I've never sent a private e-mail to you but witter on at the bottom of your postings (writing war and peace as that's my style) about how brave you are and how your life resembles mine, or my sisters or my Mums. Todays posting was particularly powerful, truthful and honest as always. I love your honesty, I don't want you to be 'professional' if that stops you being you, everyone I know lives their lives behind a mask, pretending to be those disguises finding it difficult to be themselves. The pain you feel over the loss of your Mum and the years spent with her and her not 'knowing' you is a painful journey to walk, but you said you had five years where you were at one with each other and those times are precious and you will always manage to cherish them. I cherish the few memories I have of my Dad (he died when I was 16) it's harder to hear his voice these days I have to close my eyes and really concentrate, 20 years have passed and it's much more difficult to hear him and his laugh! My sister was only 8 when he died and my brother 6 - they don't have those memories that I have and it has been so hard to find their path in life without that figurehead. We continue to strive to learn lifes daily lessons and just be ourselves without our disguises - continue being you and we'll continue being us and between us all we can change peoples attitudes and just spend a little time being ourselves without no pretences, assumptions, masks or disguises.<br /><br />Hope you have a great day off <br /><br />Hugs <br /><br />VirginiaVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170383814636792641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220751125104991614.post-21798366196648990672009-10-31T02:02:27.117-07:002009-10-31T02:02:27.117-07:00Hiya Dylan
