I don't write about it because it makes things raw. Raw feels painful and painful is something I tend to avoid when possible.

Great advice though. Thanks.

Yes at times I reflect on that but I just give it to God, and go on.As a Director of religious education I had to ministered to young people often, and I always told them to look beyond what you did not have and look and hold on to what you have received. God loves Geeks, and so do I. God bless you.

Never getting ot know them the way most of my cousins did. That is why I am so happy that we can live where my parents are so my kids get to know at least one set of grandparents.

The most damage happens after the eye passes over. There is a calm but then suddenly everything gets hit from the opposite direction. Palm trees are made to survive these storms. They literally lay over in the wind. They are supposed to bend and not break, but when they get hit 180 degrees from where they had been they get ripped up by the roots. Grief can be like that when we just start feeling like we'll survive and then another aspect of the loss hits us from another direction.

I went and read your SCL post that I had never read before. It sent chills down my spine. No sarcasm this time, just pure joy for your beautiful family, from down deep in my heart. Thanks for sharing that. Hug your wife for me.
