I never realized this until I read your post and racked my brain about something I could share or add. Sad how I just took something like LIFE for granted. Your post made me stop and smell the roses and be thankful for what I do have instead of what I don't have. A reality check. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>My heart breaks for all of those stories that you and everyone else shared. I can't imagine that depth of pain. I am sorry you suffered/ing those losses...especially Sophie...she's sounds amazing.Logziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09498806038376593403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-79603582846256030892008-03-19T09:32:00.000-07:002008-03-19T09:32:00.000-07:00Chris - that must have been tough, and no wonder t...Chris - that must have been tough, and no wonder the Police looked at you a bit funny!

The police had a strange look on their face when I walked to the door.

I know that I am not the only person to have a dream like that and hope that others my be helped by the thought.<BR/><BR/>Speedcat - Good to see you! It is good to meet another person who has these dreams and believes!<BR/><BR/>Kiki - When you lose someone that you love I think that there will always be a feeling that there is something missing inside, something not right. The feeling does not go away but it can change with time. I truly believe that your father is in the same place as my daughter and friends, a wonderful place where you will be with him again when the time comes. Hugs!<BR/><BR/>James - that is a very sad story. It is easy to find fault with our actions after the event - at the time you clearly felt you were doing the right thing and for a lot of people it would have been the right thing. I often have "if only" thoughts but try to avoid them as they only seem to lead one way. It is tough.Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-12647271146211838062008-03-19T00:32:00.000-07:002008-03-19T00:32:00.000-07:00Hey John are you going to the Battle Day?And did y...Hey John are you going to the Battle Day?<BR/><BR/>And did you check out Fields of Glory?

He got fixated with a bad woman (who was married)who liked the attention and kept messing him about sending him tapes and messages. He just got deeper and deeper into this thing and was quite inexperienced emotionally as he had never had a girlfriend. His parents and I tried to stop it but looking back we just alienated him by lining up against him (it must have seemed to him) Then one day he said the whole thing was over and he was going hiking down the South coast for a weekend to clear his head.<BR/>The next monday I got a phone call from his Dad-he had jumped off Beachy Head.<BR/>I still think about him a lot.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862893880440624911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-6898185209839019642008-03-18T19:37:00.000-07:002008-03-18T19:37:00.000-07:00Rock Chef...Sometimes when I'm driving all by myse...Rock Chef...Sometimes when I'm driving all by myself I scream "Daddy" as loudly as I can, usually repetitively...when does the sense of loss stop sucking???

This one was especially touching. It's so hard to imagine, when we're young, that not everyone we know and love is going to be on this earth for the long haul. I'm sorry for the loss of your friends and you still continue to amaze me with your positive outlook, in spite of the trials you've had to endure.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.com
