You're a wonderful person to think of others as you're also trying to help your own heart.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24670020.post-60627037874744903332007-08-29T08:47:00.000-04:002007-08-29T08:47:00.000-04:00I know that this was a difficult decision for you....I know that this was a difficult decision for you.

Sometimes you need to walk away from it for awhile before you can walk toward it again with the clear head and energy that's needed. Or not. There's nothing wrong with deciding this is it, too.<BR/><BR/>Use your vacation to whatever end you need to - to come to peace with your decision, to mourn your decision. And know that you'll come out the other side of this soon. Nothing is forever. Especially this.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290007044439581358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24670020.post-26407193278130214942007-08-28T22:37:00.000-04:002007-08-28T22:37:00.000-04:00This post makes me so sad.

Whatever you choose or do, we'll all be here.<BR/>Please try to have a fun vacation and hopefully you'll be feeling better when you return.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269753697770320385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24670020.post-62032974641714410312007-08-28T11:47:00.000-04:002007-08-28T11:47:00.000-04:00That purging will be difficult.

It will be difficult seperating the emotional attachment from the logical aspects, but please try. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure your friend will be able to point you in the right direction for donating the items, but in the mean time I would also check any women's shelters locally. <BR/><BR/>A minor tip in case you get overwhelmed with sentiment: take some pictures of especially meaningful toys or clothes to put in Chris's memory book with stories about them and why they were special.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864339996118337420noreply@blogger.com
