My first visit to your blog. I&#...Hello, Ladynomad. My first visit to your blog. I'm so sorry about your parents. No matter how old we are (my father died when I was 21 and my mom died when I was 48), it still feels like we're orphans, I think. Following my father's death, it took years, maybe well into the second decade, before I could talk about him without breaking down. With Mom, it only took about 18 month. This isn't a testament to how much I loved each of them, but instead, I believe, how much I witnessed. I was with Mom every day for a full year before she died, caring for her, watching and participating in her transition from life to death. I believe this had tremendous healing power for me.<br /><br />I wish you peace this Christmas season and in the new year. I can't wait to read about your adventures on the road.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826144253232267217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441127109721868533.post-34962390429182242402010-12-10T00:58:40.066-06:002010-12-10T00:58:40.066-06:00What a nice tribute!

It sounds like they were very special and you were lucky to have them (and vise versa.)Barbara and Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15950659270754642037noreply@blogger.com
