I like the thought of being with you in some way, Father's Day.<BR/><BR/>Not sure whether to tell you this or not ... if you reach a point where you just are ready, ready to cry some more, download "I Still Can't Say Goodbye" by Chet Atkins.

A colleague shared her reflections on our "gray hymnal" as one of our only bits of UU universally shared scripture, if you will.

I first heard the song at Woman Spirit Gathering at Lake Geneva in the late 1980's when UU women from all over North America came together to celebrate. <BR/>May I have your permission to quote you. I would like to use your words when we explain to people how our UU faith helps us in dealing with my husbands Stage IV metastatic cancer.Julie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273652817436810757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-69227026731914604032008-06-06T17:53:00.000-05:002008-06-06T17:53:00.000-05:00Spirit of Life never fails to bring me peace and h...Spirit of Life never fails to bring me peace and hope when I sing it. It reaches down deep in me and guides me to a place that is calmer and more centered; I almost always have to blink back tears.Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-69707503880400037892008-06-06T15:20:00.000-05:002008-06-06T15:20:00.000-05:00This is so very lovely -- I feel much the same way...This is so very lovely -- I feel much the same way when I hear or sing this song. It was one of the first UU "rituals" in my first congregation that spoke deeply to me, and called me into this faith, and keeps me here now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-54676673866820156302008-06-06T13:32:00.000-05:002008-06-06T13:32:00.000-05:00Today I have been thinking about you a lot.

One of the women in my YMCA water aerobics class brought her daughter with her, a lovely 16 year old who looked so much like LW that I did a double take. My immediate thought: "This is what LW will look like when she's sixteen." That made me feel good! Hope it works for you, too.<BR/><BR/>My brother, who is a professional photographer, is starting a chapter of "Flashes of Hope," which is a non-profit organization of photographers and make-up artists who go to hospitals and take professional-quality photographs of children being treated for cancer. Their web site is http://flashesofhope.org/ and you can see some photos there -- they are wonderful!<BR/><BR/>So of course I thought of you again. I read your blog every day and think of you a lot. "Love Through Action" is a constant motivator for kindness, though I haven't done anything worthy of writing about and posting; nevertheless it's in my heart all the time. As are you and your family.<BR/><BR/>I hope that we will meet some day. I am proud to call you a colleague.Berrysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209763327019181639noreply@blogger.com
