It's been a while...
I've not...Hi Eileen,<br />It's been a while... <br /><br />I've not been able to visit many of my blog friends these past weeks. But tonight, you were on my mind, and so here I am. I've been reading your past posts for over an hour already!<br /><br />This is a long comment, so I decided to just email you the rest of it...<br /><br />Well, all I really want to say to sum up is what my friend Amrita (from Yesu Garden) said. She said that the most important thing for her in blogging is the relationship among blog friends. Otherwise reading another person's blog would be just like leafing through a glossy magazine.<br /><br />That was an insight that really struck me, for she is so right, isn't she?<br /><br />Some people drop by your blog, and leave without even saying hello. Whenever possible, I try to read up, and then stay a while to share what's on my heart. I don't really like reading blogs hurriedly...reading only a few at a time (one or two, three at the most) is what I do... to give justice to what the blog writer has taken time and effort to write.<br /><br />Well, enough said. I do appreciate you, dear Eileen.<br /><br />Love<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-70940730376247716072009-12-09T23:19:49.273-05:002009-12-09T23:19:49.273-05:00Hi Eileen,

I wish all of us could be together right now to be there for Diana, I know this is going to be a hard time for her. A few days before her mother passed away, she sent me the most uplifting email, and it helped me through my troubled days...I think we are all with her in heart.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17172951650704356612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-68642148725026593012009-12-09T21:51:00.685-05:002009-12-09T21:51:00.685-05:00What a lovely tribute to Diana and her mother, I h...What a lovely tribute to Diana and her mother, I have tears in my eyes picturing you singing this song to your parents.....you are so caring, hope all is going well....big hugs to Jayden and Mia:-)<br /><br />PS did you get my e-mails, xoxoBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-83638997585173707042009-12-09T20:40:11.230-05:002009-12-09T20:40:11.230-05:00So very tender and loving!!!

We that know the Lord are going home, we just don't always know when. <br /><br />I'm praying for Diana...this will be a sad and difficult time for her, especially with Christmas so near. Losses at this time seem to be amplified...she will need the presence of the Lord to see her through. I'm glad she has such a wonderful friend in you...You have a big heart, so full of love for others...you are a blessing, and I know you will help comfort Diana's pain right now.<br /><br />God bless you, Eileen!<br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369867469773842215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-82478538809469765812009-12-09T10:52:33.166-05:002009-12-09T10:52:33.166-05:00You are such a sweetheart, Eileen.

I am praying the weather doesn't prevent us.

I love that yousang it to your parents.<br />My thoughts are with Diana and also of my own mother. Mother had planned and paid for her own funeral a few years ahead of time...She wanted an old hymn "Come Morning" played, but could never find a recording of it. Several months before she passed I found it at a flea market by chance. It too is a beautiful song.<br /><br />She died at dawn one morning...it's as if she knew. This is the ending chorus: <br /><br />Come morning, I'll walk by the river<br />And I'll rest 'neath the evergreen tree.<br />And I'll carry my cross thru the midnight.<br />Come morning, there's glory for me. <br /><br />Wish we could have a physical presence with Diana, but my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as are all of us Villagers.<br /><br />Love to you Eileen and Di,<br />WandaWanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-24935924674773747152009-12-09T01:50:34.878-05:002009-12-09T01:50:34.878-05:00I have never even heard of that song before and it...I have never even heard of that song before and it is absolutely beautiful! The music even without the words is amazing. I'm listening to it again now. I wish I had a cd of it...I think I will look into that.<br /><br />I feel sorry for Diana. So so hard losing one's mom. Today is my Mom's birthday and she would be 80, so of course I've been thinking about her all day long. This post is very timely for me too. Thank you Eileen, and please give my best to Diana.Grandma Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587160523698527979noreply@blogger.com
