    A Personal Note

    By Doctor Cleveland on Sat, 03/05/2016 - 5:24pm | Personal

    As many people who read this blog know, my mother has been very ill for some time. I don't have much to say about that, but having mentioned how sick she was it seems strange to let the topic drift off inconclusively.

    My mother has passed away. We had her funeral a week ago. I may have more to say about that later, but right now I do not.

    If you are a praying type, spare a few thoughts for my dad, who was married to her for more than 47 years, and who has suffered the heaviest loss of all. Thank you.

    Much love from our community, Doc.  We are all your friends here and we all wish you and yours the very best. These can be lonely times but if it helps to know that a bunch of strangers care, well... we do!

    Tomorrow, tomor...
    Cut down in whichever stage
    Of life burns the same

    Perhaps to dream is
    The human capacity
    For grief that heals us

    Pain falls drop by drop...
    It matters not that others
    Felt thus. Yet it does.

    Best regards, pp

    I did see the pictures on Facebook, and I am sorry for your loss, and that of your father.

    Noting the type of person you are, your mother must have been a remarkable woman.  Thinking of you during this difficult time.  Jan Maugans
