I think the company of others who knew the one you loved is so important for healing. It's a balm, mostly. I'm glad you met your friends xxx Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-18074138636347306482016-05-16T19:18:28.337-04:002016-05-16T19:18:28.337-04:00Jill- I knew I would be so glad if I went and so s...Jill- I knew I would be so glad if I went and so sad if I did not. And so it was. <br /><br />carol- I love and adore that show. <br /><br />Joanne- Up until I got in the shower I swore I wasn't going. I guess my mind had another plan...<br /><br />Steve Reed- Exactly why I went. Not for the deceased, whom I really didn't know that well but for the women I knew would be there. And mostly, for myself. I, too, am glad about Mabel. She's a stout old soul and much loved by me. <br /><br />Angella- It was the right thing to do, to go. For me. I keep thinking about Ellen, telling me that she is finding herself spending all night laboring with a woman and thinking, "This is what I'm supposed to be doing," and it gives me so much joy and inspiration. <br /><br />heartinhand- I know by now that that voice is a stupid liar. But it's so hard to ignore it, isn't it? <br /><br />Mrs. A- You put it perfectly. Thank you.
