This is ...My dear Robyn - so glad to hear from you. This is the roller coaster ride of emotions - ranging from happiness to sorrow and everything in between - so when you're having a bad day - please do not be so hard on yourself - you are allowed to mourn - and you will get through the bad days just as you do the good days. You lost someone you loved very much and it will take time for you to heal - so allow yourself that time. Your father was a great man and a great friend to many - as witnessed by his memorial service. Perhaps when you think of everyone speaking that day you can smile and be proud that Tom was your Dad. xoxo, marinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476678910063439425.post-41735891589224200892008-09-02T14:46:00.000-07:002008-09-02T14:46:00.000-07:00Robyn,I am so sorry for your loss.

It's good that you, yourself, do realize that this is part of the grieving process and that you are really normal. Sometimes your feelings can get as bad as hate and guilt, and think you might have done something wrong, or could've done something to change the outcome. But in reality whether from illness or accidental death, this is part of our lives and once we accept that we can move on. I've also learned to live life to the fullest with family, friends and loved ones. <BR/><BR/>I've never read you blogs (sorry) and normally don't read any but a note somewhere of yours lead me to think, hey what the heck, why not. So I finally got a chance yesterday Sept 1st and it touched me. This day also being my sons' birthday Brock (R.I.P.) it gave me a sense of serentity on this difficult day. Maybe it was feeling that our loved ones have touch eachother or feeling that hopefully someday there paths will cross in the afterlife. <BR/><BR/>I can only say that my prayers are with you and your family, and that after so many years i'm glad we've found our friendship again.VeronicaN569https://www.blogger.com/profile/03480689073958345360noreply@blogger.com
