The thing that most struck me in reading about her both on your blog and on hers is how much time you gave to her, how much you invested in her care and comfort. The spending time with her, the reading aloud. The love you felt for her really comes through in your actions and posts, and I know it's hard to lose her. But seriously, as I've said in the past, she was so fortunate to have both her husband and you. Again, I'm so sorry about her passing, and I have no doubt you're sorry and sad too. It's only natural.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-66661986143071998392014-12-18T23:56:25.239-05:002014-12-18T23:56:25.239-05:00I love A's observation.

I know that. <br />But death does draw you up into a darkness, doesn't it? The world has shifted and it takes a bit to find the light again. As to the WV- you don't even have to do the check thing right now. Just hit publish. It will. <br /><br />LBags- He is. Thank you, sweetie.<br /><br />Angella- I feel it. I know. <br /><br />Denise- Honey, I KNOW you know. In ways I do not. Yes. Let's try to rock on.<br /><br />Rebecca- I try to be good. I do. Thank you for saying I am.

I'm guessing that in the South it's a phrase that can be used many ways, including as irony or deflection, <br />but I always hear/read it, when I type it into the browser window, as<br />pure benediction.

Then, the next day I was devastated because I didn't have her with me anymore. We don't grieve for those who have gone on to better things; we grieve for ourselves. Doesn't make it any easier, I know. It just explains how we can be joyful for our loved ones' release, and devastated at OUR loss.
