This is such a well written post, and in a way inspirational to some I would imagine. To look at what you've lived with in the past along with what was dropped in your lap after the passing of your mom and see that you still give your best effort to do what needs to be done to keep things together. A lesser man would have passed the buck so to speak. Really refreshing to see in this me, me, me world we live in. Take Care, your in my thoughts always :) I felt the same way E-von did when I read this yesterday, it was so heartfelt that I found myself crying though most of it, so I decided to wait until to today to comment.

It's all so sad. My heart really goes out to your sister. I've only met her maybe twice, but you're right, she looks much older than I remember, too. My heart also goes out to you more than I can put into words....this year has brought so many changes for you and your family, but especially you. I have to say, that I really think you're doing a great job of taking the reins and holding it all together as best as you can. At least that's the impression I'm getting. I feel like we need to get together real soon, just the two of us, and go on a long hike or something. To have a little "spirit quest" or something, to re-connect. You're always in my thoughts and prayers, though, as you know. This was a really poignant entry….there were several times that I couldn’t help but cry. It’s all so sad.

But challenges have a way of making us stronger and sometimes gives us great inspiration in writing, music and art.

]]> Comment on Having a rough morning: Anger and Love for the passed by pcornqueen http://mattsearles.com/podcast_blog/2008/09/17/having-a-rough-morning-anger-and-love-the-passed/#comment-2322 pcornqueen Wed, 17 Sep 2008 05:56:22 +0000 http://mattsearles.com/podcast_blog/2008/09/17/having-a-rough-morning-anger-and-love-the-passed/#comment-2322 This is an amazingly touching and personal blog. The fears and heartache your going through I think so many people can relate too. It's also made me feel the need to stop and reflect on situations in my own life, the relationship I have with my children and the flaws of my parents. I can also relate with that feeling of being utterly alone in the trials of life, but that's when you need to remember all the people who embrased you when your mom passed away, and know that your not as alone as you feel you are.
