It's amazing how a word from a person or a familiar fragrance or sight can bring something back to the present and cart along all the emotion with it. Your sister must have appreciated having a loving and sympathetic brother in her life.SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568759.post-36127996423295797572007-08-06T10:42:00.000-05:002007-08-06T10:42:00.000-05:00I thought you were going to say that it pissed You...I thought you were going to say that it pissed You off!

The news traveled slowly among friends from all over the country who knew him from pigeon shows.

I never had that sensation when my father passed, possibly because my mother's still alive, so there's not much forgetting he's gone.Ron Southernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604305014713612990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568759.post-76024322774620240112007-08-05T16:46:00.000-05:002007-08-05T16:46:00.000-05:00It's painful, isn't it?

I've experienced this kind of thing and it feels like the scab has ben torn from on old sore place.<BR/><BR/>Also, that feeling you describe of having to tell someone something - someone who has been gone for some time - that is strange too. I have a recurring dream that I should call my Mum (died 1997) and let her know where I am now. I always wake up in a panic. <BR/><BR/>Comforting hugs coming at ya, Ron. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568759.post-75873486704389489862007-08-04T22:42:00.000-05:002007-08-04T22:42:00.000-05:00Zen, that might be the best icon I've yet encounte...Zen, that might be the best icon I've yet encountered!Ron Southernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604305014713612990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568759.post-18076717071934400762007-08-04T22:38:00.000-05:002007-08-04T22:38:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry for your loss.
