Prayers, Positive Vibrations Please

Oh my, I didn't see this thread...

My thoughts are with you and your family, Catalina. :rose:
 
It has been a traumatic time for us, but we have survived. I was particularly down today after seeing Francisco off at the airport, but I had a special lift when I was attending to things at my parent's home and had given up hope, after searching as requested by my mother, of seeing ever again some special things personal to my father's life. The phone rang and it was one of the neighbours who have been so wonderful and supportive for both my parents....she asked if I could wait for her and was soon at the door with a bag in hand. She handed it to me with a big hug and the words my father had given it to her the day of his death with instructions she make sure it was given to me personally and no-one else as he wished me to have the contents for myself and my children. Inside the bag were the things I had given up on finding along with old photographs of his parents and siblings, and himself. It was so beautiful to know he thought of us in those moments and felt as if he was sending me his love as she said he had mentioned was his intent. My children and I have sat together this evening opening each precious treasure, my telling them of the significance to my father of each piece as far as I knew, and the moments in my life in which they formed part of my own story. Though the pain remains, it has brought a little peace to my sorrow and helped the healing process we are all moving through in our own way.

Merciful God...

...always steps in when WE think all is lost...

You and your family are thought of often around my house. Be well until you are able to return and know that there are MANY hugs being sent to you daily.

Great news!! My mother is out of surgery and it went well as far as they can tell. I am told her first words were 'Gee, I must be a tough old bean...I'm still here!!' Hopefully she will continue to be okay, but the signs are good at the moment. Now I can concentrate on all the rest of the drama that has been surrounding the whole situation. Thanks to everyone here for being so thoughtful and supportive, it really helped.:)

*hugs* I am so glad that she came out of surgery fine

LOL, that gave me a much needed smile...thanks. I am getting there surprisingly, and though stressed with last minute errands and lots of finalising of family matters, I am counting the days until I am back home with the most wonderful Master on earth .sorry all you other wonderful Dominants, I know I am a little biased but it is what works for me. :D One week and I will be ready to jump that plane and fly back to his arms, and hopefully this will be the last time we have to spend any time apart.

So glad to hear things moving toward completion for you, Catalina! All my love until you return home.

I know that it's not my usual forte' and I haven't gotten to know you but I'm thinking good and positive thoughts for you and your family.
 
Catalina, I'm sorry for not responding sooner. As you know I am going through a tough time too. I don't pray, but you are in my thoughts.
 
Thanks to everyone for the support and caring

The caring I have felt from this community has gone a long way toward keeping me grounded in moments when I was tempted to just give in to every emotion I felt was flooding over me. While one trauma is over, I am concerned for my mother as she is having heart turns as a result of all that has taken place, and it is not outside the realm of possibility she could still lose her battle to survive. I think I am as prepared as I can be for that event, and spent a lot of time caring for her while I could. I am happy to say I am now back where I belong, with the Master who has gone beyond all expectations of love, support, and patience through this ordeal.....he has been everything I ever imagined a Master, friend, husband, and lover could be, and then some. More than ever before, I know this is where I belong, and where I am safest and happiest.

Have to say, as unwelcome as this time has been, it has reassured me knowing my philosophies and beliefs can remain strong through the greatest of tests. There have been moments when it has all seemed surreal, and moments when I have had to bite my tongue very hard to prevent me saying what I wanted to say, but realised would be wasted. LOL, that has been my learning from this I think....all the things I knew, or felt I knew in my head and heart before were highlighted in stark reality, but like I had been told many times before, there are some who will never face that reality and truth for what it is, nor take responsibility. I always in the past held a small shred of hope things could be different, but finally have accepted they can't, and that as painful as it is to accept that, it is just how it is and a result of the paths of many lives which have come together through time. It just is.

Has been a very philosophical and soul searching time for me. I have emerged from it a much stronger person, and I strangely enough, have found direction in the experience which has brought a new focus and dedication to my role as slave. A certain man here noticed the changes in the first hours after my return, and thankfully agreed they were welcome and positive. :)
