I feel you on this 100%. That was me today. I just sobbed when people asked me how it was going...and yet, I had gotten myself ready in attempt to feel like I was pulled together. But oh, how I wasn't. So much so that I left half way through Sunday School because I was so exhausted and emotional. <br /><br />I hope things are better for you now. If you need someone to rub aloe vera on you, gimme a call. ;)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639296091841404558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1215454769925745119.post-80326972218713950092010-07-18T15:27:54.516-07:002010-07-18T15:27:54.516-07:00Name calling didn't work, huh?

Whatever you'...Ruth, my heart goes out to you. Whatever you're going through, I hope you can find the courage I know you posses and get through it. I have felt just as are you are feeling right now and I know it isn't easy. You are an amazing woman and so easy to love. I haven't spent much time with you at all, and it didn't take anytime for me to see what a beautiful person you are inside and out.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547854127255044144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1215454769925745119.post-59460876818391598742010-07-14T10:58:29.270-07:002010-07-14T10:58:29.270-07:00Dear, sweet Ruth,
I have always thought of Addy as...Dear, sweet Ruth,<br />I have always thought of Addy as a girl version of Ben..I see now it's that he was the only little Geilman I knew at that age--she is definitely your clone! :) As for the "burn"...I have had similar feelings many a time (but you write it so beautifully!) and you're right in that sometimes there is no 'cure' for the pain but to ride it out and allow the healing to take place. Another thing that has helped me, is to get back to 'basics'...when the hurt comes from members--I remind my self that it is my testimony of the Savior not individuals per se that is why I am there. If it is family, harking back to the answers to prayer that brought them into my life or sustained me in the past. You get the picture. I am so sorry that you are hurting for whatever reason but the 'new skin' that comes through after the pain and the healing take place is softer and lovelier than that which it replaced! I send you a huge hug! love, sheryl d :) (I wish I knew how to send this to you privately--but I'm techno ignorant--sorry)gramma/momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325088604450759958noreply@blogger.com
