This just breaks my heart! Like you,...Oh, Tiffany! This just breaks my heart! Like you, I know it's just stuff, but it was not your choice in how to let go of the stuff. That's what's so terribly hard. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I need to read back through the post, but did you get the family pictures? <BR/><BR/>Have you started or thought about starting to journal stories and memories and thoughts on the legacy your parents have left you? This is truly the one thing that is something that can't be taken away from you and your precious little family. <BR/><BR/>As I read through your post, I was thrilled to see the nearness of God in your life, preparing you for this moment. It reminded me of Psalm 73:25-28 ~ "Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And besides Thee, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from Thee will perish; Thou hast destroyed all those who are unfaithful to Thee. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Thy works."<BR/><BR/>I continue to pray for you and your family.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476239476912894265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098585470139350484.post-50956584582109867372008-01-25T10:28:00.000-08:002008-01-25T10:28:00.000-08:00Hi!You weren't kidding when you came by my "place"...Hi!<BR/>You weren't kidding when you came by my "place" and mentioned having some healing going on in your life. I am so sorry, Tiffany. My heart aches for you and all of the loss you have endured. I lost my Dad when I was 18 to a sudden and massive heart attack. I cannot imagine losing my mother, too. And then losing all of their things. But in the loss of my father, God has been so faithful to me, so tender. <BR/>There really are no good words I can offer you. Nothing that could begin to touch the pain. But I will be praying for you. Truly, I will. <BR/>I'm glad you came by today. I'm glad because now I can be one more person lifting you up before our faithful and loving Father.<BR/>Love and Blessings,<BR/>KimberlyKimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534550649815409116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098585470139350484.post-44351168016113717682008-01-20T17:48:00.000-08:002008-01-20T17:48:00.000-08:00Tiff, I know you might not feel like dealing with ...Tiff, I know you might not feel like dealing with it right now, and that is truly OK.

Maybe it is a Febraury thing (my b-day is the 24th). I lost my grandmother 3 months before the birth of my first child. She was like a mother to me and I also remember that feeling of numbness. I am also an only child so I know only too well what it is like to feel like you are going through this life alone in so many ways. Hold on to your husband and your children for all they are worth. I am not going to try to leave you with some cute saying, but I will tell you what I do and maybe it will work for you to-just breathe, slow down and let Christ take you by the hand and take it minute by minute if needed. You are a strong woman and you can and will get through this.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248442562204734594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098585470139350484.post-88391128742150707692008-01-19T16:15:00.000-08:002008-01-19T16:15:00.000-08:00oh tiffany, i am SO SO sorry. i can understand......oh tiffany, i am SO SO sorry. i can understand......especially being an only child - as tommy and i both are.<BR/><BR/>i had to sort through memories in a different way 5 years ago. that is when my mom and dad's marriage came to an end. and i was the one to have to divide everything up. it crushed me.<BR/><BR/>but God used it to make me a stronger person. i fought it tooth and nail, though!<BR/><BR/>write down your memories (when/if you have time!). talk about them so that they stay fresh. i've read before that you fear something happening to you and your children not remembering. i am the same way. i started writing in a journal for mary peyton while i was still pregnant. and even though i don't write as much as i'd like, it's there. some sad, some happy.<BR/><BR/>i'll have you in my thoughts & prayers!!!!!Tommy, Suzanne, and Mary Peytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264959683912755145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098585470139350484.post-58815029071621314622008-01-18T21:07:00.000-08:002008-01-18T21:07:00.000-08:00I'm so sorry.

I agree with freetofly...how wonderful that our sweet Lord started preparing you ahead of time.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you're afraid your memories will go...but start sharing them now with Trey & Anna Grace. As a child, I always loved to hear my mom talk about growing up, and I try to do the same with my daughter often. Pass the heritage (and not the clutter) along to your beautiful children...they'll thank you for it later.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488537925889589851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098585470139350484.post-83197960926275427232008-01-18T14:55:00.000-08:002008-01-18T14:55:00.000-08:00Oh, Tiff! That's just rotten! I have been trying t...Oh, Tiff! That's just rotten! I have been trying to finish reading this off & on all day (family took lots of time today) I only just now have read the entirety and I am horrified for you. Really. At the same time, how awesome that God began preparing you gently ahead of time, or the fallout could have been worse. <BR/><BR/>I didn't realize how much loss you & Hugh have been faced with in your short years. My heart aches for you.<BR/><BR/>Now that I know the depth of your loss and grief, I will pray for you accordingly; for comfort, joy and strength,<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't mean this in a crass way, and I hope you will know that...but, it is on my heart to say that as you hold this before the Lord, He WILL make this loss up to you, in unexpected & unforeseen ways. It may take time & it won't be the same sutff, but, I have seen this happen over the years when injustice is done, or even just the loss that comes w/living in this world...Keep it before the Lord, remember He is your Abba Father, & just like you & Hugh would most certainly comfort and redeem a situation for your children, He WILL do the same for you, as you wait expectantly on Him...<BR/><BR/>Praying for you & your family, Tiff...May the God of all comfort comfort, heal & strengthen you, and restore joy & light as well.<BR/>May you & Hugh & your children draw comfort from the Lord and each other and make so many new, rich memories that the hurt dims over time, and all that's left is the good times.She Rose Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468898873508947166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098585470139350484.post-8146621742574886082008-01-18T14:13:00.000-08:002008-01-18T14:13:00.000-08:00sweet tiff-i wondered when you were going to share...sweet tiff-<BR/>i wondered when you were going to share this story with your readers and i see that today is the day. <BR/><BR/>my heart goes out to you. you know i would do anything for you and i love you dearly. you are my sister, indeed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
