    Tragic loss
    carol says (02 Nov '08)

    I have lost a dear cousin; I am on my way to Arizona to be with my family. He was only 30 and leaves a wife and 4 children.

    Family

    Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again, skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts.

    Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

    I'll love you forever Lance.

    The great advantage of living in a large family is that early lesson of life's essential unfairness.

Thank you all, it has been a very hard month, I know everyone suffers with the loss of a family member.

I just have to remind myself that only god knows why these things happen to people so young.

It really sucks when something bad happens and everything else just seems to have a snowball effect on the family.

Thank you all for the comments and prayers.

May god bless you all.

Best wishes to you in these hard days, Good you have a lot of family around you. Funerals for loved ones suck. Been there and done that. My hubby died Sept 05 07 Today that is one year ago. I still sob my eyes out. There are many of us in the same stinking boat. Keep you memories, they will still make you sad, but that is what we have. And keep your friends close This is a sad time but we will make it through with family and friend support. Best wishes to you.

Thank you all for your heart-warming words of kindness...

I am waiting at DIA, my plane leaves in about 1 hour.

It is very sad that I will be seeing many family members that I have not seen for so long at such a sad time.

We all grew up together and were so very close, more like brothers and sisters, and there is a lot of us.

You see my dad had 2 sisters and 3 brothers. There are 25 cousins. We spent a lot of time in Arizona at one of many mines...

Us kids we had so much fun, all 25 of us.

Sometimes we were there all year and Nana would school all of us,

And sometimes we were there just for the summers.

Not too many kids get to watch a mountainside blow up...

Or get to have dad dig a huge hole with a big cat, for a swimming pool that a fresh spring fills...

The best had to be sitting around the campfire at night...

Everyones tired form the long hot days

And aunt veta just play's her guitar.
Most of the 25 cousin's picked up on it, some of us have never played but one things for sure we all love music
It feed's our souls.

Just a few memories...

Now I just need to focus, and see how I can help those poor babies that lost their daddy.

I just pray for strength tomorrow morning when I see them

My deepest condolences sweetie. I'm healing from my brothers loss 6 months ago. The only thing that seems to help when I begin to miss him so terribly, is to remind myself he is not gone...he is with me in every way that matters most...he is in my heart forever. Someday we will be reunited face to face. Godspeed.
