about ode2joy

I enjoy life and the beauty that exists around me.  One reason I love photography is I may help make someone else open their eyes to the wonder that exists everywhere.  Another reason is: my father loved photography and this is something I inherited from him. I like to think he would be proud of me. I have been married 35 years and have a 25 year old son.  I am a nurse and love people.

Hey,I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.You and your family are in my prayers,you are a very strong woman in dealing with this like you are.May God poure his blessings out on you and your family.I pray that God gives you all comfort,strength ,and peace at this time.God bless you (((((Hugs))))

Sending love and many prayers your way.

My sincerest condolences my friend.......

If there's anything you need please let me know!

{{{HUGS}}}

ode,I was so sad when I read your blog about hubby, but, also able to rejoice in my spirit in taking comfort in something you had said he said the other night when making the decision concerning his treatment, "I'm resdy to go home"...that comes from a man who knows his savior.------ 1 Timothy c. 6 v 12==Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.Hank now has his brand new body that is perfect in every way and dancing with the angels.

You are very welcome. I have tried to find an Author for it but everywhere lists it as Anonymous.

I am truly sorry for your loss, I can not begin to imagine. The mere thought of losing a loved one is enough to overwhelm me. You project a strength that I doubt I could ever find, I hope that you find comfort the words of friends and strangers, and that you have peace in the knowledge that even those that do not know you care about you and wish you only the best. Take care, and know that if there is anything you need that we will be here for you.

Elaine- You should put a bio of your husband's life on your profile. I'm sure many of us would enjoy reading it and getting to know him better. May time and friendships heal your pain.

I'd rather be able to tell you in person, I am so sorry for your family's loss. However, there's no pain on that chariot and no limit on your husband's new life, and I bet he knew that good things were coming his way!

My sincere sympathy to you and yours.

Terri

Elaine, I'm right down the road and if I can do anything at all, please don't hesitate...Gingerleigh225@yahoo.com

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Elaine, I had every intention on seeing you yesterday but my husband was just too sick to watch the baby and I couldn't bring her. Please let me know if there is anything at all that you need. I will see you soon. I'm sorry for your loss and you are a sweet lady who deserves the best.

You and your family are in my prayers. May God give you great peace and comfort during this time of mourning.

I cannot begin to imagine what you're feeling right now. Please know that you, your son and the entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know that Hank is by your side now along with our Lord and Savior. They will help you get through these upcoming days and beyond. Please take care...give your son a hug from GB and know that your many Golo friends are here for you!

I'm so sorry for loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Elaine,

At times there are simply no words that can comfort the pain and loss of one's dear husband or wife. The intimate bond between the two can only be felt amidst them. Having met you once before, I could tell you were a warm, honest, and loving soul.

You blessed your husband with your presence and made his life a treasure beyond his dreams. The lord has called him home at this time and you are left with your strength and faith to aid you in these dark times.

I wish nothing more for you than the peace of knowing he is in an eternal place free of today's many struggles. Your life will continue until you too, like all of us.....receive that "call from home". And at that time...you will see your dear husband again....

(((((((((((((((((((((((((Elaine))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))

so sorry for your loss...thinking of you.

{{{HUGS}}}

I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's passing, Elaine.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

:-(

It's ok to smile. It's healing to cry. And it's love when you do them both at the same time.

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your husband..Please know that you have been and will continue to be in my heartfelt prayers as you walk through your grief..May Gods love pour down on you and your family, and may peace come upon you all knowing that your husband is now in the heavenly arms of Jesus...(((Ode)))

Still thinking about you Elaine. I know you probably have your hands full, but if there's anything you need give me a holler.

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. I know this is a difficult time. Don't be afraid to feel...and show your emotions...and if you ever just need to talk, or blow some steam, you come visit me!

(hugs)

Sorry Elaine, I thought you were already in my friends. You should have been a long time ago. When ever you are ready, we should have lunch again. That was fun.

Well Elaine, I've never written one, but I would start with where he was born, then just add in anything he did growing up that was a significant accomplishment or something that would be interesting/ different. Schooling, career, hobbies, faith, military. Just let it roll and don't worry about length. I'm sure all your friends will find it a good read. Then when you finish it, give it a good edit. Have fun. You'll find it therapeutic too.

((((((((HUGS))))))))

I'm here for you, anything you need, I'm here!

Prayers are on there way!

