((Kathy and Sinatihawk)), thank you for your words.

Sinatihawk, sorry to hear about your grandmother. I see what a grandmother means. My own grandmother and I were very close to eachother. When she passed away I found it very hard to realize she's not here anymore, so "incredible" that someone so vivid stops living. But she was old, and everything was natural and she told me not to be sad. As that was her last wish, I try to follow it and from time to time I have bright dreams of her at night. It feels good :)

Moikka (= hi there) Kathy, no problem at all "being late" - people can't be everywhere at the same time, and they don't have to say anything so I appreciate you showing up too. I didn't expect so many reactions, but ofcourse it's positive. Hmmm, I'm not christian and don't devide life after this world in heaven or hell, just one good place for everyone (yeah, I also have a dream). I know this sounds childish but I imagine Anna being in good company now, together with Bowdrill's mother and niece, Steve's dogs Copper Rain and Nelson Mandela, Sinatihawk's grandmother, your bird Woodstock and my grandmother. What else can you do. I think it's healthy to seek and give comfort, also at a message board - it's there for communication.

You know, there's one thing you said over at Indianz once I'll never forget, one of the most beautiful and thoughtful things I've ever heard. It was during a discussion about words and messages and some very tough & rough people thought it was ok not to bother about the effects of what they said because they're hidden behind a screen and nobody can see them (alright I bet it is good to take what you read online with a pinch of salt, depending on who says what when and how), hence it doesn't matter what you type. Then you showed up and drew the conclusion that if that's the way things are, then what blind people say to eachother face to face wouldn't mean a thing... That was a very good answer. Nobody commented it, either because they didn't get the point or because the point was so clear.

Enough of philosophizing for the day. See ya.
