I am no expert at this, I just don't want her and all the special things about her to disappear in my memory, or with me should something bad happen.<BR/><BR/>My motivation is memorializing her as completely as I can, but sometimes it can be way too much pain for me. <BR/><BR/>And, erm, my district blocks facebook. They suck. So I have not been partying since 5. I went to my Yelp event and then came home and wrote, then crashed out.<BR/><BR/>BTW, replied on my blog to your comment, and I appreciate the link to me, mija.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341020185215087113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129330333244625739.post-48332177641796535742008-08-04T18:50:00.000-07:002008-08-04T18:50:00.000-07:00Okay, my socks have been blown off.

I have expected this kind of talent...awesome, awesome, awesome.<BR/><BR/>When I ran across this post, I had just been listening to Shakira sing "Objection." As I contemplated my response, Harry Chapin came on singing "The Cat's In The Cradle." Bad, baaaad mojo.<BR/><BR/>The dates got to me. They are remarkably close to the birth and death of my own father. (8/21/33-3/28/90.) <BR/><BR/>The circumstances are different, but the bottom line is that I wish I could have my dad back, as he was, lucid and writing his newspaper column in Upstate New York.<BR/><BR/>You should never feel rushed to touch the memories of your father. At some point, probably with your brothers and mother, what might be constructive would be a collaboration to chronicle as many memories of him as possible.<BR/><BR/>Giving his story life, I suspect, may offer you relief, and provide your sobrinos with an understanding of the man whose last name they share.<BR/><BR/>The unfinished life requires the living as a bridge to the future.The Wandering Gentilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212855368267895543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129330333244625739.post-34150815732426352082008-08-04T07:14:00.000-07:002008-08-04T07:14:00.000-07:00wow... lo siento... nuestros papis son tan, pero t...wow... lo siento... nuestros papis son tan, pero tan especiales... paciencia... se encontraran de nuevo en un lugar muy lindo...Cassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01773053134937944674noreply@blogger.com
