the deborah show

1bluebox or two

pain of it all

pain of it all



when a heart is pierced by the points of a lie,
it becomes a little tougher to mend the hole.


when a heart is toughened by the trials of life,
it becomes a little harder to learn forgiveness.



the days of loving with an open heart
are worth living through all the lies.


the days of living with a hardened heart
is the price to be paid .......



in order to love life
and live through
the pain of it all.

deborah

an addition to my past .... remember the white ghosts?

"the days of loving with an open heart
are worth living through all the lies."

Hmmmmmm.....I'm not so sure anymore. After the last time, I think I've had my fill. It took too great a toll.

I thought this was a beautiful poem. For me, I think the "pain of it all" would have more to do with a feeling of loss rather than some sort of betrayal.

"when a heart is toughened by the trials of life,
it becomes a little harder to learn forgiveness."
So very true!

A sad day it is today. So strange that you wrote this poem on Tuesday, the last day of your life.

You were funny and so down to earth Deborah. I will miss you. Rest in Peace my friend.

Loiscakkleberrylane Thursday, January 28, 2010 8:15:44 PM

Cois asked me if I was going to post something here and I think it's appropriate to let everyone who read her blog to know that Deborah was in a car crash Tuesday night and was killed. The newspaper article gives all the details and may be found at:

May she rest in peace.

If Deborah's friends and family can see this blog, i will say a prayer for her tonight and may God bless her and you all, I didnt know her but wish i did, rest in peace Deborah. sad

A sad day it is.
Deborah was such a wonderful down to earth person. It was Deborah that had introduced me to Lois.
Deborah was one of the first people I had met when I joined the Opera community.
I will dearly miss her poetry and yet treasure that poetry she has so openly shared; that always touched everyone in such a special way.

This Eagle will dearly miss you.
May you rest in peace my friend.

Deborah, your heart will go on through people coming here to read your poems. Now you are in a place of no pain, just love.

Blessings on your next life.

My condolences to Deborah's family.

Angelikiellinidata Thursday, January 28, 2010 10:23:25 PM

Good Bye honey,
you did bring happiness to many on Opera,
I feel fortunate that,
my path crossed with yours.
See you in the other side someday Deb,
keep writing,
you were a poet that I often had my teen daughter
visit and read......
A gifted poet and a sweet lady that,
will be greatly missed ..... heart

Deborah, rest in peace.

Deb Plattdebplatt Friday, January 29, 2010 7:48:30 AM

Now Deborah's photos seem to have disappeared. sad

PainterWoman Friday, January 29, 2010 7:55:26 AM

Her photos haven't been there for a while which is disappointing. I would have liked to have seen her smiling face.

They all disappeared after one of the major changes, fixes, upgrades, or whatever, on Opera....couple of months ago, I think. She kept saying she was going to check with someone at Opera but just didn't get to it. Her new job kept her really busy.

Dacotah Friday, January 29, 2010 8:07:36 AM

I will ask someone to fix it, if that's okay?

PainterWoman Friday, January 29, 2010 8:16:38 AM

If they can, that'd be great.

Dacotah Friday, January 29, 2010 8:20:05 AM

I asked, I hope it can be fixed.

Jaxs Powelleagle4eyes Friday, January 29, 2010 3:46:47 PM

Thanks Carol. It would be great if someone could fix that. flirt

Dacotah Friday, January 29, 2010 3:51:51 PM

You are welcome Jaxs.
I heard back, there is a new Q & A person but the one I contacted will ask the new one to fix it and said it seems like an easy fix. I hope so.

H82typ Friday, January 29, 2010 3:59:21 PM

Rest in peace, sweet lady. You're missed. sad

MinaMinenow Saturday, January 30, 2010 4:57:15 AM

When I heard, I came here. No comments to verify what I hoped wasn't true.

I told someone she posted the day in question. And yes, noted the powerful subject matter.

I'm saddened especially that I had only within the last few months got to know Deb.

I'm surely feeling for you all who knew and loved her so much!



starree Saturday, January 30, 2010 10:06:13 PM

You will be missed heart

Richardmusickna Tuesday, February 2, 2010 4:12:31 AM

Oh - this is so sad. Such a loss. You will be missed, Deborah. sad

Huong Lan Thursday, February 4, 2010 1:34:34 PM

May you rest in peace, Deborah. heart

Marianamariana63 Sunday, February 7, 2010 4:43:04 PM


I was the last one who hear about my dear friend Deborah, i am so ,so sorry.
Rest in peace dear friend.







H82typ Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:52:50 PM

It's been said, much more eloquently I'm sure, that one never really dies until they're not thought of, not remembered.
I'm sorry we never got to be officially friends, Deb. rip

Dacotah Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:53:59 PM

I asked the new QA person to fix her photos but I've gotten no response from him. sad

H82typ Wednesday, April 21, 2010 11:15:48 PM

Yeah. I remember. Did you do it via pm or forum post? We could bump it, if you did.

Dacotah Thursday, April 22, 2010 1:53:23 AM

Through pm. I pm'd the QA I knew and he pm'd me back right away and said it shouldn't be a problem to fix and that he would tell the new QA person since he no longer works for Opera. I waited some time then pm'd the new one and got no response. sad

When A Friend Bids Goodbye

© Kathrine Yee Baraquia
My dear friend,
close your eyes...
hold my hand,
and hear me whisper...

For the times I was lost,
you were there to look for me.
Will you believe me when I say I love you more than you'll ever know.
Will you trust me when I say ...this time you have to let me go.

My dear friend, I must leave.
The world no longer needs me.
It's my time to be gone, until we meet again someday.
Don't you cry now, I know I'll be okay.
Trust that I'll never forget you.
Don't be sad now, just close your eyes until it's through.
Hold my hand, don't open your eyes yet...
wait when I no longer whisper..

My dear friend, you'll be fine.
I'll be up there watching over you.
For the times I'll be gone, don't ever forget
the words I whispered to you.

God calls on my name... and I have to let go of your hand now...
Please don't cry... and smile for me..
because I'm with the one who made us friends.

Remember, I'll always love you.
so come, wave me goodbye...
It'll be painful but we have to...
Hug me, hug me tight, feel the words I can no longer say.

My dear friend, I'm going to miss you.
just pray because I'll always listen.
and one day, when it's your time,
I'll be there for you...
Just like the way I used to.
...I love you...
