Good memories.<br />You did something wonderful for your aunt and uncle. You were there. That's huge. Don't ever forget how important it is to just "be there" for people. You don't have to say the right things or have answers. You just have to hold their hands and cry with them. <br />Bless you sweetie.farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-62364958186236413792011-06-17T09:02:46.276-07:002011-06-17T09:02:46.276-07:00I love the "windblown" picture of you. ...I love the "windblown" picture of you.

You just learn to carry on with an empty spot, and with enough time, the empty spot isn't quite as raw. At least that's been my personal experience. The nicest things that I recall good friends doing when my boy died 30 years ago were just normal things, nothing special in any way. There were too many people who either avoided us (cuz they didn't know what to say/do) or tried to do great grand things (that me and my surviving family didn't have the energy for). Lovely photos ... I could smell the beach!LDFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708949173250314782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-17065954091595608842011-06-16T16:05:54.850-07:002011-06-16T16:05:54.850-07:00Such a beautiful place....such a sad reason to be ...Such a beautiful place....such a sad reason to be there.

How do parents ...You look great--rested, beautiful~<br />How do parents recover from that loss? They don't, and well, they do in ways--they're just always different than they were before. The lows get lower and the highs don't ever get as high. Some people seem to have a better grip on things after awhile, some never are able to come to grips with that huge loss. After nearly 13 years after suddenly losing my 31-year-old daughter--I guess I'm somewhere in between.Bluebird49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195892307835553912noreply@blogger.com
