We on the other hand are left with a void and oftentimes lack the understanding or wisdom on how to fill it. Was that space cleared so that we could grow? A sort of spiritual "pruning"? I have the same sort of thoughts after losing mom, sister and daughter. Precious women in my life.

Thought provoking! Life is damn short! LIve it awake! It makes me miss you! I hope all is well. Nick is back in America, translating his first Japanese novel. Also still in the video game world. I am creating my own clothing line, Groupie Couture, and teaching my writing classes, among other things. Traveling a lot, growing old gracefully, hope!<br />Much love,<br />PamelaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952638997287390933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-42694527534360506592013-01-12T18:11:17.104+09:002013-01-12T18:11:17.104+09:00"True Prosperity: Grandfather dies.

Grandson dies."<br /><br />That's been on my mind a few days now.<br /><br />Especially this part: "The entire family was furious at the priest."<br /><br />Some People are truly rich.<br /><br />Others have no clue.<br /><br />... How many are in the middle?<br />... And how many have been purposely misled into thinking like the family in the story?<br /><br />True poverty is horrible.<br /><br />- IndividualAudienceMemberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-68101982690772595422013-01-12T07:46:07.286+09:002013-01-12T07:46:07.286+09:00This is a powerful post.

I was out of the country when it happened. Like you, I didn't get a chance to hold her hand but I'm glad I have at least her picture. I think my parents feel the same way...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
