I may not always comment, something I probably should do more of, I guess, but I do enjoy your posts.<br />I am also participating in the A to Z Road Trip.

Sadly, I didn't make it this year. It is so hard to get around to all the blogs during April. This is my first year for the A to Z Road Trip. I find it easier to stop and look around. Then I bookmark those blogs I want to return to. Which is what I will be doing with yours today! I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a son.

I understand what you mean about followers. <br />In the past I have not been as diligent about leaving comments after visiting a blog.

Having lost a child myself, I know the anguish and depression that follows and that the pain never goes away. It does, somehow, not hurt as much every day, but getting to that point is different for everyone. My heart goes out to you.<br /><br />Congratulations on making it all the way through . My mistake this year was not preparing my post in advance . It left far too little time for me to visit other blogs. I don't put any stock in followers because not many of them read or comment. It's people who take the time to leave a comment and engage in conversation who matter most to me.

Well done not only for completing the...Hello there.<br />Well done not only for completing the challenge, but also for visiting 200+ blogs! <br />I also finished the challenge (my second year) and so far have visited 450+ and counting blogs. For my own sanity, I did have to pre-write and pre-schedule my posts...I might not have finished otherwise due to the overwhelming task of reading/visiting/commenting. This is a huge event and I'm not sure what can be done to better organize it. Arlee and his co-hosts do a lot of work behind the scenes as well as managing their own blogs. There are, however, a lot of spammy and advertizing blogs that always seem to get on the list or simply others who link up then post nothing or just one or two posts for the whole month of April. <br />Before I go, I'd just like to offer my condolences on the loss of your son. The death of a loved one is never easy to bear. Sadly, many people do not realize the Bible can actually be a real source of comfort during such times. If you have a spare moment (and a Bible), I encourage you to read the following scriptures:<br />John 5:28, 29<br />Acts 24:15<br />Revelation 20:12, 13 and Revelation 21:4<br />Please know these are not some wishy washy promises made by mortal man, but a sure, solid hope of a resurrection, of seeing our dead loved ones again in the near future. God's Word is true since God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Wishing you well.<br /><br /><a href="http://entrepreneurialgoddess.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Entrepreneurial Goddess</a>B~Natrellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800485465550884113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-31589497914365297442015-05-05T20:49:01.057-04:002015-05-05T20:49:01.057-04:00Thank you for your condolences.
