I was just thinking about you because they're having that craft thing at the Picador this weekend and I always think of how much fun that was when you were here for that last time.<BR/><BR/>DMarks,<BR/><BR/>Thank you. I'm sure it wasn't the feel good blog post of the season, but maybe next time I'll lighten it up a bit more.<BR/><BR/>REl,<BR/><BR/>I think it would be worse to lose your child, although I thankfully haven't had to endure that.<BR/><BR/>Booda Baby,<BR/><BR/>God, I love your word verifications and comments.

And what could be better than 'bread' after this post, I don't know. I could hear/read stories like this all day long. People try so hard to love and do the weirdest stuff and about all we can do is thank them for the effort, because otherwise we'd be spending all our time recovering from the amazement of how much they fucked it all up.booda babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424036488795599663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-1877401546509027942008-12-11T19:20:00.000-06:002008-12-11T19:20:00.000-06:00Churlita,There is no worse trauma than a child los...Churlita,<BR/>There is no worse trauma than a child losing a parent.<BR/>relrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030572981830789370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-14239482037822533532008-12-11T17:31:00.000-06:002008-12-11T17:31:00.000-06:00Holy shit.

I can't imagine what would have happened at the funeral.<BR/><BR/>DJ,<BR/><BR/>Thank you. I think it's all relative. In some ways, having a bunch of bad crap happen to you when you're younger, makes you deal with things better when you're older.<BR/><BR/>Minyo,<BR/><BR/>I didn't know that. I'm so sorry. I think that umbilical cord never really gets cut, and it makes us still part of our moms and just know stuff.<BR/><BR/>Danny,<BR/><BR/>Thanks. It's hard to know. I don't think it would have helped with my denial. My head can invent all kinds of bizarre scenarios to support my beliefs.<BR/><BR/>Nor,<BR/><BR/>She sounds cool, but I'm a lame ass when it comes to that kind of thing.

Not that it would have provided any comfort or closure, but I wonder if I would have regretted that later if I'd been in that position. My mom died when I was 39 and I found that pretty devastating, I can't even imagine what it must be like for such a young kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-12519614799935711892008-12-11T09:11:00.000-06:002008-12-11T09:11:00.000-06:00I can relate.

I was playing with Barbies.<BR/><BR/>Wish you could have gone to the funeral. Back then, adults tried to protect kids from death. I think a lot has changed now. I try to be really open and honest with my girls about death and dying. <BR/><BR/>Powerful post.Minyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096321868306302454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-55339831965277305602008-12-11T08:51:00.000-06:002008-12-11T08:51:00.000-06:00This is a great post.
