      Oh my dear Proud of Obama, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss.

      It is always difficult to lose a beloved life partner and kindred spirit. When the loss is so sudden it can feel like an attack to the very fiber of your being. (I say this from my own experience)

      I pray that you are surrounded with loved ones who can help ease the pain and that your time together provided you with an abundance of warm, loving memories to carry you thru your days. I’m sure you will keep him in your heart even as you have to let him go.

      Many blessings and may the warm light of love surround you in your time of sorrow.

      Dear Proud of Obama,

      I am so very sorry for your loss. I mean that from the depths of my very soul. I don’t know you and I didn’t know your husband. However, I do know the agony of losing someone that I loved and I wouldn’t wish that pain and suffering on anyone. Not even on people that I cannot stand…with every fiber of my being.

      Chipsticks has created with this site…a refuge…for kindred spirits. Our spirits connect here…in ways…that we will never understand. But we are here…for each other! My prayer and fondest wish for you…is that you…please…please…understand that you are NOT alone. There is compassion and love for you here…from places that you could have never imagined. All that you need to do…in what I am sure is a most trying time for you…is accept and be open to it.

      Please allow us to envelop and engulf….you and yours in the true spirit of LOVE…no matter how hard that may seem…right now!

      I love you! I really and truly do! (((HUG)))
