I ...oh, Bonnie, I'm so sorry about your losses.<br />I understand the pain you feel for your soldier in his loss. I'm sure he appreciates your concern for him.<br />May he and your cousin's family remember the good in both lives and allow that to help them, and you, heal.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099808690177823190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21084151.post-14340589308119216832014-09-04T11:00:36.147-04:002014-09-04T11:00:36.147-04:00I hope friends and family comfort you during these...I hope friends and family comfort you during these trying times. I always try to remember the deceased for their good deeds and the good times shared.<br /><br />Just this week 2 deaths - one of my cousins died (only 51 yrs old), and a dear girlfriend of a dear friend, one of the soldiers I adopted in 2005 while he was in Iraq. Why do I grieve more for the girlfriend I never met? Perhaps because I know how much my soldier loved her.<br /><br />bonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21084151.post-27189154348971245862014-09-02T23:46:46.615-04:002014-09-02T23:46:46.615-04:00hmmm...must be why I exited to the lobby after the...hmmm...must be why I exited to the lobby after the viewing when they brought in the incense and started the mass for the dead, Jess.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099808690177823190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21084151.post-71125991596449628392014-09-02T05:58:05.289-04:002014-09-02T05:58:05.289-04:00Funerals are where you're returned to school, ...Funerals are where you're returned to school, sit in the back, refuse to raise your hand and hope the teacher doesn't call on you.

Eight in two years is a bit much though. I'd cut back. It's good to be a guy, such behavior is tolerated well. Of course, if you are still going to them... it means they haven't held yours yet.<br /><br />I'm actually a little jealous of those in the casket. Just a little. Urhm, most of them. <br /><br />Relax and just... remember those people, in the time you knew them. Heck, be a kid again. You seem to be, but it's easy to forget sometimes. Good luck.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.com
