The fact that you miss them and still love them is a testament to them and all they did for you.<BR/>Keeping the happy times in your mind maybe helps doing without them now.<BR/>Very moving post, Joylebanesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988892248196307424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107421001702023994.post-28266511810532219722008-04-13T12:42:00.000-04:002008-04-13T12:42:00.000-04:00Joy, really sweet tributes to your mom and dad.

I like that about you.<BR/>ConstanceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107421001702023994.post-10869245855188000372008-04-12T20:24:00.000-04:002008-04-12T20:24:00.000-04:00Hands have such mystical attraction in several civ...Hands have such mystical attraction in several civilizations but more than that -- as your post brilliantly indicated -- it is the primordial form of contact and tenderness.. I understand your sense of irreplaceable loss but all I can say (having lost my Mom a long time ago), you honor them by doing exactly what you are doing. Talking about them, remembering their gestures, making art, etc. But also, Joy, YOU have to remember that YOU too were a loving child to both your parents and that, my dear, is equally important. Kisses, my dear friend .Artists With Artitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440267930351802396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107421001702023994.post-31423331743422884022008-04-12T17:39:00.000-04:002008-04-12T17:39:00.000-04:00I am so very lucky to still have both of my parent...I am so very lucky to still have both of my parents.
