Thanks to our TRF community
First off, a special thanks to BBL for gifting me a spot in the Batman Giveaway. He and a few others knew I was away for a spell. Also to Fr. John, Dr. Tom and others for their support...
The rest of this is not the thread I'd ever have guessed I might be writing. I've been away from TRF since early May. It was due to my wife unexpectedly slipping the surly bonds of this earthly existence after 2 weeks in ICU. So this is my first post since then - other than a couple of PMs. I know this is a better thing for her but it naturally leaves me wishing it had not been visited upon us. I'm not going down the rocky road of despair - just wishing this had come some 10 years hence. I'm back - at least in between the details of reshaping our family's lives. So - looking forward - my spirit is inclined to share one thought that is oft repeated - “Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.” It just has a fresh meaning now...

Please accept my most heartfelt condolences. I am new to this forum, but a veteran on another forum devoted to another interest. I know from there how a forum can be much more than a simple website, but a community.
Please feel free to reach out if you need anything. |

So sorry Paul, Can't even imagine
As it says below.... the way I still think about the loved ones lost in my family. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Someone so special can never be that forgotten treasure, the happy times always pop up at a great time.

So sorry Paul. I cannot imagine how you are feeling right now. It really shows us how inconsequential everything else is next to life and our loved ones.
I pray that you and the family can find peace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
