First the good news. My sister, Clara, has started a new blog. It is called My Meme Mania. Sound interesting? Check it out. There are those times, when we need an idea to use for the next post on our blogs. Memes are an answer. And Clara has the provided the place to find them.
Way to go Sis. I’m sure it will be a great success. We’ll be watching for your return to the EC world too.
In keeping with her new blog, she has also started a new meme, which she has titled, “I Did It – Monday.” Read details here. This one looks it should be a lot of fun. I hope to see that you’ve visited Clara, and I’m looking for to what you did.
The Bad News
Recently I’ve started exchanging EC drops with Jamie at Comatised. I spent Wednesday afternoon listening to songs trying to find one appropriate to post here this Memorial Day weekend. I was feeling sad and melancholy as I remembered the family members who had served and paid the ultimate price. Then I went back to returning EC drops, and that brought me to Jamie’s blog. The post title was, “No Words.” What could this be about? I started to read, “I woke up an hour ago to the awkward silence all through the house. I’d fallen asleep in tears sometime around 3am, to the sound of Pogo’s raspy breathing, remembering her last day.“
Jamie is a young mother, and she was reporting the passing of her ten-year-old daughter, Pogo. I so wanted to post a comment, but knew that I could not. My sons, now in their 40s are healthy and happy. Her wonderful daughter is no longer with her. Her post title, “No Words” told how she felt, but it is also good advice to me. If I could, I would sit with her and help her weep, for it is now time to do that.
If you will, say a prayer for Jamie and her family. Thanks.
Oh my goodness, I can’t imagine losing a child, especially one so young. My heart goes out to her and her family.
