It's not for naught, thanks for the lesson, Papa

Hey Papa,

I was thinking ...

My life has been and continues to be blessed by the presence and impact from and of parents dedicated towards being like Jesus' hands on earth ...

Because of You

I think this has been both a blessing and a curse.

The good part of me seeing the blessing, while my fallen side sometimes feeling burdened by this "curse" of knowledge that has shown me the real reason behind and for our presence on this earth.

I know that this here and now isn't what it's all about ... that our present is temporary and we are but just passing through. And your presence, in my life confirmed my conviction in that "even if" our entire reason behind everything that we (at least know we should) do would somehow be (it's not ;-) for naught ... it would still be worth it to live for Him.

I miss you ...

Thanks for tearing up while watching Shadowlands ... you've taught me so much about living ... xoxo

Happy 2011 ... one year closer to being forever with our Papa ... much left to do for many in the meantime ...

You know what I really miss Papa?

I miss your funny ...

We used to be able to go on about the dumbest things for hours ... and even if no one else around found the humor in the joke ... it didn't matter ... as long as I knew for certain that you would get it ... and every time (amazingly) you did ... ;-)

I used to think I was hilarious .. but since you've been gone ... well ............... let's just say I've been forced to invest more energy into the non-funny parts of me too ...

We miss you ... that's not ever going to go away, is it? :'(

"Cope With Hope" Getting Through the Holidays: Special Radio Series With Susan Murphy Milano

How often do we wake up in December and wish we could pull the covers back over our heads and skip right over the holiday season?

For whatever the reasons, many of us have a difficult time getting into the spirit of joy, and the holidays seem to make it worse.

During the hiatus of Susan's show on Here Women Talk, from December 20 to December 30, she will be doing a one hour show each morning (Mon-Thurs) at 10am ET on BlogTalk Radio, to give those who need a boost for the day, something to help you through it, even if only a brief hour.

See the schedule below for the lineup of wonderful guests!
