I do hope these remembrance pieces are respectful. That's how they're intended.<BR/><BR/>Nothingman, is cremation the norm? I can see the comfort of returning to an elemental state.<BR/><BR/>Szelsofa, yes, we see the differences clearly. I'm intrigued by the "sign." I'd like to believe it's more, but that belief is unnatural to me.<BR/><BR/>Julie, I'm looking forward to seeing your perspectives too. Welcome to this community!<BR/><BR/>Church Lady, I've thought about what you said. What came naturally today was to listen. I think I heard some things behind my fatigue lately.<BR/><BR/>Kaycie, this one really is striking. I only post 3 times per week, so the chance of hitting the same date is even more slim.<BR/><BR/>Jaye, last night when I realized what was about to happen, I had the same feeling.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, yes, an adieu. And a promise.<BR/><BR/>Julie, you're most welcome here.<BR/><BR/>JLB, a little rosemary...I liked that. Thank you on behalf of Margaret.<BR/><BR/>Jeff, definitely! Strangely, I seem to recall this happening before.<BR/><BR/>Bev, cemeteries are such peaceful places. After the furor dies down (no pun intended), it seems like quite a nice neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>Anti-Wife, I hear you. I'll be happy with simple rest.<BR/><BR/>Church Lady, sometimes these connections do happen. I try to embrace them when they do. (Perhaps this will spur me to work again on one I haven't written about yet.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-20674228693200342952007-11-28T20:25:00.000-05:002007-11-28T20:25:00.000-05:00So now you have to come back with a story befittin...So now you have to come back with a story befitting the spiritual connection.<BR/>:-)Chris Eldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794946908789120139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-78123289314457857612007-11-28T19:21:00.000-05:002007-11-28T19:21:00.000-05:00"Adieu my friends, weep not for me.
