At the end of the day the only thing that matters is-
Did you live your life lovingly?
The source of joy or pain is in that response.

Even though death is painful for those left behind…if a loved one DID live their life lovingly…much joy can be shared with precious memories.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. -
To love and be loved is everything.
When we lose one that we love, the pain is in proportion to how much we loved them.
Then we learn the pain of too much tenderness.
If there can be such a thing as too much tenderness.
(((hugs))) -
God bless all concerned. I can tell beyond a doubt that you are all kind, loving people. It does make it more difficult at a time like this, but you wouldn’t have it otherwise, I’m sure.

Love and hugs and prayers to you my darling one………..
I love you -
All I can say is that my heart goes out to you. And you are wrapped in the love of everyone who reads here. Along with being wrapped in the love, of your loved ones.

Corey,
You know that I’m with you right now from 2,000 miles away. I hope you can feel my hand holding yours during this time. Your Dad couldn’t have lived a more loving life, nor could he have been more loved. He’s a lucky man to have had that knowledge. -
You are an expert at blooming, we can see it daily! Being able to do that while your own little family is thousands of miles away is difficult. But at the end of the day you know you are doing the right thing. Be courageous…many prayers are still being directed your way.

PS: I want the linen! It is gorgeous. Did your mother or grandmother make that?
-
Holding you in my love and prayers.

love nancy -
Corey…you amaze me with your strength and wisdom. Even in the depths of despair you find time to reach out to others. You are a remarkable woman. As always, you are wrapped within my heart. I’m sending love and courage to you and your family…I do hope you can feel it. …and, there is only one way to live each day…lovingly, with no regret!
-
I really love that title, I hope to bloom where planted (a great reminder of love abundant to be shared).

you are truly remarkable in the strength you are emitting for your family in this most difficult time…

YOU are proof that George Amaro lived(s) life lovingly..How beautiful and true are these words….My thoughts are with you Corey…xo

Dearest Corey, Please know that Our Lady is holding you and your dear family tenderly in her arms. My prayers will continue.With love, Julie.

Oh Corey . . . it’s a hard time, isn’t it?
-
Still wanting you to know that I am thinking of you and your family…and I have to agree with some of the other comments…you are the proof of your father’s wonderful LOVING life…
all my prayers are with you. -
how beautiful. so well stated.
-
I agree wholeheartedly. It is easy to get all wrapped up in the “shoulds” of life and allow unimportant things to rule the day. Keeping our focus on the big picture helps.
Sending thoughts and prayers of loving, healing peace to you and your family. -
love to you and yours…

Dear Corey Amaro,
“You risk crying when you let yourself love”… my heart goes out to you and to your wonderful loving family. Thoughts and prayers are with you from all over the world today and everyday. May God Bless you all!
Peace,

Corey,
You are finding beautiful quiet moments in your life right now it seems….
thinking of you and your family,

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Sending strength and love to you Corey and your entire family. I know that your father certainly lived lovingly and thus joyfully.

so true, love = everlasting life. A warm hug for you Corey.

This past Saturday I celebrated my father’s 86th birthday. Some people think it’s odd to celebrate birthdays after a person is deceased but while his memory is with me I will always celebrate it.
Happy Birthday Pai!
Dear Mr. Amaro, stay a little bit longer…the birthdays were much more fun when pai reminded me every year not to frost his cake and made those wonderful faces that cannot be duplicated..the same faces Corey captures in the pictures I have seen of you…stay if you can..but if you cannot, I want you to know that you have left golden seeds behind and the world a better place…I send you my love… -
These words are so true and so well selected by you.
One hopes that our life goes on in the hearts and minds of those we leave behind.
All life is to be celebrated no matter how long or short it may be.
You, Your Father and Family are in my thoughts and prayers. -
We will never meet.
But,
I
am
here.
Holding out my hand to you. -
May HIS Perfect love wash over you & your entire family, may HIS perfect peace be deep within you & your entire families hearts.
In Him,
Kim -
I think,Corey, that you bloom where ever you are planted…in California, in France or in the hearts and minds of those who read your blog…Perhaps because as a young seedling you were so lovingly tended to by your family.Thank them for me, will you?
-
Beautiful words of truth. Not only do you live lovingly but you are loved.
-
what a perfect reminder as I sit back and reflect on the day….thanks!
-
and in the end…. this is the absolute truth. xo
-
And, Corey, you continue to plant as you bloom. Blessings, friend!
-
True.
((hugs)) Corey. -
Yes, Corey you did. Your parents taught you well.

Beautiful thought! (and the linen too!)

All of your last few posts have brought lumps to my throat, Corey. I’m sending you lots of love and good wishes and the joy that you deserve.

Corey You have touched my life in so many ways by your wonderful words and how you live your life. I am sending my love to you and your entire family. May God’s love get you through this difficult time. I wish I could give you a hug….

Corey, sending you love and joy in this hard time.

It is true. I’m sending my loving thoughts to you and your family. Sometimes we think other things are important, but at the heart of everything is love.

Corey…
And more;there was the fruit he made,
Or better,bore,when all the ground
Seemed dry,we turned again and found
The branches heavy with some rare
Well-watered food and sweet called Care.
…from a poem by John Piper.
with love and great hope,
k. -
An abundance of hope, prayers and love to you all Corey, you remain in my thoughts each day.

Hi Corey
Just as it says in “corinthians”, “and now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love”. Awesome stuff love ! Jx -
And, one must be content with their own answer as most likely others will not agree. No matter if the answer is yes or no.
I know in my heart that I have lived my life lovingly, but there are those who don’t see it that way.
And when life comes to a close will the answer be different? -
Everyman, the Medieval morality play character, fought this lesson fearfully. I think you father has very little to fear, Corey. Blessings, Annie
-
You all remain in my thoughts, dear Corey.
Pat -
J’admire votre sagesse . Je vous embrasse et pense à vous .
-
Yes, that’s true, come to think about it…You’re certainly sharing love with us. Blessed be.
-
Amen. Dearest Corey, You and your family are wrapped in love and prayer.
