Edit your profile and remove the word "hopeful" that you have erroneously placed in front of "writer." Good writing and publication are not synonymous. Just look at all the crap out there that gets published. You are a writer with or without publication and a damn good one. I'll be back.<br /><br />Jayneinjaynesworldhttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-26925166698672915902010-05-24T17:37:07.231-04:002010-05-24T17:37:07.231-04:00This blog was beautiful.

And then I cried for all those loved ones that I've seen pass through this world.<br />You are right. Life is short. We need to enjoy every moment of this trip.<br />Thank you for your blog friendship.

I get stuck on the "why" and can't seem to get over it. What a helpful answer that is, in all it's simplicity. By the way, I am sorry about the loss of your father. I know how deeply you must feel it. I know, too, how proud he must be of you. (I am convinced of an afterlife)You really excelled at showing your beauty and your heart in this post.

It feels dream like on some level. But I have known such loss in my life and so many people dear to me have endured loss and I do know that I would not trade my membership in the loss club somehow. I don't exactly know why but I wouldn't. I am so so sad for Daffy tonight and I will keep her in my heart, close after reading this here. Thanks for being so huge hearted Meg.

The people behind the blogs are just that: people. Real live, living real lives, people.<br /><br />You're one of the best. So caring and positive. <br /><br />I'm so sorry for the loss of your friends sister, I can't even imagine losing my brother.

Sadly, this year I knew a new team for a friend that lost her battle with a brain tumor. Mera passed away in January after 35 short years. Our cousin Joann lost her battle last August at the age of 44 leaving behind a loving husband and two young daughters. I realized today that this is the third year we did the walk for Joann and the first that she was no longer here to know about it. <br /><br />But that means three years that she suffered in excruciating pain, slowing losing function of her capabilities both mental and physical. All the while, watched by her children and loving family. Not to at all say that Daffy's loss of her sister was a blessing, but if I had to choose between the road my two friends had and hers, I choose hers. Just like our Dad, I couldn't have picked a better way for him to leave us. Its so hard for those left behind to lose someone so suddenly, but I think its better in the long run. <br /><br />One team today had t-shirts referring to their family member that said, "I run because he fights". We all have to keep doing, running, going to kick this disease's butt. I don't want to know any new teams joining us in the upcoming years.<br /><br />After our Dad passed away, my friend said as she often did, "Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us". Days like today remind me of that. <br /><br />I hope Daffy's family can feel all of the love her sister will be shining down upon them. They really never leave us, I know that for sure.ProudSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977068625286695909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-25752567143870271662010-05-22T15:48:48.974-04:002010-05-22T15:48:48.974-04:00Tears.
