I am sorry sorry girls to hear of the loss of your mothers. I could even begin to imagine the pain you are feeling. My thoughts and prayers and hugs go out to you in your time of grief. Please take care of yourselves.

Thanks for all of your prayers and :. It's great to have such wonderful friends

Mozo~~~My prayers go out to you for the loss of your mother. I truely know what you are going through. I'm not sure which is more difficult: my personal pain or seeing my Dad's pain through this. I know that time will heal some of the pain but we will always have the wonderful memories our mother's gave us.

Beach Beauties~~~I think I have gained weight from all of this stress eating. Thanks for guarding my towel and umbrella. I can't wait to get back to the beach and eat healthy and exercise .

Sil, I dont "know" you yet but I hope I'll get the opportunity!! I'm very sorry to hear about your Mother, my prayers go out to you and your family.

Hugs and prayers to you too Mozo.

Sil, dear, are you home? How are you doing?
I always have this piece close at hand...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
whatever we were to each other
that we still are
call me by my old familiar name
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used
put no difference in your tone
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together
pray smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
it is the same as it ever was
there is unbroken continuity
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner
All is well

Henry Scott Holland
