I somehow commented in 2008 about Pops.

Here, all I can see is the love. And wishing so much that I had people like this in my own family.

Extra Hugs from me, Stef.

Stef,

I'm sorry to read this, and to be reading the entries you posted yesterday in the wrong order.

I've never known a family where a member has an addiction problem. I wouldn't know what to do, what to counsel, other than to protect yourself.

All of this comment is useless now that she's no longer alive. But it doesn't make your visions of the past any easier to deal with. She must have been a fundamentally unhappy person. Maybe remembering this little detail will help you look at her life and the repercussions on yours and the rest of your family in a light that will give you a bit more understanding of who she was and why she felt obligated to choose such a turbulent path.

I don't know how I missed this. Perhaps we were not writing in each others blogs for longer than a year? I find that hard to believe. Anyway, I'm here because of today's entry.

Death is the one part of life most of us don't know how to deal with; it surprises us with its unexpectedness.

The mourning will last for as long as your love for your sister was deep. There is a special bond between siblings that few of us can deny. They say the love is deepest between siblings, as well as the hate when the relationship goes sour.

I hope by now that the soreness of this grieving is less. If it is not, pamper yourself and tell people why you're hurting. Most people will understand our sudden remembering of a loved one and offer a shoulder to cry on.

It's Day 4 of the New Year, and I'm eagerly looking for Clean Slate. Hope it can be found soon.

You and that farm...

I'm thinking of starting a new blog too, I'll call it "Emotional? ExZACKtly!", and it'll basically be where I test out my material for the one man show I intend to perform one day.

You and Jack have a great 2010!

I've completely given up on Resolutions. I never kept them and always guilt-tripped myself about it. Yours sound reasonable.

I'm still not back into reading, but I think joining the 500-a-day group would be a good idea. I liked it when I participated.

Happy New Year. Hope to see you in blogsville more regularly.

A Happier New Year!

So glad to see your blog again, and I like the idea of a 'new' Clean Slate. I may just do that myself! I look forward to reading more from you!

I was wondering what the final book count for the year would be. I've been thinking that I really need to read more in the coming year, so maybe I'll set a numerical goal. I think I'll shoot for something a lot lower though.

Happy New Year. I'll look forward to the new blog.

Leaving your options open is a pretty good way to start a new year and something we shold do more often.

All good wishes for 2010 and I look forward to reading your 'Clean Slate.' I shall stick with my boring old blog in between farming and faffing on facebook.
