Heather's Daughter

I remember my son crying as Heather's daughter lay dying. He just cried and cried. It's still a good memory somehow.

Oh wow, the things we endure that give a different meaning to our lives. Well worded.

Wow! The power of emotion. I will never forget the day my mom died and the tears my dad shed like a steady rainfall.

so interesting how it's also a good memory. If the death is necessary to end much grief and pain, I agree with you!

Death is part of life which is why we celebrated my husband’s and son’s transition. They would have wanted us to. We are happy they are no longer suffering and have gone home. My children and grandchildren don’t fear death, they understand it as a part of life. We will get to rejoin them one day. Blessings xxoo
