I'm so sorry you had to go through that...Teri,<br /> I'm so sorry you had to go through that at such a young age. I can relate to this through my own children's loss of their father at a young age. It was very difficult for them, and my heart feels for you..what I felt for them. I have also experienced the tragedy of suicide. My brother in law took his life 4 years ago and it has left my sister and my family with a real sense of loss filled with questions that will never be answered. <br />I now understand why I feel you are such kindred spirit...because from my own experiences...I find those that have endured these things in their lives learn to live life at a much deeper level than most. You are never at the surface with things...the depth of your soul pours out on this blog. That which you hold close has meaning...adding a richness some will never know.<br />I wish things had been different for you as a child...but I realize you are the woman you are today because of the obstacles you have faced. And I am privileged to be your blog friend. <br /><br />Happy Solstice day. May your day be filled with light and love.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749464659476217501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14030528845321746.post-53149275004639277802010-06-20T16:03:44.209-07:002010-06-20T16:03:44.209-07:00This was a very moving piece, especially since my ...This was a very moving piece, especially since my own is living, but in a very real way has left me, as well.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14030528845321746.post-15244620309107398952010-06-20T03:11:23.153-07:002010-06-20T03:11:23.153-07:00smiles. thanks for the reminder...gonna make the m...smiles. thanks for the reminder...gonna make the most of every moment...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14030528845321746.post-10671518439483807792010-06-19T23:36:20.789-07:002010-06-19T23:36:20.789-07:00Dear Teri,
I could not sleep, though I am very ti...Dear Teri,<br /><br />I could not sleep, though I am very tired, so I decided to visit a few blogs I have not seen for some time since I began my leave of absence.<br /><br />Your post is precious because it is unvarnished and truthful, while honouring a memory. My father was mostly absent from my life and I promised I would make a difference with my children and though I believe I have, I feel I could have done more, especially these last few years.<br /><br />The relationship between fathers and their children has been improving, especially when we compare it to our own childhood, and though much more needs to be done, I fear the bonds may never be as they are between a mother and her child or children.<br /><br />I am sorry for having gone of the beaten path with my ramblings, I was just remembering the relationship with my parents.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful Sunday and peace in your life,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.com
