Dear Every Breath All Entries Page 7

Thank you Nicholas Sparks for the Thank You note! Some years ago now, I met you at a book~signing in the desert in CA. I had 3 books; my fav...3 Weeks with my Brother, & your 2 new ones at the time. There was a limit of 1 signing per person! But when I requested you sign all 3; my fav for me, & the other 2 for Bandon Oregon Library, not only did you do it for me, but you said; "You are a kind person" now you have probably said that to many people, because your mama taught you to do that so long ago. But that touched my heart! I think I have read every one of your books & pass them on. Thanks

My dream is to one day visit the magical place where the novel "Every Breath" takes place. The messages of hope and love in the Kindred Spirit mailbox were wonderful to read about. My hope is all who visit and read and share their dreams and remembrances are blessed.

A mother's love is always there. Even through the trying times. Even when you say you hate me. Your mother will always love you. You are now a mother too. I pray that your sweet baby will help open your eyes to the fact that your mother loves you that much too. And that my arms and heart are open wide to you always and forever. Your brother misses you too. Your family, the one you've turned your back on loves you and misses you dearly. We can't wait for your return. We've never abandoned you. You left us way before I had no choice but to make you walk out that door.

Well, there aren’t really words to explain how I feel. But I guess this is the best I can do in explaining it. We found out about you on daddy’s birthday and we were so excited! On April 25th 2018 you came into this work silent, unbreathing... never knowing who you would be. Dadddy and I miss you so much baby. In the beginning it was so hard not to blame myself, it still is. I yearn to be able to hold you and love you till the ends of the earth! You meant everything to us, and you always will! We will never forget you! ~Love forever & always your momma

Every breath Was an amazing love story that gave me hope that you are truly out there and I'm gonna meet you one day.

My family has been turned upside down by addiction - a brother and a son who have over the years wrecked havoc on my family. While I love them both so much, I also resent what they have done. I don't think either one of them will ever fully realize the damage they have inflicted us with. It is heartbreaking because the relationship with my brother is not what it should be my relationship with my son is even worse - affecting not only me but his brother and sister. If anyone reading this has an addiction - I would pray that you would be diligent in attacking the problem-reach out for help!

When I have friends in difficult times, I usually offer the following: May God give you a rainbow for every storm. For every tear, a smile. For every care, a promise. And a blessing in each trial. For every problem that life sends, A Faithful friend to share. For every sigh, a sweet song. And an answer for each prayer. It almost always helps. Loved "Every Breath" R.Turnbull

It's been 22 years since you passed and not a day has gone by that I don't miss you. There are even moments when I think,"I can't wait to call Mom." Amanda has grown to be an amazing woman. She a teacher, her husband is a great guy. I'm a grandma, to the sweetest little guy. I live him so much. Steven too is doing well. He has a great job that allows him to travel. He's a rebel like Dad & I, but finding his on path.I lost my Reilly Boy this year. It broke my heart so completely. Please look after him until God reunites us all. Thank you for watching over us. I love & miss you, Kimi

My world shifted the day I met him. He challenged my beliefs and he changed the way I saw myself- but not for the better. And while he still crosses my mind sometimes, and while I will always have a small place in my heart for him, You have changed my life for the better. In you I have found my best friend, my future and my peace. You are the wind beneath my wings and my anchor. I love you for you and I love you for saving me.

I wish that I had the words to tell a special friend just how I feel about him. But I don't. It's a complicated situation all the way around for the two of us to even be together. For many reasons why. It doesn't really matter at all. I just know how I feel when I am with him. It's natural and beautiful just having a conversation with him. He listens to me and actually shares his life with me. I miss him so much when we are apart. I pray every night for the best for him. I also pray to be with him and share a life with him . I hope this dream comes true.

One day all elements are going well and if one element becomes dislodged it can literally shatter you. It is so important that each person focuses on YOU and only you at times. When one of your elements become tarnished you can recover better. This is not to say ignore the other elements such as family, friends, careers etc.but align them throughout your life. When things begin to crumble hopefully you will be able to overcome better. We were given life but not guaranteed it will be smooth sailing. This is why we must at an early age learn to take care of us!

I hope you both always know how much I love you. I haven’t always been the best mom. I have made to many mistakes to even count but I have always tried to do my very best. Every single day that I wake up and push forward has always been because of the two of you. You both are my world. As you get older each year and will be leaving the nest soon, I hope you know that I am your biggest fan and supporter. Always. No matter the decisions you will make, I will always support and love you. Love, Mom

I've been through a sunomammogram a couple of week ago and I had that lump both of my breast. Please journey with me as I face this battle of sickness. I know you're there for me every single moment of my life. Please guide me in every detail of my decisions In my food intake, in my daily activity etc. Lord help me to love you, Mama Mary please lead me more closer to your Son our Lord, the great Healer. Love you always. Your princess Miss Cee

Standing at that alter, I knew I would love you forever. For 15 years, I had every bit of confidence that we had something most couples did not. We were head over heels for each other. We were “that couple”. And then somehow we weren’t. Everything unraveled so fast. Being loved by another is nice, but it’s not what we had. It’s not all of those dreams that I once had with you. Ten years later, I still consider what could have been, what should have been. Ten years later, I still love you

Four years ago I went through a bad divorce, one I chose to end and not for another man but only for peace of mind and to find myself again. I was so lonely and never felt good enough and was told so daily. I prayed day and night for help and I tried hard to remain close to God and rely on him to guide me but as the divorce continued on I grew more angry and bitter and felt that God had abandoned me as well and I felt as betrayed as I did in my marriage. I hear God is loving and merciful but somewhere along the way to finding myself, I have become more lost and ask now, is God really there?

Its time to part ways after 2 year of togetherness. Even though i knew from day 1 that this arrangement will not last forever however getting into it seemed the most perfect thing at that time. The more i told myself day by day that this is not permanent the more i was getting into him emotional and physically. Saying goodbye is killing me also Coz somewhere i know its never going to be another chance for me. He’s younger to me by a decade and has his a bright future ahead. Its best for him to concentrate and dedicate his time to someone that will last for a lifetime.

I remember looking at you and believing that in that very moment, time had stopped and let me study you. I never understood why when I was with you, it always felt like time had stood still, until the moment came and time kept moving forward. It's not that I lived in a fantasy whenever I was with you, it was in those moments with you, that I felt safe and protected like the outside world couldn't touch me. Until you showed me, that you and the outside world were no different. My worth in your eyes, never matched what I truly deserved. My heart and spirit are still shaken but at least I am free

I am one of the lucky ones! Met my true love at 16 and been together for 28 years! It hasn’t always been easy but you learn to compromise. We have never given up on each other. We have two beautiful children and a beautiful granddaughter.

When are you touring again for your book I would love to meet you! I have almost all your books except See Me and Two of Us and you got me into reading about 10 years ago! Fan Betty

I still can’t believe you were crossing the room to see me on that night years ago. But you were!! How lucky I was, and still am. Now, a beautiful family (+ Brody) has been created and it was all because of you. You are an incredible woman - smart, caring, and very reassuring when things are looking a bit down. The love in our home is all because of you. You are a fantastic wife but you were born to be a mother. We all love you and we are who we are because of you!!
