I was warming up to writing about some of the more emotional losses... and then just went with this. I'm glad if it touched some of you. I truly appreciate your feedback and your kind words.Cookie’s Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539520794775363132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670299088597355474.post-5829338373742085862011-11-24T12:47:58.172-07:002011-11-24T12:47:58.172-07:00Writing about people we love brings them closer.

Though I have been lucky in my life not to have lost too many close to me, the few I have lost are still difficult to think about, let alone write about. I was captivated the second I read the first sentence. Really. I am going to get Elisabeth's book, but I have to wait until I am emotionally stable enough to read it. We almost lost our younger son as an infant last year, and I'm not sure I'm ready.Laura@Catharsishttp://findcatharsis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670299088597355474.post-86002970813398038552011-11-21T14:31:12.657-07:002011-11-21T14:31:12.657-07:00Thanks again everyone for your kind comments.
