..I'm sure they already know each other ((:
Atom September 27, 2007, 09:35 PM
You know it...
donna September 27, 2007, 09:35 PM
She really is beautiful, Atom!
How long has she been gone?
Atom September 27, 2007, 09:37 PM
Thanks Donna- 7 years...
donna September 27, 2007, 09:38 PM
Not that long, and yet feels like forever I imagine.
Atom September 27, 2007, 09:41 PM
You know what's weird, it seems like yeterday, I wish it would feel like forever..

yes all about her is beautiful, you know?
and i can see the resemblance with you
and i do understand you with the time confusion mister atom, one cannot count the time missing a loved being, some days are OK, some days are painful as it was yesterday... just like all emotions in life, they take over you, not you over them... specially when it comes to time

O Atom, I do understand.
Yes, b, you are right. Time.
It's many years now without my dad and yet, there are still some times I cry myself to sleep because I miss him so. One time several years ago, I was beating myself up a bit (for some reason, I guess I thought I was being silly all those years later)for still getting so outwardly emotional and the oddest thing happened--was reading something, don't remember what, and I came across this from Tennesse Williams:
"To the person of feeling, grief is a permanent wound, not a transient state. It will take up residence in the human heart and will last as long as the heart endures."

I stopped feeling silly after that.

Ladies you have helped me more than you can possibly fathom. I am moved beyond anything I can write.
donna September 28, 2007, 05:05 AM
I'm touched Atom. truly.
This dialogue has helped me, too. This time of year is always a little rough for me. And that this came at this time . . .
well, my mother (a good Catholic saint of a woman, whom I'm lucky enough to still have) would say this: "It's the holy spirit lookin' out for us". ;)

You are absolutely right! I know that all those good people up there are behind this somehow....
Atom September 28, 2007, 05:23 AM
I didn't really realize it was so close for you..I am sorry, but I am not really good with what day of the week it is usually (cracks 'em up at my bank let me tell you!). If there is anything you need you know where to find me...
donna September 28, 2007, 05:23 AM
They have to be.
donna September 28, 2007, 05:31 AM
