You have a way with word flow, a real talent.<br /><br />I feel for your friend. Such pain and restriction. It's all about perspective. When viewing things in the light, the hardships are lessened and life is more manageable. God will never give us more than we can handle.<br /><br />I wish all the best for you and your friend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906210957012665490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-730003800532672472014-01-05T06:09:32.270-08:002014-01-05T06:09:32.270-08:00Thank you Privy!

I love that you just went with it. I understand about needing a quiet and peaceful house, maybe headphones for your kids will help. That way you won't have to retreat to your bedroom? <br /><br />This is sad but beautifully written and I can feel the peace flowing through your words. Thank God she has a friend to spend time with and a peace inside her soul.
