In his losses, he gave me so much, changed me into a better person, more compassionate therapist. <br />Still hurts like hell, 2 years after his death and 5 after my mum's, but we still have the diamonds that came from that time of great pressure and darkness.<br />Don't underestimate teh gifts you are giving and the work you are doing for others at the moment, even though you probably can't see it, Andrew<br />Much love<br />LizLiz Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336479507729867159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-72043211194931295482019-08-29T21:04:28.448-07:002019-08-29T21:04:28.448-07:00oh I love His words to you... to us...
