That's what I'm trying to do as I watch my brother suffer with his illness for which there seems there is nothing much more they can do for him., and I am trying to help in any way I can. Your blog posts are a comfort, I hope that makes you feel better to know.

I also share smiles!! Especially, if someone is looking less than happy! Or, a "Good Morning!!", when I am entering or leaving the grocery store!! I live in a smaller town, but never fail to greet folks I meet! When you run out of something on Thanksgiving and have to go out to you local convenience store, wish the people you meet a "Happy Thanksgiving!" and see their reactions. It is great! So, Bonnie, happy Thursday to you!!<br />Carol Nyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826789819741489016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51724403395038172112018-09-06T15:59:27.404-04:002018-09-06T15:59:27.404-04:00I started talking to random strangers this summer....I started talking to random strangers this summer.

Today hubby and I had to make a 45 minute trip to a new doc. On the way back we decided to take the scenic route down Rt. 301 instead of I-95 back to Lillington and stopped at Kim's Barbecue Restaurant...in Dunn NC. She's only open on weekdays... Cool, the specials were fabulous and it's a seat-yourself type of place with regulars. A lady sat near us (at a 6 person table) and so I HAD to talk to her. Between the noise and her southern accent (I'm from the north) I had a hard time understanding her. Between listening real hard and reading her lips we exchanged pleasantries and smiles. I just may have embarrassed my husband, that's ok, he'll get over it) Thanks for sharing your heart with us Bonnnie. My prayers continue as you go through this hard part of your life journey.Charlie dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801824419632212689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-79487615948958149282018-09-06T12:42:12.225-04:002018-09-06T12:42:12.225-04:00So enjoying pictures of the Inn.

So many wonderful and caring comments expressed sentiments and condolences far better than I could have...know that I send hugs and prayers of comfort. My mother passed in 1976, well before cell phones and the ability to keep a recorded voice close at hand. However, I still hear her voice in my mind, saying, “Hi, Dear!” as we would begin our phone conversations. So you will remember Mark’s voice as well. He will always be with you. Take care...safe travels.
