too much for a little one to bear(,) in my opinion. :)
Such a poignant write given my sons just lost their father today to pancreatic cancer. It had been a long, arduous battle and their relationship strained, but still...it was a loss. It is hitting both Keston and Trenten hard.
Your words are so very poignant and relatable. I, too, have had it both ways. When dad wasn't drinking, and working, we had it all...when alcohol reared it's ugly head, the abuse and poverty struck. He finally took his life two days before my 16th birthday, just before my mother was to file for her second divorce...
I can relate to this well written story on so many levels...It's clean, concise, succinct, and relatable. The premise is one that is timely and full of powerful testimony that life is what you make of it, not what is given to you! Keep up writing, dear. I'll keep trying to come back. I'm reviewing for sanity's sake...

Thank you my dear friend, amd on such a day as you are experiencing. I hope if ithis helped at all. We have many treasured moments and times in our relationships that do mold and make us into the people we are. I am who I am because of my experiences and God?s grace in all of it. It makes the good seem even better. I appreciate your time, critique and outstanding review.
Love,
Sal

You are so right. I've always said I'm very wealthy. I have wonderful sons and family, and good friends. I know, too, that God loves me and wants only the best for me. I enjoyed reading this, as I, too, have fallen from financial wealth.

Thank you so much, damommy. I appreciate your excellent review and kind words. I am glad to hear that you could relate. I will be praying for you that your finances improve. Food on the table and our bills being paid make for less stress. It made my mom crazy when she was unable to get the simple needed things.
All my best,
Sally

Comment from Miss Sherry
I want you to know, though saying it here may be considered inappropriate, I respect and adore you. Your simplicity of style and your unfailing love of our Savior is such a comfort to me. You minister, dear one, without a clue you are doing so. Your writing has blessed me over and over. This story reaches me in a tough time, but I read carefully and take heart that faith in God will sustain me. Bless you for being you - what else could anyone ask!

I am crying as I read this. If I have done anything kind or helpful to you, I am thankful. You have had a tough go of it, much harder than my situation. I admire you right back. I appreciate your review so much and your love and support?like a dear sister birthed from another mother.
All my best,

Comment from patcelaw
I can relate to your story in many ways. My father did not drink, however he had a violent temper which he couldn't or refused to control We kids were always dressed well. I wore dresses made from the feed bags when bought for the chickens, I had a new pair of shoes once a year no matter how much my feet had grown. But dad would abuse mom and we kids at the drop of a hat. When I finally met and married my husband, I experience love which was unconditional for the first time in my home life. In 1959 after we married, I came to the Lord and He has blessed me with the greatest riches, Those riches are grace, mercy compassion and love, Nothing get better than those four things. Patricia

Comment from robyn corum
Sally,
One of the things that I like about FanStory is that it can be an outlet when we want to let things go. I don't often want to, but I have found those moments when I just have something to say.
This seems like one of those moments. You've had a special weekend -that caused you to reflect on the past and kind of put some things in perspective. Life is often like that, isn't it? We are constantly learning, growing, understanding more and more. Realizing which parts are important and which parts are simply unimportant 'fluff'. (distractions.)
BTW: Very cool line:
'But the sad song sang it's second verse.'
Thanks so much for sharing!

Many confuse money with happiness and find that the two are often uneasy bedfellows. You have shown in this where true wealth lies. It is to be found in the heart, not in the pocket.
