Thanks to all who read my post about the loss of my niece dear sweet Charlotte and made such kind comments. I'm home from the family reunion which is what it turns into when someone dies and we all gather in West Virginia at the funeral home. Kathy from Cleveland, Ella & Paul from Dayton, Joann, Barney & Guy from Florida. Karen, David and family from Pennsylvania, and my family from around Ohio. Plus dozens of local family members and friends. I don't have an ounce of energy left today. I could go on with a long list of complaints. BUT I won't! The words of my mother come to me now - if you can't say something good - then say nothing at all. And today I can't think of one good thing to say. So I'll say nothing at all. Except, I'll post again after I regroup. The well has to refill and I need to let the comfort of my own life settle in around me. I'm praying the sorrow of loss gets easier for all of us to bear. And, may you and yours be blessed!