I've Googled it over and over. I'm sorry, I can not find an Author. So I guess it is "Author Unknown".

Again I would like for you to know that you're in my prayers, and I'm sorry for your loss.

I just wanted to add my thoughts for you and your family during this difficult time. Whenever you are ready, I found this group to be extremely helpful: http://www.griefshare.org/ Remember to take care of yourself, too!

Hi Ode -

My brother took the car to work this morning.

Can I come by another time?

With love.

God bless.

RB

Dear Ode, I have just leaned of the passing of your husband. I can not imagine what you must be feeling or going through. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead. May God bring you comfort and peace.

Elaine, you're in my thoughts and prayers. Your strength of spirit during this tim e is an inspiration

Hi Ode! Remember we met at the Golden Corral lunch. In most cases, I call people by their GOLO names. I hope you don't mind. I am touched by your loss, perhaps a bit more so since I have met you. But in that short time we were together at lunch, I could tell you were a fine lady, 'gold-plated' so to speak. I saw your blog about the memorial service, but I don't think I can make it. Consider these comments an 'e-sympathy card' of my condolances. con't

Hi there Ode, I hope things are going well with you and I'm sorry for the lost of your husband. Sure it might get kinda loney, but there will be friends around to help out with that.

I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for you nightly. ((((HUGS))) to you!!!

LOL ode2joy. I have a warped sense of humor, so the Glowsticks nick came as a brain phart moment, lol. I was Blowup Doll With Chat Ambitions before that. =)

LOL! A friend who is a nurse was telling me about different things that people come into the ER with that is "stuck" inside them. I asked had anyone ever thought of using a glowstick as a contraceptive. She laughed hard and said no. It just kind of jumped into my mind, lol. So, I went with it and the rest is history. =)

Just wanted to stop by and let you know that I'm thinking of you. {{{hugs}}} And again, I'm so sorry for your loss....

Beth

My feelings exactly! Why waste calories on anything else! LOL!!! {{hugs}}

Beth

{{{Elaine}}} Hope you're doing well. I was just thinking of you and wanted to pop in and send you a virtual hug. When you feel ready for visitors, please, let me know. I'd love to meet you and perhaps get together with a small group of goloers for lunch. Email me, if you like. Gingerleigh225@yahoo.com

((((Ode)))) I had you on my mind and decided to stop by and say I'm thinking of you and Michael. Still praying for you.

That sounds nice. I hope you have a relaxing trip and I'll look forward to your return. :)

Hey,had you on my mind and stopping by to tell you how sorry I'am over the loss of a love one.I did not know,you and your family are in my prayers. (((((Hugs)))))

Hey Elaine. How have you been doing? Have you worked on the Bio any? Still thinking about you.

Hi {{{{Elaine}}}}........ You made my day by just stopping in here. It looks like you've made everybody start passing out {{{HUGS}}}!!!!! You have a lot of friends in here....

Hi Elaine! It's REALLY good to see you back in here! I'm doing good. Considering what you are going through, you seem to be doing ok too. I'm glad of that. It's a sure sign that time is beginning to heal the massive wound. I know it must hurt so much and my heart goes out to you.

When I lost my Mother, coming back to Raleigh after it was "finalized", the four-hour drive was like I was in a stooper. I just couldn't believe what had happened. But I had too. The radio didn't help much at all. My mind was fixed on losing Mom... The most soothing was being around those I cared about.

Sorry I missed you Elaine. I was on the phone talking to my best friend over in Asheville. I love to photograph nature..especially sunsets, water, and animals. I used not to have a good camera. But since I got one, I LOVE taking pictures!

...Yes, we'll talk tomorrow. You bet! And you're right about listening to music making it worse. And by the way, I love the Heart sisters. I had 8-tracks of them and Bob Segar, Pink Floyd, Doobie Bros., Lez Zepplin, Aerosmith...those were the days. Ok...look for me tomorrow. I will be writing you....and thinking about you too...hang in there. Time is on your side.

Elaine, I will keep you in my prayers. I know how hard the "settling in" period can be. In some ways, I think it is more difficult than the first few days. (((hugs to you))). If you need a shoulder, I'm here.

Good morning Elaine! How's the weather over there in western SC? I bet it's cooler there than it is here!

I'm happy to hear that you are ready to get back in the groove of things again. Your brother and his wife seem to be really kind people. It's good that they are pampering you and I know you appreciate that a whole lot.
