Sigh...is that a 'collective sigh'?!

I think the thing that makes Rob's passing so difficult is that despite his pains, he seemed invincible. We were all rooting for him, if he could survive, then so could we. How frightening to us that he did not.

Now what? Will we survive our own misfortunes?

It's a cruel world, and Rob became our voice, the raised fist that dared to challenge the powers that be. Will we find our own voices to fill such a huge void? I wonder....

Hey there girl, it was nice meeting you in the chatroom! I instantly fell in love with your deck, man... it's so beautiful with what it looks like a huge garden around... Your home reminds me a lot of my granny's home in Sweden... Take care!

I'm glad the pics conjure up good memories for you. It's the reason I wanted to keep my house after divorce...some memories are worth holding onto!!

Hi Di!
Thanks for your comment on my "newborn blog".

You mentioned that your daughter had meningo-encephalitis when she was a baby. Yes, your daughter WAS very lucky to have survived it! I was lucky too. There are a lot of people who end up a lot worse off. I met some people through a couple online Encephalitis Survivors groups in Yahoo and MSN. Some of them were in wheelchairs or couldn't use one of their arms or had permanent neurological problems. It took me two years before I was really feeling completely back to my old self.

Thanks again for stopping by "my place". I hope I will be able to keep up with it!
