Sorry I have not...Tracy: I was away on the weekend. Sorry I have not commented sooner.<br /><br />When I hear of the loss of a parent I think of my parents gone - my mother in 1981 and my father in 1988. Memories remain strong of their deaths.<br /><br />My memories of them alive are stronger. From the loving words you wrote I am sure you have a lifetime of good memories of your mother.<br /><br />I wish you and your family well as you grieve your loss.<br /><br />I have found the words of Sullivan Ballou, a Union soldier, written to his wife, Sarah, just before the first battle of Bull Run in the Civil War, a battle in which he died, to be of some comfort to me when mourning the loss of a family member. I first heard the letter when it was read on the PBS series, The Civil War. The letter ends:<br /><br />"But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights . . . always, always, and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath, as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again . . ."Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-12811948776739485862014-12-02T13:09:31.178-08:002014-12-02T13:09:31.178-08:00Sorry for your trouble Tracy, and sending all best...Sorry for your trouble Tracy, and sending all best wishes and condolences.
