One minute someone's here, available to us, and then they're gone, left to subsist in our memories. I've been lucky in not having been exposed to too much death over the course of my life, but even that was plenty. It is such a part of life, but we tend to forget.It hangs in the shadows, lulling us into a false sense of immortality and then, we we least expect it, it emerges and disrupts our lives. Oh, it seems I'm rambling. I do that sometimes. Anyway, a very touching post, Leigh.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427392542970567855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-30537685658507120662010-10-29T05:37:21.442-07:002010-10-29T05:37:21.442-07:00beautiful post.

There place in our lives is one of the most unique and valued relationships and shape us so much more than we realize at the time. When I was a kid, I called my grandpa 'my favourite adult' to myself, because he truly was and I his. I'm crying now, but it's all good but boy, do I ever miss him soooo much. <br /><br />Hugs my dear friend, and here's to the day we see them again. <br /><br />~Andrea~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451777566497814274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-12109726568449097272010-10-28T06:16:14.213-07:002010-10-28T06:16:14.213-07:00Wonderful post, Leigh.

I have only recently be touched by death, but in my case both of the incredible women (<a href="http://mooseboots.blogspot.com/2010/07/farewell.html" rel="nofollow">Aunt Tammy</a> and <a href="http://mooseboots.blogspot.com/2010/08/farewell-gramzilla.html" rel="nofollow">Gramzilla</a> had been ill for a long time). I felt and incredible sense of peace with each of their passings, as did they I am sure.Deus Ex Machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425336387322313716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-15729487295078712552010-10-28T03:23:26.724-07:002010-10-28T03:23:26.724-07:00You were blessed, Leigh - you still are.

I lost my Nan over thirty years ago now, the pain eases but it never really goes away, just gets forgotten about sometimes while life spins around me but there's always something going to remind and I end up with a tearful smile on my face. Also your right, it's the little things not the grand that spark these memories. <br />Truly sorry for your lose, but thank you for sharing.<br />Johnmurphyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382223977388631947noreply@blogger.com
