[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 744945, member: 18958"] What a kindness and blessing. I have only very recently begun to think a certain way. On the other thread about order in the house lil spoke of her beloved parents, and her deep sadness at how few people remembered these beloved and very special parents. I thought about that because I feel the weight of how I carry the memory of my mother and grandparents. And scarcely nobody else does. These vital and tremendously important people, I alone know. Very painful this. And as painful the reality that my life in its particulars will dim, as do I. So. What I came to is that my life's mission is to burn brightly the flame of those gone before. That I light and renew the past as does lady d and each of us. If we choose well. And that the past is not an end. It is a circle. That gives me peace. We each of us has a part and a mission. My job like lady D's is to do my job as well as I am able. And wow. Did she do her job in this life well!! Yeah. Lady d. I wanted to write to lil on that other thread, this: that her parents burn so brightly in her and through her, was so much. How proud she does them. [/QUOTE]
