We still do. I can't say it so much at work, or out in the world, but I find ways to get the message across whenever I can. I deeply regret her death and I do not regret what I became as a result. <br /><br />That's what's happened for me for the past 40 years. Everyone is different and there is no one right way to grieve and respond, only the way that works best for you. <br /><br />I love you. I trust your choices and your path. -Thom Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999144.post-2886217587466894052014-11-05T13:25:50.550-08:002014-11-05T13:25:50.550-08:00Suzanne, my tears are flowing in streams over my c...Suzanne, my tears are flowing in streams over my cheeks and down on face dripping on to my cell phone. I weep for you and Riley. <br /><br />Your love messages will be heard by Riley and felt by all of us. I wish I could be with you to hold you in my arms and hug you back, to comfort you.

I wish I could drive to your house and just be mad or sad or confused with you. I love you all. I will continue to hope. Hope that you can concentrate on the I dids instead of the I wish I had. I will hug my kids tighter tonight. Thank you for reminding me to do this. We ALL never know tomorrow, just today. Today I hope you take it moment by moment.
