Hello, my friend, thanks for your kind words.
Losing someone you love really hurts, and we all will share the experience sometime in our lives. I am old enough to know, I can't escape the fact that losing loved ones is going to happen a little more often, so I embrace the pain, I cry whenever it hits me, and then I pray for the sweet memories of a life well lived to flood my head.
My biggest hope is that my own passing will be in the right order. I have too my friends who have lost their children, which I think would be unbearable.
Life is a roller coaster, and I am hanging on tight.
Every minute is precious.
