That they live on in us cannot ameliorate the pain of their permanent absence."<br /><br />It captured the essence of the feelings that I had been unable to express for over three years, and I found it both encouraging and reassuring that others felt the same way...<br /><br />I hope it brings you a little comfort, too...TartanGolfGrips DotComhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464430001225486254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-25184697342241336462006-11-14T09:40:00.000-05:002006-11-14T09:40:00.000-05:00Thanks for the kind words.

In the end you come to realize that it's an inevitable part of life, and I think that moment, the moment of that realization, is the true end of innocence.<br /><br />Wishing you the best memories of your departed loved ones.Patricia Hanniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13221547585113488764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-46869533493119742492006-11-14T07:59:00.000-05:002006-11-14T07:59:00.000-05:00My condolences to you, even years later things can...My condolences to you, even years later things can still be painful.<br /><br />Lost my mom to cancer in '83 when she was 43...I was 14, losing parents leaves a big sense of emptiness in one's life.John Burzynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150703086918637288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-41274331299803908512006-11-13T17:26:00.000-05:002006-11-13T17:26:00.000-05:00Lovely post, Patricia.
