It is a beautiful reminder of what we have in life, even when we feel everything is falling apart. <br /><br />I'm a new follower (thanks to Twitter), and I'm grateful to have shared your story.katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122024395164654272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585199145085310155.post-11368560895125672432010-04-29T21:59:01.856+10:002010-04-29T21:59:01.856+10:00So sorry to read of your loss, Jayne.

I am so grateful that his death was not a long and drawn-out agonising one and that he was surrounded by his family when he died. It's strange and surreal for a few days after the passing, life DOES go on, and I almost got a surge of zest for life immediately afterwards, going out every night and just enjoying people and vivacity - BECAUSE I had been in so much close contact with death. It had the opposite effect on me (I know!) when people assumed I should be grieiving. Let me know if you want to talk at any time, or even just to see you off with a drink of a banner placard (cheesy but fun?!) at the airport?

I don't think I've been on Twitter for months so I haven't been privy to the goings on in your world. You have my sincerest condolences on the loss of your dad. I fortunately have not had to go through the loss of a parent, but I did lose my aunt to cancer not too long ago and most recently, an uncle to suicide a few weeks ago. It's really hard to have gleeful moments in times such as those. So,I'm grateful that I have had your blog to read. And though I may not have been commenting much, I do read every one of them when they come in my email. They always make me smile. So please keep writing about the gleeful moments Jayne, to remind the rest of us that you can find glimmers of happy when the world seems it's bleakest. It's those glimmers that give us the strength to keep trudging on to clearer, sunnier skies. Know that I appreciate every glimmer, every twinkle, and every beam of glee you send to my inbox.
