Oh, Heidi,

Thank you for choosing to share your wisdom, your insight, your grief with us. It has propelled me to feel some feels that I keep at bay fairly successfully, and I'm so grateful for your post, it nudged me over to where I really needed to be. My heart is on its way, floating over the Atlantic towards you.💔

I am so very sorry for your losses . I know the feeling … is this real ? I can’t be … when my son died suddenly my world crashed , then my dad was hit by a flatbed truck, killed instantly . Hearing my mother’s voice on the phone telling me …. It sounded so unreal .

I don’t make long term plans anymore and I make a point never to leave without telling my loved ones I love them . I kiss more, I hug more - always aware this could be the last time I see them. Again my heart aches for such a needless loss , terrible shock , devastating for all .

Oh, Heidi. This hurts. I'm glad for your commitment to creating beauty with others. It's not an escape but an affirmation of life.

Thank you, Rona. I know you’re right--not an escape but an affirmation of life. I’m feeling that this week.
