A...Oh, Ida your poetry is so beautifully sorrowful. And Gramma Ann, your comments are so heart felt. Sometimes sorrow needs to be written and written in order to begin to heal. Words are so powerful and even in despair can offer a path toward healing. I love the image of the curtains flickering in the wind. I think now I will look at my own windows with that image in my mind's eye. Thank you, Ida for sharing.<BR/>And maybe, if you leave the windows open just a bit, maybe some other joy will fly in....L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08030622402438915251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259072217473719819.post-84897497733589160522008-12-12T21:04:00.000+01:002008-12-12T21:04:00.000+01:00But they are happy tears, because, it was a happy ...But they are happy tears, because, it was a happy memory.

I have learned over the years to try to dwell on the happy times. Yes, I have been in my black hole, as I call it a few times. It isn't a pleasant place to be, but I always try to climb out of it.<BR/><BR/>I have a son who is now 50 years old, but when he was 20 years old and married 4 months he fell and was paralyzed from just below the waist. He has lived in a wheelchair since. (There is a picture of him and his brother on "Mercedez Fun Room" blog.) He and his wife have been married 30 years and have 3 teen-age daughters. They are very happy.<BR/><BR/>4 years and 4 months ago my son who was then 37 years old committed suicide. That broke my heart, but I am moving on with my life. Nothing hurts more than when a loved one commits suicide. The whole family was devastated. But we remember him with happy memories.<BR/><BR/>So it isn't easy like I said before, but it is possible to heal.<BR/><BR/>Love from Gramma Ann Gigi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092019687497845746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259072217473719819.post-44504202305124297692008-12-12T20:38:00.000+01:002008-12-12T20:38:00.000+01:00Dear Ida,Please share some happy memories with me ...Dear Ida,<BR/><BR/>Please share some happy memories with me about you and your dear loved one.
