For the love of my life.
 

I am lighting this candle
For the love of my life.

She is a very private person but I feel special blessings and light needs to come her way now.

Many medical issues are happening and now have her flat down.
Some may be exremely bad. But I am hopeful will not be.

I am asking for a lil energy to go her way to be able to get up and fight this.

Thank you in advance as well.

So, bridges have been on my mind lately,
http://static.panoramio.com/photos/o...l/24743840.jpg

creating a bridge of support for the self...
to help be connected to healing agents...
people,
furfriends,
god,
the universe,
prayer...candles,
calling someone who really knows you,
nature,
the sounds of the wind, moving water, a whinny,
food and drink that soothes the soul,
music,
reading a favorite poem once a day,
talking with someone who will say it so you can hear it,
a hot soak,
sitting up in a tree,
going to a meeting,
learning how to ask....for a dinner, to take the kids for 3 hours, for someone to go to the store to pick up 10 things you need in the cupboard, but you can't stand the store today,
learning to sit a be still for 5 minutes day,
going for a ride...the choices are endless.

Set up a bridge of support or nourishment for yourself or help someone else figure out what they need, put the tools in place so they are there when you need them they are there, and hopefully the need will happen less if the care for the self is ongoing.

Blessed Be

Gathering more light for Vic, and his family as they surround him in love and light.

For my sweet girl suffering from separation anxiety... and for me... that I remember to trust in her process and stay present in knowing that she is ok.
:vigil:

:

Candles, and love and light for my daughter Leah, my ex wife Peggie , and the grandest kids Trinity Hope 4, and Dustin Bradley, 5, and Paul. Leah went back with her abusive husband after over a year's separation. They are trying to make a go of it again. We hold our breath again.

Paul is to be stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio after this last sojourn in Afghanistan. 2 years ago, they had family counseling and were told it would may be better to divorce. His rages have sent her flying home several times. They are relocating from South Dakota soon. Far away from our arms here in So. Calif. :candle:For the Kidz, big and little.

:candle::candle::candle::candle: and for Peggie, like any Mom, just sits in fear that the next time Leah may not be able to call one of us. We both know what it is like.

We Remember
 

For soothing peace as this day passes...
We remember, we learn, and we grow...
We Bless Each Other...
Amen, Ashe, and Blessed Be

...Lighting candles for recovery from disasters, for healing and wholeness, for celebrating completion, for those we have lost, for new endeavors, and for that which we do not know...

Blessed Be

I lit a candle for my friend who was caring for her nephew and niece a long time ago. She is still there taking care of them. It is not easy and she is a young person. I am absolutely in awe of her. So I am lighting a candle to send light and strength to her and all the rest of the parents of kids who did not have a place to go.

Prayers for Theo's StepMom
 

I knew when she called.......
 

I light a A candle for my Ex of 21 years, and a cyber request to think about her and wish her well. :candle:

Peggie called me Friday night asked me to come over Sat.. Said she needed to talk to me. We have chatted over the years since we have been separated, but she never asked me to come over like that.

Spending yesterday with a woman I spent 21 years with, and finding out her news and health is not good was shocking and I am at a loss for words, but come here because I can pour it out. I had picked up my paints and walked away, from her, for both of our survivals. We both kept painting, me of places I traveled, and of of wild ferocious big cats and animals.

She kept painting too. I saw my Ex's beautiful paintings of the daughter we raised. Portraits of Leah when she entered Kindergarten and the most beautiful of her at high school graduation.. Since I had seen Peggie last she has lost so much weight, and looks very ill. Yet, there were many new family portraits. Paintings and the memories of good times, of the flowers I planted in the backyard, and pictures and memories of living in the house we bought together. The memories of the love we once had came flooding back. She had done a self portrait wearing the clothes she had on when we met, with her once long dark hair falling around a beautiful face. She asked if I wanted the sculpture she did of my Mother , which holds the place of honor on the electric organ. She asked if I wanted her portrait.

She asked what she should do with the house, and where she should move, as she is ill and doesn't think she has long to live. She is seeing a cardiologist and a pulmonary specialist. It sounds like she is getting the medical run-around and she knew that pisses me off, so didn;t call me. It was Saturday, they were gone. She said I called you , as you are the only one I trust at the end of my life. You can make these tough decisions. She asked if I could pick up her meds, and get her Coffee Ice Cream. I got her Oreo's and peanut butter and bagels, and nilla wafers, and canned peaches and chocolate milk too, because I know she loves that stuff and is skinny as a rail now.

I sit here, now wishing I had MADE her go to the hospital yesterday, even though she said no. Sit here now, knowing she is more important than the Steelers game that comes on in 3 hours. Knowing I want her to go in the hospital, but her fear of not getting out alive, and leaving her kitty kat at home prevents a rational woman from getting help. I suppose I would be the same way. Knowing that the kids are spread out around the country, her brother is in Tenn. and not having famiy near by must be scary as hell, and having to call the "Rock" as she called me, must have been hard for her. The Rock sits her and wonders what now. (f)

Candle lit for the Rock and Peggie
:candle:


Please take her anyway. you are all in my prayers.

We have been in the ER since noon. She is getting O2 and lasix, and looks worlds better. Waiting on CAT scan results. ER Doc is great, waiting on blood test follow-up and Peg's output. Came home to feed my criters, get a jacket and head back to the ER. Doc says she'll go home in a few hours- been a long time since I slept on that couch.

:candle: :candle: :candle:
for me..for Wednesday..for bravery...for peace....for not feeling so alone!
