Wonder about what might have been, and wonder about what never was. <br /><br />As you may remember, I lost my father to a senseless murder in 1983. I still feel his loss.<br /><br />But if you're lucky, and you have the patience, you'll see her again reflected in the children you have and the life you lead. <br /><br />Take heart, eventually the pain fades and the loss ... though always there ... becomes bearable. It's hard for me to imagine that my father has been dead for almost 30 years. And that dark place is still here, but I don't visit the emptiness very often anymore. I believe he would want it that way.<br /><br />Your friend,<br /><br />MattM.D. vonHonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619421848996300717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308561882646212036.post-36232984544902277342011-05-05T09:33:20.923-04:002011-05-05T09:33:20.923-04:00You are such a wonderful friend!
