I can't imagine the loss and feelings you must be experiencing. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what you mean be "the theme of wishes", however. I think we all have dreams, wishes, and aspirations. They may not all come true, and life is full of ups and downs,...thrills and terrible pain. But I do like the quotes that remind us that sending good wishes can brighten another's day and having our own wishes and dreams can inspire and motivate us.<BR/><BR/>When we experience a terrible loss in our lives, whether it's the death of a child or the loss of a 'normal' child to the grips of autism, I think we have two choices. We can become bitter toward God for not sparing us the pain or we can admit that we need him all the more and that we need his care and direction more than ever. <BR/><BR/>We are never promised that life will be easy and we are never promised that all of our wishes will come true. But we do have a promise that someday we will see the reasons and purposes of all that we have experienced. It really isn't about us at all. It's about God. Some day we will know the answers. We just need to trust and have faith that God knows best.<BR/><BR/>Big hugs to you! I hope you will come back and comment again!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-11442727263036172662009-02-25T21:43:00.000-05:002009-02-25T21:43:00.000-05:00Cool pix! :)Cool pix! :)Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-2284196410705735322009-02-25T21:13:00.000-05:002009-02-25T21:13:00.000-05:00I love this post.

I've been a reader for awhile but never posted until now. <BR/>I admire what seems to be your "quiet strength". My perception of you is one of warmth and kindness to your family always.<BR/>My experience in this life is different than yours, but yet, I'm sure they could be intertwined somewhere down the line. <BR/>We lost our son, Joshua in a car accident at the age of 16. That was November 15, 2003. Words will never describe the depth of our pain. Then and now. Joshua, like Taylor, played basketball. He played the point. His passion was basketball. He was active in our youth group at church and was very kind to everyone. Children and older people alike. When he passed away one of the comments that I remember hearing over and over was how they would miss his smile.<BR/><BR/>All things aren't so bad...we're expecting our first grandchild anyday now!<BR/>And I have Justin still at home with us. <BR/>When I talk about Joshua, especially to someone new, I tend to paint a very blue picture. We are picking up the peices, they just don't go back in the same position anymore. <BR/>Thanks for blogging.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613560832462002975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-6355358998635504762009-02-25T15:11:00.000-05:002009-02-25T15:11:00.000-05:00A beautiful post, it has given me lots to think ab...A beautiful post, it has given me lots to think about for a while.<BR/><BR/>Hugs~~~~LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052521904055600170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-57485277642188531452009-02-25T15:01:00.000-05:002009-02-25T15:01:00.000-05:00I so love this...think I will use it in my girls' ...I so love this...think I will use it in my girls' scrapbooks!
