A Haibun for Raffaelina34 total reviews
Comment from BethShelby
Thank you for this meaning Haibun. It was beautiful story. I really apprecate you including the video of Denzel Washington. I have appreciated his acting ablity, but I'm pleased to see a side of him I didn't know about. I have been praying for Ralf, and I have sent her personal messages to let her know I care. FanStory is a community of caring people who come to out support those who need our prayers and loving concern.

God bless you, sweet Sally, for this heartfelt and beautiful write. I pray for Ralf every day and beg God to let her live as comfortably as she can. I love the dear story of the family and how it showed God at work. Many of us have illnesses and to love "God we rise on legs that will not hold us, get into our wheelchairs, and roll through another day. You are so precious Sally and I love you!!

I love you too, Miss Sherry, from the first day we met on FanStory. I hope this blesses you as well and gives you hope and peace in your circumstances. Miraculously, God has extended my eyesight so that I can do some more writing. I know he loves it that I do these things in His name and for His purposes.
Thank you again for this sweet and kind review and generous stars. Love and blessings always, Sally XOs?xo?

Sally,
This is a well done haibun. It shows what a true loving marriage is and you indeed see God in thier love. Sad to hear about Raffaelina. I will put her on my prayer list.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Sometimes when life seems to much, we don't have to look far to realise there's others going through so much, and can still smile. A beautiful posting Sally, and I do send Raffaelina all positive thoughts.
Lovely words.
cheers.

This piece is excellent in every respect--smoothly flowing, vividly descriptive, and so very moving--defining what real love is and how it weathers all.

Hi Sally, I will put her in my prayers...I'm so sorry she is so sick...I'm sure she will love reading your story told...and your beautiful poem...God always holds us in his hands...He knows true love when He sees it...
your story had me in tears...my mom and dad watch Jeopardy all week...and even at 91...mom still knew the answers...
dad was her nurse about the last year of his life...even with a massive brain tumor...he still bathed and cooked for her...it's wonderful to have someone who loves you with all they are...
I love your story told my sweet friend...and love your poem...your picture is just beautiful...all very nicely written...love you...Linda xxoo

Your loving parents explains you! So glad to hear about this. My parents didn?t love each other at all I?m surprised they lasted as long as they did and made four children. I?m always so blessed to see the power of love, resident in the ordinary things: taking care of each other, making a meal together, and just loving on each other every day. I see God?s mighty power in the simple things.
Thank you so much again for the beautiful review and stars. Mostly, thank you for the gift that you are to me and so many.

and a wonderful friend...God has truly blessed me...
always welcome in everyway...much love...xxoo

This is such a sweet thing to do for Raffaelina. I had no idea that she was so sick. I will definitely send her a message. I remember when she was so supportive when Mastery was sick. She is a sweet lady.
You have done your good deed today, and I enjoyed your post.

Your story is a brief resume of what it means to truly love some-one and to serve that other person and God, with willingness and thankfulness. Your story was bot a pleasure to read, and a personal challenge!
