I tried to tell you she wasn't going to put up with your actions forever, she finally had enough and you were shocked. Three years later, you both are still alone, still hurting. So sad. Get her back son, please. You are both stubborn and miserable, but you love each other. Do it NOW.

The forest was dense and beautiful.                                     A lone deer wandered toward our cabin                                   And drank from the trough at our windowsill.                                                                                                     The deer laughed, and all the forest with her. They knew what all of mankind should know:   That all of creation belongs to God, And our joy comes from Him.

Why is it so hard to fined someone that will love all off you.And why is it that I can love every part of my self but my love interests cant seem too.Its hard living in this world when you have autism and everyone that finds out treats you differently after.I would not change this part of me,but there are times that I wish I knew what it was like to be someone with out autism.Then I would know why everyone I have dated either leaves after two dates or treats me like I'm stupid after finding out.I know they say there is someone for everyone, so were are you my MR Right.Im waiting for you XOX CG

God makes all things possible. We have been together almost half a century and sometimes I wonder how we got so far in this life. We have shared three children and nine grandchildren. We even mourned together over the loss of one grandchild. Both of us are orphans now since my dad passed away. It seems like yesterday that we met, but there has been so much in between. Illnesses and separations and loneliness. But I know you are there for me and God will keep us together.

Until now, we're waiting for the right time. He have been waiting for me since 2011. I don't know what I did to deserve his love and patience for me for waiting for 7 years. I still don't have the courage to introduce him to my family because I feel like I want to give my family the best things in the world and see them super happy before I make myself happy. Now that I graduated from college and passed the board exam and currently have a decent job, I'm waiting for God's perfect timing to tell my family that I'm already inlove, and tell the man who never gave up on me that it's time :)

After having my heart broken by another,there was something about you,seeing you every day, you didn't know I loved you. hours and hours after work sitting in the parking lot talking about life and you had no clue how much I loved you. I loved you enough to let you go, yet with heartache you returned I was your friend, I became your lover now for 17 years, 15 years married, children, 4 living 1 angel, 2 miscarriages... loosing myself in heartache and yet you held me up,no matter what you loved me, Through every heart aching disappointment and moment of happiness, You are my every breath!
