It's the quiet ones who get to meet Jesus first, I guess!<BR/><BR/>My Bob - was 'Bob' to everyone but me. His name was Robert so I decided later in life to call him 'Rob'! Only I was allowed to do that. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad that Edie connected us and that you touched base with me today on my blog.<BR/><BR/>I spoke at a grief group last Thursday and there was another women who lost her husband in a terrible accident. She was married to him for 36 years [she beat my 34 years]. She is still grieving. <BR/><BR/>I spoke about connecting the past [before their home-going] - to the future. There seems to be a puzzle piece or two missing - until those middle chapters are written down. <BR/><BR/>Writing what you posted here - really helps - so the puzzle [gap] can once again, connect you to your own future.<BR/><BR/>With God's help, as hard as it is, girlfriend, keep moving FORWARD!<BR/><BR/>May the LORD bless you!<BR/><BR/>Looking UPward and Choosing JOY,<BR/>Stephanie<BR/>[Time to FLY]TRUTH SHARERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069583768409534620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807352795883538836.post-3989980304457543222009-03-21T14:56:00.000-05:002009-03-21T14:56:00.000-05:00Marla, you've weaved these names into a wonderful ...Marla, you've weaved these names into a wonderful story.

We had a Mary Ann and Mary Lu so we all had our middle names used. My family calls me Suzie which I have shortend to Sue in later years. Doctors call me Mary since that is what is on my insurance card.

As a child and to his family, he went by his middle name. Adult years and Navy used his first name and I met him by his first name.
