Thanks, everyone, for continuing to visit me. <BR/><BR/><B>VIRGINIA LADY</B>, yes, those are memories I'll cherish. <BR/><BR/><B>CHARLES</B>, I wonder what everyday technology we'll be scared to use when we're old? <BR/><BR/><B>BARRIE</B>, isn't it odd how often coincidences like that happen? It seems the older I get, the more frequent coincidences are. <BR/><BR/><B>BARBARA</B>, do you plan to tell your friends and family that you're going to be published?

What a long life to enjoy together, 17 years!! My heart yearns for your peace with that, I know the connection that we have with our furry friends, is something we just can not put words to.<BR/><BR/>Happy Holidays!<BR/><BR/>Much love,<BR/>ShaunaShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517544369249500224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629757467521843286.post-90432402872833401292008-12-25T04:51:00.000-05:002008-12-25T04:51:00.000-05:00This post has given me much to ponder.

But each time I experience that blast of reality that there will no more visits, forwarded dirty jokes, phone calls from the road or shared passions <I>(about Zuni fetishes, of course!)</I> it's as fresh as the time before. There is no familiarity in loss.<BR/><BR/>The truly surprising thing to me, as the passing of family and friends becomes more frequent, is the warmth I feel when a memory shakes loose and floods my brain with recollections of shared meals, happy holidays, nights beside a river .. Losing someone hasn't become the painful, empty void that I thought it would be.<BR/><BR/>As cheesy as it might sound - <I>hey, it's Christmas Eve, the perfect time to BE cheesy!</I> - love really doesn't die. Instead of grieving the passing of people I loved I find myself being so grateful for having known them and for them having shared their lives and experiences with me while they were here.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, Shauna!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438563926260354562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629757467521843286.post-10773474194617571202008-12-23T21:24:00.000-05:002008-12-23T21:24:00.000-05:00Secrets?
