Seeing you go through all this with fierce determination and with Tim, makes me glad that we found God again. He is guiding you in all of this, and we don't stop to ask "why," we continue to pray for peace, comfort and taking the burden from your shoulders to His. This is on of my favorite gospel songs: "He Walks With Me (In The Garden)"<br /><br />I come to the garden alone<br />While the dew is still on the roses<br />And the voice I hear falling on my ear<br />The son of God discloses.<br /><br />And he walks with me and he talks with me<br />And he tells me I am his own<br />And the joy we share as we tarry there<br />None other has ever known.<br /><br />He speaks and the sound of his voice is so sweet<br />The birds hush their singing<br />And the melody that he gave to me<br />Within my heart is ringing.<br /><br />And he walks with me and he talks with me<br />And he tells me I am his own<br />And the joy we share as we tarry there<br />None other has ever known.<br /><br />I'd stay in the garden with him<br />Though the night around me is falling<br />But He bids me go through the voice of woe<br />His voice to me is calling...<br /><br />May peace be with you at this time honey.Zoomette53https://www.blogger.com/profile/00194368669253736472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061028931918958919.post-80050192138412407722018-10-15T12:01:21.972-05:002018-10-15T12:01:21.972-05:00I can see how "Nightwing and the Libray"...I can see how "Nightwing and the Libray" pertains to Eric and Jonathan. The black and white photos do resemble your drawings of them. I also see Eric as an older 'young' man. Because he has seen so much of life and death, he would have aged and matured since he 'died.' The news about the library is fantastic. Thought that you could get your book into the library, never dreamed that it would happen. Praying you have a nice winter and don't spend a lot of time in bed. Turn up the heat or keep the fireplace on. Can't wait to hear about the little 'goodie' for Tim and his reaction! Love you.

I am also blessed and feel privileged and honoured to get connected with you as well as know you and about your interest. Yes indeed nature is beautiful. I enjoyed going through your blog post. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 39 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come to MUMBAI to work with us during your vacation time. I am sure you will have a life changing experience. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends.

He had ultimate trust in our family to protect him and he loved us. Loved you. You were his person. I know it'll hurt to love again, but I can't imagine a life without cats. I'd go crazy (crazier?) in an empty house all day, every day. Speaking of Florida, I did bring home a lizard . . . and a hermit crab, and I learned the hard way why fire ants are called fire ants and that they don't like it when you stand on their house. No. They don't like it one bit when barefooted little toes wiggling in that sandy mound. Oh, part two is going to be hard. The night following his death, I was sobbing in bed and thinking things no one wants to admit, like who would I rather be grieving? Horrible, horrible question. But one we all ask. I mean, really. I couldn't answer it. I know who would hurt less, but this bunch is even tighter than my original five. The Original Five were fractured after David. It was always David and Neko for me. And Twitch was high up there for Tim. Twitch, the cat who hated everyone but me loved Tim even more. This group is a unit. Vash and Constantine will be terrible. I don't want to think about it. But it's going to hurt for all of them. With Lucien, like I said, there's a pattern with him that backs up 2 decades, and his death was violent, traumatic. I don't want to do part two. It's going to be hard. When I put the order in for his memorial brick, I searched pictures for two days because he's either with the other cats under a cat pile, hugging someone, burying his face into a pillow, grabbing a boob, or looking at the camera at some odd angle or with a weird face. I don't have a single decent facial picture of him for the stone! I had to sit down and use photo software to reconstruct half of his face to make one of my favorite pictures work. Thankfully, he had a symmetrical face. Days of work. Thank God for the Olympics, because my hands were killing me. I couldn't do much else than watch tv.Kastie Pavlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283396907980591555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061028931918958919.post-63994356675457516782018-02-23T13:42:49.355-06:002018-02-23T13:42:49.355-06:00This is making me cry so much I hope to be able to...This is making me cry so much I hope to be able to see my comment. Your feelings are so evident in your writing. I remember when you were little how you would proudly show us your bugs and would put them in jars. Catching lizards in Florida on vacation and determined to bring one home. When you got your first fish and named it. Your first little frog. All the creatures great and small are your friends, like Paresh in The Arrival. Twitch was also a unique cat. Your reaction to their deaths are exactly how I feel when our cats (and dog) die. I never ever felt I'd get another cat after Zoomer. You could put him in any situation and he'd stay calm. Remember the Allen's bringing their new puppy down to greet him to see his reaction. Nothing. Since fibro fog has hit I don't remember a lot about your cats. Meri knows more about them and would correct me if I got a name wrong. As your mom I'd like to take all your pain away, yet I can't. I have to see you suffer. I grieve. I cry. Life can be such a bitch. Don't know if I can bear Part 2.

