I’m with you…. remembering Hugh….. thinking of Karen.
this is my first night of checking out blogs of dear friends to catch up, to help me turn outside of myself and have a break from all the grief stricken moments that flood my reality non-stop. and here’s what i find. the tears are flowing once again, but not with sorrow; they are flowing because i am so beyond touched for this beautiful and heartfelt message, honoring my hugh. hugh was always highly curious about the times i would be logged onto blogs for hours – i let him read some of the exchanges so he could see why i was so caught up. immediately – he GOT it, and was so happy for me to be able to connect and participate, and maybe even a little wistful, wishing he could make some new friends, too. i think he was finally ready to go off on his own and see what he could contribute to the myeloma community, maybe connect with a kindred spirit or two. he never got the chance – but at times i feel certain that curiosity has gotten the better of him, and he’s spending a fair amount of time now peeking over my shoulder. so, honey-boy, if you’re there, look at how CC and annemarie have honored you. and wait – hold on, don’t go just yet. here’s something from me to you – I STILL LOVE YOU LIKE CRAZY!
thanks, my darling friends for such a lovely and thoughtful post and response. you blow me away with your big, loving hearts, and i love you, too.
