Prayed for you, Ashley. I prayed that the Lord would bind up your broken heart and comfort you as you go through hard times in this life. :hugs Every night and every storm must end sometime, so I hope the sun rises on you soon and warms your spirit...your sore and tired spirit. :hugs

I don't know how you feel. But I know how I felt when I watched my Daddy take his last breath after a horrible 2 years of painful bone cancer. I know how I felt when my first baby was born with no skull and died at 2 days old. I know how I felt when my beloved grandfather died. I was devastated. I was crushed. I thought I would never get over it. I know how I felt when a baby squirrel that fell out of a tree, that I was bottle feeding, convulsed and died in my hands. I bawled and squalled like the world was coming to an end. Over a squirrel.

That said, yes you do get over it. No, you never forget. But God wraps his loving arms around you and he loves you. God doesn't cause bad things to happen. Bad things happen, people die, terrible things happen because there is sin in the world. God grieves with you. Jesus, your savior is there for you.

My little Desirae was born on August 8, died on the tenth and buried on August twelve. Thirty two years ago. Life goes on. I was blessed with 2 healthy children. God rains blessings on us.

You will deal with all that has been heaped on you. You are a strong woman, stronger than you even know. The geese were, like you say, the last straw. Even a strong woman like yourself has to have a moment to break down, fall apart, and cry it all out. Then get up, dust off the seat of your pants and get back to life, because for all it's heartaches, life is good.

I hope you find another pair of geese. Name one after your mother and one after your friend. It might sound silly, but I have a mule named after my mother-in-law, the sweetest woman to ever walk the earth and it is special for my DH to have an animal named after his mother.

Well no real life hugs for me but I got cheesecake!
Cheesecake... can't fix it but sure can't hurt...
just curious though if you lost lost them or if they passed ...
and if they passed within 24 hours of receiving them... perhaps there was something wrong and they can be replaced? We guarantee health for so long as long as they are duly diligent. Doesn't fix the feelings of losing these two but financially may remedy so you can get another pair.

It looks like they flew out of their pen into the main pasture, then went over that fence and went into the 50+ acres next to us.

I just wanted to say thank you all. Thank you for your prayers, support and :hugs. I just wanted to update y'all and tell you I'm doing a little better now. Still a little bummed of course, losing family is never easy, however the little things in life aren't bogging me down as much now.

I settled the defaulted credit card out of court!

I'm hoping to buy some goslings this spring. Maybe they will bond with me and not want to run off :idunno

We had a house flood, oh back in I think August, and am finally getting my new flooring! So excited about having real floors again.

So again thank y'all for your council and love. :hugs
