I do not wish to share this post.

Abby's Mommy
I have a tear in my eye as I read your post...not for saddness...but because I know what you said to be true...I knew there was something extra sensitive about you. The holy spirt comforted me as I read your truth. That is where our hope lies..that's why we are soppose to try and push forward leaving things in the past.....not forgetting but moving forward.
WoW, you see God took that ugly accident and gave you and insight that will help you through the short time we have here...so we are soppose to LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE AND LOVE.
When I was driving the other day, I had a thought that I need to stop dwelling on death and start making the most of my days left...not to waste the minutes I have left.
There was a man once..50ish..he loved his Satr. mornings, infact he lived for them,,,coffee, newspaper, sunny days. He started thinking how many Satrdays would he have left if he lived to be 75..so he took two jars and he counted the Satrdays in marbles..all the way up to 75 yrs of age..from that point on every Satr morning he would take a marble out of one jar and place it in the next...it gave him a visual of how much time he may have left.
I thought that was an interesting e'mail I had gotton.
You have come a long ways since you first came to LS. Thinking of you. and giving you a cyber hug. Love Pamela

Dear Abby's Mommy,

I would be very interested to hear more about what you saw, felt and heard during your experience, but only if you are ready to share. Thank you so much for sharing what you have so far, because it gives all of us hope.

Abby is definitely above the thunder now. Maybe they are having a fun tournament of Doggie (and Kitty and other Pet) Bowling right now!

Take care,
Jenny

Dear Abby's Mommy,

I am so sorry that you had a hard time sleeping from the storm and your memories of Abby. I just LOVE the thought of our furbabies being above the thunder now. What a wonderful thing to visualize.

I was SO interested while reading about your experiences from the accident. I am also VERY glad that you have come here and spread the message for us all that nothing ends with death. We all talk about our faith and believing that. For you to provide some real life experience for us is awesome. Like Pamela said (she is so GOOD with her insights!) God took that devastating experience for you and turned it into a special gift.

You have been through SO much! You have been through troubled relationship problems with your daughter, your terrible loss of precious Abby, and now to read that you also survived an accident that doctors say you should not have. You are SO strong!!! We have seen you come a long way here at the forum too. You are such an inspiration!

God Bless You and your family!

I too love the idea of our babies being above the thunder and lightening. It really thrills me through and through. Our darlings are safe where nothing frightening can ever touch them again. They are safe from sickness, death, cancer or any disease forevermore.

I too hang on to our babies being in Heaven with us with every fiber of my being. Nothing or noone will ever make me believe otherwise.

When you are able to tell us more about your accident my husband and I would love to hear it. We believe that God can do anything that there is nothing impossible for Him. Hang on to that wonderful miracle and when you feel you can't go on just whisper the Name of Jesus. When no one else understands our pain and others may have forgotten about our babies, He is there to comfort us and give us strength. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Hugs
Love, Ann

Dear Abby's Mom,

I know what you mean about thunderstorms. Stymy hated them, so I would sit with him until they were over, even in the middle of the night. The first time there was a storm after he passed I felt releived because he wasn't afraid any more of storms. However, I missed taking care for him during the storms.

I have never had a NDE but I beleive that what you say is true. I think more people should know about them becasue they bring a message of hope. I know when Stymy died I reread alot of the NDE books I had on the subject. Thanks for your story it just makes me feel good to here from someone who didn't write a book for money.
And like Jenny I would love to hear about what you saw.

Best wishes,
Vicki

Dear Abby's mom-

I love the thought of our furbabies being above the thunder! Shiloh was never afraid of the thunder, but I've always been a little scared of thunder and lightening...Shiloh use to comfort me during thunderstorms.

I, too, would find it interesting to hear more about your NDE. And, I, too, believe that we'll be reunited with all our loved ones at some point.

Take care,
Kathleen

PS - I have one of Shiloh's dog tags that I carry with me everywhere I go, when I feel anxious, I hold her dog tag in my hand like a worry stone...it brings me a great deal of comfort. Perhaps you could do something like that when you're in the basement alone.

Dear Abby's Mommy -

Your post was truly inspiring! You've been through so much. I don't think you realize just how strong you really are! Thank so much for posting as much as you did. Reading it really did help me have more faith and if you're ever ready to talk more about your NDE and terrible accident, we'll all be here to listen and support you.

Love,
Lynn
