or what I would tell HIM, over and over again.....

because
my own words aren't making any sense today
and
the few that keep trying to escape through my chapped lips
tend to bruise my already tender heart
even when I whisper them
so
I'm just going to use these

Beth, I watched this yesterday when I saw the link posted on Kind Over Matter.
I was a puddle . A puddle.

And I can only think of seasons, and unexpected joy in each at just the right time.

{{{hugs}}}

Oh Honey, what's wrong? My heart actually sputtered emotional tears when I listened to this. It says everything, doesn't it? Why doesn't it make us feel better, though? I've got your back, you know. I would do anything to help you feel better. Do you want to talk? xoxoxxoxo

Take care. It will be okay.

I only wish I would have been able to witness this wonderful video when my son was younger and I was working from home and feeling isolated. This would have been the validation I needed. Today, I am thanking you for sharing it with other moms everywhere and I am heading over to Facebook to post it for more to see.

Thanks, Beth! It's incredibly lovely and true.

This is just wow. I don't have children, but it brought me to tears.you have the best heart! it makes me think of the saying, as I grew older the smarter my parents seemed to become...it is just one day the kids grow up. With loving thoughts, some day soon! Take care.

Beth, I can't presume to put myself in your shoes just now, but I do have sons who have, at various times in their lives, been a cause for worry and hurt, so I feel for you.

Just love him like you do. Love him and be steady with him.

And the video was quite beautiful. Not maudlin or overly anything - just right. I've sent it on to others.

Oh Beth I can't swallow anymore...somethings stuck in my troath. These words these images are making me feel just as it is.
I'm sending over the most wonderful beautiful hugs I can find deep within to enlighten your day. Thank you so much for opening your soul and sharing this with us.

The last words came on strong to me. I do matter! No matter what I do. I needed to see those words in order to get my photography all straigten out. I am who I am and I'm as good as it gets.
Sweet kisses from my lips to yours Dagmar

Jaime said...

oooohhhhh.

I had to change over from IE to Firefox so I could watch the videos you have posted (IE won't let me for some reason) and I am so glad I did. I cried as I watched Pink again...and shed a few more tears as I watched this beautiful piece on what it is to love your child.
I am SO glad I came to visit you this morning, dear Beth. What a wonderful thing to be moved in this way so early in the day...what will the rest of the day hold???
