God bless you and your daughter! I work for the Post Office--and so does my hubby, who is a rural carrier. The thought of losing him hurts my heart so much--I can't imagine how terrible your grief must be!

Thank you for being so passionate--not about your loss but about our need to show love to one another. It is so easy to take each other for granted--instead of seeing each other as a gift God gives us to rejoice in. I admire your determination to remind us of this.

I believe Satan hates to see us happy--and rejoices when he can find a soul who will help him destroy our joy. Then he tries to turn our grief into bitterness so we start to blame God instead of him for what happens. Your utter lack of bitterness--and sweetness in urging us to love one another--is very humbling! It is a lesson in faith--and a very special gift you have given to us here on FR. Thank you!

I pray very urgently that God hold your very tightly in His arms over the next days, weeks and months and give you the comfort and peace that only He can provide.

I will keep your husband in my prayers, as well as all postal employees. My concerns are not about money, but about nobody else having to feel the same pain and loss that my family is feeling. I went to the post office to see where my husband worked. They had his station all covered with flowers. There was a man there who now has to walk the same route as my husband did. He is overwhelmed by the customers who have been watching out for him and let him know how much my husband was liked for the simple fact that he was always polite and had a smile on his face. All of these prayers and sentiments are worth more than money to us right now. And I know he is looking down and smiling. I love you Robert.
