Dear Lovelies,
Today I break my blogging-pause silence for a good reason. Not a happy one, but something worth a mention…
As you all know, blogging is about sharing thoughts and stories, but it is much more than that. The Bloggosphere is a community, and a place we come to when we need some support.
This morning, terrible news awaited me when I turned on my tablet.
You might already know Saraa, from It’s me Saraa. If not, you should really get to know the bubbly, witty, sweeter than sugar girl! This bright young woman always manages to put a smile on my face, but not today.
To make a long story short, Saraa’s little brother took his life yesterday. Knowing how important family is to her, I can hardly imagine how painful it is to go through life for her at this moment.
So if you have a little minute, please visit her, and leave Saraa a little cyber hug, please. No, I take that back, give her a big, tight hug! You can read the touching poem about her brother’s loss here.
My sweet Lebanese Princess… All my thoughts are with you today. May you find some comfort in the good memories you have in your heart. No words could heal the pain right now, but I hope that the fierce little fighter in you will pull through, despite the hard times to come…
*Love*
I do not know her but have just visited to give her support. Thank you for posting this. x

We all go through our rough times, but it is nice to see people gather around one of “us” when tragedy strikes… We’re a bit like a tribe.

Will do so. Three years ago a grandson took his life. Two months ago his brother tried to do the same. Fortunately my younger grandson failed his attempt, but we all hold our collective breath.

Thank you for your kind words. Saraa is in my prayers, as are all my WordPress family. My grandson is slowly working his way out of the situation and trying hard to come to terms with his older brothers loss. ❤

Dear Saraa, you are such a strong, amazing young woman!! In times when the average human being would be angry at Life, and cursing against Fate…When they would curl into a ball and cry while thinking “why me??”, you take time to come here and be grateful…
I’ve seen your replies to each and everyone who took a minute to leave you a little love and support.You are very special, my dear, and I am proud to be able to call you my friend!
