Gratitude for the Soup Community

Blog Posted by Kathleen Kroll: 11/25/2016 10:54:00 AM

 

 

It's the day after TG and I am so grateful for the Soup Community.  I sense that each of us is struggling in some area of life.  Yet, we use our writing as a tool to bring beauty and light to our own spirits and  to the community at large.  What can be better than this?

Thankfully, my daughter had a good day on TG.  Appreciate all of you who responded to my post.  Unfortunately, my brother, who had a stroke, last Jan, had a seizure and is in the hospital.  Our family bonds are strong and we will meet this challenge together.  Yet it is sad.  I still miss the person he was.  There's that quality of acceptance vs nonacceptance again.

I was able to talk to all my kids and grandkids over the holiday YEAH!

Prayers are with him and you and your family.. Pain of hurt suffers when it's someone close... My little brother that is just a year older than my middles son 46 for the second time a week ago had had three more stent in his heart that is a total of 5 now... he still has 2 more blockage at 50% but doctors won't do anything until it's 75% :( the little heart attacks are very hard on him and I am not ready to lose him either Prayers and Hugs
