Life goes on, I guess. Work is work.<br /><br />I am sorry about your loss. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a parent, but looking at my family history, I'm not very optimistic about their future. Cancer seems to be eating away at everyone these days. None of us can hide from it. <br /><br />This is definitely the kind of story that will stay with me. <br />~2Tomara Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185889402088565686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186877685534377957.post-68059046220985012892009-12-08T14:39:39.110-05:002009-12-08T14:39:39.110-05:00What a beautiful story!

You may remember that a couple of months ago I lost my father-in-law. His name was Bill, too. When I read this I remembered how you ran back and forth and tried to be with your dad as much as possible. I know your time together meant so much to both of you. You have made him proud. If I had read this not knowing this was a personal tribute I would have been just as choke up as I am now.God Bless !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186877685534377957.post-58676221796004536962009-12-04T17:48:39.749-05:002009-12-04T17:48:39.749-05:00This is so heartfelt, Linda.

So many things expressed succinctly, and in the hurry, creating such emotional force. It's a riveting in a way totally different from thrillers. I couldn't stop reading or diverge from the horrible flow.<br /><br /><br />I'm deeply sorry for your loss. If talking to somebody a world away will help, please e-mail me any time.
