L. B. Mek said:

an emotional write that conveys that stark reality of living, continuing even after the worst has come and taken all, we once were certain - we couldn\'t survive without,
so we survived - kept our promise to keep on fighting and our reward... well, I guess we collect that at the end, together with all the meaning left-out in that barren pamphlet we get - when we unpack life,
a great read, thanks for sharing

Very well said, Tayama, but sad. There is not much anyone can say that would lift your spirits, except that it is not us who decide when it is time to go. God does have a reason for everything that happens. It is up to us to find it.
I wish you strength and do hope you will be able to look forward again with confidence.

Love First
RDS said:

A nice reminder that Love is...unconditional if it truly is the pinnacle, the peak of human experience.
Love, you make me forget myself is another way of saying such vain impressions are not worth remembering.
Being hurt is just the pain of caring, resonating against false expectations
Go gently my friend

Years
jarcher54 said:

So bare-bones, yet so pregnant with hints, inferences, and imagined details. Witty and poignant, unique to you yet universal. Leads so many and cries when alone.. I am 66 and am solidly in that place... haven\'t has a clue in decades, but yes lucky in many ways. I enjoyed your autobiography today.
