OT: But not really 'cause this NG is all about loving too!!! PS April I miss you XOXO

You guys are really making me feel better. God Bless You All. Thanks a bunch from the bottom of my heart. I didn't realize I was so blue until I started to read all your posts & started smiling this much. I *even* feel better.

This might seem really silly to some ppl, but a minute that you take out of your day & stop to be kind to another person sometimes means the world. It can also change a life & that person's outlook on things.

You guys are an example & today I thought about you all when I chatted with one of my uncles. Let me explain....

He's very involved religiously, but he's not the kind to drag to church with him or anything. He does have a lot of patience & LOVE. One of his uncles (my grandma's brother) was very ill with terminal cancer a few years ago. My uncle told me today that he went & sat with him a few hours every week until the day he died. He was worried because he "hadn't found the Lord". This uncle wasn't religious AT ALL. He was a tought guy. A police detective for 20+ years. My uncle said he was worried for him, but never pushed the "religion subject" on him. He just listened to his complaining about the nurses & the wounds & the pain, etc, etc. (I told you my uncle was patient) He started asking him why he bothered stopping by, he wasn't going to go to his church. He said he didn't want to bother understanding God.

***Many talks & weeks later*** Sick uncle starts asking about the meaning of life, God, death, etc, etc. Then he came to the realization that even with all his years (he was 60+), he couldn't understand God's reasoning but that didn't mean he should keep him out of his life. He asked my uncle if they could pray for his soul. He died the next day.

I promise you I'm not making this up. I have the log of the chat if you all want it. There's a lot of me typing "I don't want to cry anymore"...But I was crying 'cause I was happy for my uncle -the one that died, but actually, for both of them...I'm happy that I have such a cool uncle. And I told him so. =)

So think about that the next time you are debating whether or not to be kind to someone =)

You guys are amazing & rock! Thanks again and I love you all!!!

XOXOXO

Angie P.S. I don't care what ppl think of me. I'm going to enjoy being happy as much as I can. Life is too short & full of problems as it is to add more drama to it.