The book does flow a lot better, yet I do miss the opening lines a little bit. I hope I do get to help edit Confessions so I can see how it changes.

I fell in love with their music and since you mentioned it, I can hear their music in the book. It's strange how much I pick up of your life in The Arrival. Perhaps that you're my oldest daughter relates to that or how close we became while editing the book. However, I will say that I don't know a lot of the other music.

I am excited to share this testimony, I was 3 years ago diagnosed of Adenomyosis and complicated Endometriosis. My medical condition was heart broken because it was causing my menstrual cramps,bloating before menstrual periods, lower abdominal pressure which result to heavy periods. I was subjected to different medications by my doctor for treatment such as Coenzyme Q10,ibuprofen, Danazol and many more. Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn't getting better, all they could say was surgery. At the verge of giving up, I went to the internet to search for a treatment at least. But I found a cure instead. In the internet, I read a testimony of a lady who had Adenomyosis and Fibroid. She shared an e-mail address of the Doctor. Luckily everything seemed to be okay after I took the Herbal Medicine. I wish I could say that’s the end of it because I haven't had any symptoms since then. <br /> Do not expose yourself to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective.

IT HURT. A LOT. In post op, as I woke up, I was woozy, but I remember crying and moaning, and a man standing beside me. He tried to comfort me by talking in a soft voice, and apologized for the pain while explaining that he was increasing the pain medications as quickly as he could - but even then, it was going to hurt. I don't remember much about my hospital stay, but the next day, I could not walk and could not swallow. I choked on hot tea and struggled to walk with a walker - I felt like a giant toddler. I felt so odd - the ground was so far away - but as long as I went slowly and made sure each foot was in place, I made it. And that helped me get better, but my gait improved greatly after I was off the pain pump and switched to oral meds. They wanted to remove the catheter as soon as possible to avoid increased risk of UTI (I did get one), but my walking troubles meant it was in longer than anticipated. The first urination was very painful and very difficult. Obviously, I couldn't shower, but I had the foresight to pack wipes, facial toner/cleansing wipes, a tooth brush, mouthwash, etc, so I was able to freshen up with help in the bed - but still, that first shower the day I was discharged felt SO good! I had multiple IV bruises and the pain pump "burned" my vein, which took months to heal. Instead of a one night stay, I stayed three days and two nights, and instead of 2-3 weeks off work, I was off for 2 months. The surgery and physical stress on my body threw my MS for a loop, that's for sure. Don't underestimate the need to rest after surgery like this. If you have MS and need surgery, definitely discuss with your neurologist what effects it may have on your MS. It took a while to regain normal walking skills - I was on a walker the first couple of days and then had to walk along the walls for balance (to wobbly to use the cane safely). I have experienced some atypical healing and have required silver nitrate cauterization twice, and have another follow up next week. That said, even through all the pain, I would do it again. My uterus did test positive, so the pain would have gotten worse. I'm not at 100% - I do still have MS, after all - but I feel so much better because of the hysterectomy. This permanent cure beats any long-term treatment, I assure you.Kastie Pavlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283396907980591555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061028931918958919.post-27352755856435556502013-04-01T15:00:57.965-05:002013-04-01T15:00:57.965-05:00Yay! ^_^Yay! ^_^Kastie Pavlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283396907980591555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061028931918958919.post-51797138513637631572013-04-01T14:38:44.778-05:002013-04-01T14:38:44.778-05:00Kastie, you are free to brag about me to your hear...Kastie, you are free to brag about me to your heart's content. <br /><br />I'm glad this has been helpful so far.
