Sorry to hear you’ve had upsetting news. I’m not very good with offering support with people’s grief so all I’ll say is – take care, I’ll be thinking of you at this time. Mostly, when older generations die and our family have funerals they end up being quite pleasant affairs, an opportunity to see the extended family and talk of memories from happier times – I hope your nan’s funeral is more like this, if she was active she’s probably left people with lots of fun memories. As you say, life goes on… luckily.

Sorry to hear about the news. I lost my grandparents when I was really young so never really got that upset over it despite having good times with my grandad or so I recall from what little I remember. "Little Monster" <r…@localhost.localdomain> wrote in message

Response:

Hope I get the wording right, Monster, I’d like you to know you have my sympathy. It was a special b-day though, celebrating life coming and going, the eternal circle we all have to accept. A special way to think of your grandparents on such a special day will make them be with you when you need them spiritually. I hold it with those indigenous folks who believe in the connectedness with their forefathers. Wise people, hm? Sympathies from Sumi

Just saw this now, Monster, and your original post carried here is partial as well it seems, so I did not get the "whole" news or your words about your grandmom’s departure…. Can’t help but think now of how your dream of love for "old books and old knowledge" might have been a bit of a sort of pre-knowledge… Maybe she was sending thoughts your way just then…? Grandparents in a way are the so so many chapters that were written for us to happen to be born… As Sklenge -or was it Sumire?- said, there is a thing of contninuity and life cycle to her passing the day of your bday…Carrying on the bagage of the previous generation in our very cells, their life continued that way through us, prolonged beyond their life on earth… In a metaphoric way, it is as if she handed you the pen to write the next life chapters…Through your life and each year and bday, carryign her life and cells one year further through you, writing life, hers and yours, as you go on… (((((((((((((((((((((Monster))))))))))))))))))))))) Not much one can say to bring comfort in such moments… So may the hug say it all…..

Hi Monster,  i’m really very sorry about your grandmother Monster.  i am the undisputed king of such things my friend. On my birthday. My foster father died. His mother died. My brother-in-law died Janis Joplin died. Every year now, my foster family members call me and ask who i’m going to kill this year. i’m really sorry i missed your birthday too Monster, i’ve been pretty depressed as of late and i tend to get grouchy when depressed so i spent some time in a.s.s. letting off some steam rather than taking it out on the very nice folks here. You are a very nice Monster and it’s a dirty shame that bad things happen to good Monsters. Take care tom "Little Monster" <r…@localhost.localdomain> wrote in message
