  Mom Died -- and I found out from an old friend!

  by BrendaCloutier in

  2. experiences

  ok, i'm writing this thru tears as i just found out in the last 5 minutes.

  my dad died in august, and they had been together just 1 or 2 weeks over 70 years married!

  i didn't expect her to last without him, and visa versa.. i just tried to call my sister, and no answer there.

  (((((Brenda)))))

  I wish I could hug you in person.

  From Mother Val, a prayer: All shall be well. All shall be well. In all manner of things, all shall be well.

  Don't know who Mother Val is, but I'm taking this with me tonight.

  Borat is an anti-Semitic, racist, homophobic misogynist with a mentally disabled brother (not pictured) who he talks about in several scenes. In one dinner party scene, he misunderstands a man who says he's retired and that's where my quote came from. I apologize if what I quoted offended you. I don't refer to people as the "r" word either.

  i don't often open up discussions on my beliefs or experiences in life, but i feel a need, so please excuse me if you feel it untoward.

  neither is this a poxy swan-song, i'm just opening up my heart a little.. today i had cause to reflect on a conversation i had with my [now ex-]wife shortly after my epithany.

  everything was so new and unknown.

  I read this thread at lunch today and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Guess I have to break down and post.

  Here's one thing I've been thinking about:

  They listen to all these stories about experiences and start wanting them themselves, and get disillusioned when they don't transpire. As with most things spiritual it works the other way around. You keep an open mind and the experience finds you.

  And here's another:

  What convinced you that you were speaking to "empty air"?

  And here's the part where I'd like to be articulate (open?) enough to explain why these words made me feel the way I do right now or even to explain what feeling that is, but I just don't have them (the words, that is). I suppose it'll just have to be good enough that I thought about it at all.

  An area that is of more interest to me is why a certain sensation should consistently accompany a desire to pray for someone far away, with a result that through the experience of hindsight I can now come to expect. With one sensation I can expect the result to be death, and with another sensation I can expect to shortly be overwhelmed with an empathic coordination with their innermost emotions (which sux when it's grief), and so on. These are not self generated, as I have experienced being woken in the middle of the night by such things, driving along a road, or being in the middle of a conversation when it occurs. Thus I have no way of providing evidence that could be subjected to scientific rigour.

  This is fascinating. I'd love to hear more of the details someday, either online or off.

  Ya know, it's threads like this that have kept me coming back here for the last five years. Just when I start to get bored or feel that it's all so repetitious, I read something that may or may not (jury's still out) change my way of thinking or give me the boot in the arse (about tit) that I need to keep trying what's never seemed to work before. Tonight I may just attempt to talk to "empty air" for the first time in years.

  i am already thinking of ideas.

  my sister had an online relationship with a man from holland (they are now married in the us) anyhow, they would send eachother packages and the coolest things he would send was different foods from there... cookies the us doesn't have, chocolate spread for toast.... this is my first gift exchange since i was a kid, so anyone have some ideas?

  ( is this kosher to ask?

  I love fresh babies, but the shipping's a bitch. SO I guess I'd like either something from your part of the world or something that tells me a little about you (whoever "you" are). Or if that's too vague and you like to take the easy way out - a DVD of "The Limey". Merry Christmas!

  about 5 months ago gumby had a knee operation, it never healed and the doctors here suck in a big way.

  so yesterday he and his wife went south to get a second opinion and maybe get this knee surgery healed up.

  so if you got it in you please pray for his speedy recovery and healing.

  I'm confused. You're not a JW, but JWs are willing to hang out with you and go on fishing trips? Also, since it's a long distance relationship, how have you been able to become best friends with her family? Why would they ask "Where's Joe?" if you don't live around them anyway?
