Dear Holly,
From the moment you were born I could tell you were a gentle soul. That's why I
named you Holly. "People with the name Holly have a deep inner desire for a
stable, loving family or community, and a need to work with others and to be
appreciated. They tend to be passionate, compassionate, intuitive, romantic, and
to have magnetic personalities. They are usually humanitarian, broadminded and
generous, and tend to follow professions where they can serve humanity. Because
they are so affectionate and giving, they may be imposed on. They are romantic
and easily fall in love, but may be easily hurt and are sometimes
quick-tempered."
You were always nurturing; whether it was your dolls, your brothers, or me. I
wanted you to pursue a career, but early on I could tell your heart was in
pursuing a family and home. When Corey put our newborn kittens in his shirt
pocket, over his heart, I knew he was the right partner for you. Before you
raised great kiddos you raised great kitties. I admire you both. You are the
best parents I know. You have created a lovely home and are raising beautiful,
talented, and caring children.
I know it hasn't been easy for you. I know what it is like to live with chronic
pain and try to take care of a home and raise a family. Living with chronic pain
is not only an assault on your body it is an assault on your mind. The
un-relentless torture of agony, limitations, and lack of understanding can bring
you to utter despair. The mind is more fragile than your body and without a
strong faith it is almost impossible to maintain. Even then, it is almost
impossible to continue without prayer support. Moses needed Joshua and Aaron to
hold his arms up when he was too weak to carry on. Please don't be reluctant to
ask for help.
I am so grateful you are surrounded by loving and caring people who support you
and lift you up in prayer. I pray you find healing and answers on your walk to
Emmaus. Open your heart to receive all the Lord has for you. Never let the world
harden you, touch the world with your gentle soul. What ever life has in store
for you, it is my hope that you laugh often, cry when needed, and love much.
Laughter warms the heart, a good cry releases the pain and love heals all. You will always be my baby...you will
always be loved!
God Bless You...Sending lots of blessings, prayers & love ♥ Mom
