It's one of those things you don't plant unless you really, really mean it.<br /><br />And so it is with your dad. the vessel that he occupied, that you recognized and could put a name to is no more. But he lives on. As long as those who knew and loved him remember.<br /><br />And something tells me that won't ever be a problem.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-26687356887402538912009-10-04T08:12:33.984-04:002009-10-04T08:12:33.984-04:00beautifulbeautifultheMuddledMarketPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153750055087770871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-44495499185084011432009-10-04T06:48:23.494-04:002009-10-04T06:48:23.494-04:00No one really understands the need to give blood u...No one really understands the need to give blood until you've had a family member who required it. I'd never given blood until Hayley went through the autologous donations she made during her 2nd surgery and we had to make the decision to use donor blood and continue with the surgery. Since then I try to hit every possible clinic here I can. <br /><br />It's interesting that one of my childhood memories is of my father coming into my room after I'd fallen asleep and ensuring I was all tucked in. In those moments I really felt loved.NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06411419545912589126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-43703361176939022552009-10-03T23:51:02.283-04:002009-10-03T23:51:02.283-04:00P.S.

It's wonderful that you had seen your parents so recently and shown them the love they gave so readily to you.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-7338472285149675772009-10-03T23:32:02.404-04:002009-10-03T23:32:02.404-04:00I think the most poignant image you evoke with thi...I think the most poignant image you evoke with this piece of writing is leaning over to kiss your parents' foreheads as they slept...I had to read through tear-blurred eyes after that. You are a gifted writer, Carmi, and I won't stop saying it - my mom always taught me to continue to give praise in a world where people only seem to criticize and complain...you have touched me deeply.

I know how it was for them to lose their folks. It's so hard and so sad.<br /><br />As I read your post, I found myself wondering what the word is for the feeling of speechless compassion from afar. I send this nameless feeling to you now.SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-37676708020957807662009-10-03T21:46:56.000-04:002009-10-03T21:46:56.000-04:00Wow that is something else.
