>Anyway, just checking in to see if anyone is out there.<><><<<>>><><> Yep! both my parents have made their journey. I have been an orpahn for some time now. Mostly I fell like the anchors that once tied me to this earth are now cut. It does get better when you can slowly get a sence of your parents still living on and trying to accomplish and complete things threw you. Sometimes I see my fathers energy in a tree or my mothers in a flower..that helps me a lot. But it is still very hard for me when I need to ask them a question and I remember they are not here..Of course I ask them anyway and just put it out there in the universe to get an answer....Hey Bow, where is that brew you promised me when we play the Rams Head?...I`ll trade you a free ticket for a brew when I am in your neck of the woodz or should I say water, next time..later Cuz, ^^^^ T.
