The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

I need to be very quiet and still today so I can hear. My sweet daughter lost her job today in a massive lay off. Such a short time ago she was the most beautiful bride and so happy and looking forward to the future. She still is... but today she is sad and I can't smile if I know she isn't smiling. The fact is...a MOTHER IS ONLY AS HAPPY AS HER SADDEST CHILD.
So today I will be still and pray for the wisdom to be able to advise and comfort this terrific young woman and her outstanding husband.
I'll post one more wedding photo I swear it is the last...but right now it just makes me happy.

OH, Pat...I am SO sorry to read this news. We had both my daughter and her hubby go through the "no job" situation in the summer...and then even with jobs, they had no health insurance for 7 months. Times are really scary right now. You are SO right about a mom only being as happy as her saddest child. I have had too many sad times because of sad adult children......and if it helps, please know you have a shoulder here to cry on or vent or whatever. One thing is for sure...we never stop worrying about our kids. I will hope and pray something comes up soon for your daughter so her sadness (and yours) can be lifted.
You are so right about being a Mom-lifetime commitment and you never stop worrying. Laurie got caught in a downsizing a few years ago and it was devistating to her. But it allowed her to become invilved eventually with Intercontinental and as a result she has traveled the world. Things happen for a reason. Not much comfort but I am sure things will get better.
Hugs, Karin
My heart aches for Emily! I so remember the devastating feelings of losing a job and nothing ever makes the hurt go away! But, as Karin said, everything happens for a reason - look at me, quilt shop owner and happier than I've ever been in this area of my life! I will pray for her to find peace, understanding and forgiveness for this situation, and an outcome that will make her world right again! All the same for you, too, Mom!
So sorry to hear that your daughter lost her job. I have been there before and it is definitely no fun. I will be praying for all of you that she will find something soon.
So sorry to hear about Emily! She has so much love and support from her family, I'm sure everything will work out in the end.
Pleaes tell Emily and Russ that they are in our thoughts and prayers! It's scary and hurts to be in this situation. You too are in our prayers. Its devastating watching our children suffer. Good is waiting on the other side of this experience.
