(((((((David))))))))'


I am so sorry.

In my experience, grief can be a bittersweet time--because happy memories come flooding back along with the tears. May this be the case for with you.

 Thanks y'all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers... aww ...

   I am flying over the Pacific now as I wrote this- heading for Texas... to deal with M.'s passing... I needed to come...

Not a good time for open sharing- still trying to process everything.

I think that losing a child would be the worst thing... but grief is grief, no matter what the circumstances...

...today I have the courage to face it... past generations had a regular and more predictable way to do this...blankstare

So glad ah'm in Alanon... oh yes! 

 

Roimata ua, roimata takata...

as rain falls, so do the tears of humankind...

Bless you, David

I hope you brought warm jumpers and the like. It was 30F this morning in our part of Texas. Of course, Texas is so big we have five planting zones, perhaps.

Take care of you, please.

It is a shock when a younger member of the family dies.

We are all with you in spirit

Temple

David, may you know the comfort of HP's intimate presence as you walk this path.

If you need a meeting or three while in TX, you should be able to find one easily on the web.
