Beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye thinking of our daughter. Wife had just said she misses her a lot of late, and so do I.

I hope it’s not awkward to say “hugs” to you and your wife, Roland. I am teary eyed thinking of you and the sorrow you are both feeling 💔

I’m literally crying my eyes out right now. So overcome with the sense of loss.

My grandparents never stopped missing 2 of their children who died decades before them. They lived and enjoyed their other 7 children and the vast families each of those created over a lifetime, but that one spot in my grandparents’ hearts which belonged to each child could only be for that child. Love lasts a lifetime and tho it is difficult at times, loving another so fully is completely worth the challenges.

We always hold those we love who passed into the REAL SIDE of life close to our hearts and minds, Roland. The death of a child is particularly gut wrenching - and I am sure you never need reminded of that fact. ((HUGS)) to you and your beloved family.

36. She had been depressed for at least 3 years, and went off the rails, leaving her husband, but keeping him on the hook. Never took any of our advise, and really got bad the last year when she saw a Frankenstein shrink and he gave her 5 toxins that she herself said " broke my brain". She was too proud and too broken to ask us for help, or even reconcile properly. Can't remember her ever saying she was sorry, but she said it twice in her note. She is much better now, and we get along better now than the last 20 years she was still in this world.
