Laura, Your words are very kind and I thank you...I also send my condolences to you and your family...I am very sorry to hear that you lost your father...but loss probably isn't the best word...for although I am not religious...I am spiritual...and like you I never really feel people leave us completely...the gifts they give us in life...go on and on...Lizzy gave me many of those...just knowing her...so it will take all of eternity for me to open those gifts in my mind...and I will embrace every moment she enters my thoughts peace & love Kathy

Kathy,
Believe me I feel your loss!
The words you just said to me is exactly how I feel about my Mother who died 3 years ago.
I still find myself wanting to call her or tell her something....I think my biggest sadness is her love for her grandchildren. Her first Great Grandchild was born 1 year after she died, she would have adored him.
Take Care,
Lisa
Speak kindly, Live simply, Care deeply, Love generously, and BLAH, HA, HA, LOUDLY! every chance you get.

and, kaki
there is a special sort of loss for people who are caregivers...
when you lose the person you're caring for, you're left behind, alone
and with a hole in the life you've been leading.
and ya get that...i spent so much time doing things, i never said
goodbye...
and someone should say thanks...mahalo, kaki
take good care of yourself.

Hi Kathy,
So sad to hear about the tragic passing of your wonderful friend Lizzy.
I hope she is at peace now, and that you can find some comfort in that knowledge.
Hugs,
Sue

Hi Lisa, I am only assuming that little guy Jack in your photo... is the grandchild you mentioned? If so...he is adorable! I understand why you'd want to see the look on your mothers face as he grows...although she is slowing down...I am still fortunate to have my mother ...and she, like yours...lives for her children...her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren... But...I will always believe the people we've loved and lost in the physical world....are always with us in the spiritual sense... and they somehow see all...and they let us know...with a feeling...or a thought...it's never the same for us of course...but given my belief...I better behave myself...cause Lizzy will be 'scolding me' in her funny way...and I'll feel it...but I hope she does...because then I'll smile peace & love Kathy

Thanks again Peni,
I was not able to be a physical caregiver to Lizzy due to our distance...and that was a constant frustration for me...but I knew she had others surrounding her and helping her in that way...Diana was a Godsend...and that eased my mind knowing she was there in that way for Lizzy...but we stayed connected and close...and we were able to say our good-byes...
but ya know Peni...there have been those I've loved in the past...and not been able to say good-bye...I'm sure everyone experiences that at some point in their lives...I don't think it's the actual good-bye that is most important...it's how you treat each other in life....respect and love...no regrets...that's what counts!
peace & love
Kaki
