Each thing, in time, taught me lessons I certainly did not want to learn. I balk to this very day at being the man I know I should be.<BR/><BR/>Nothing about you surprises me. Having read this posting I know why you are who you are. It is a terrible and wonderful thing that made you what you are now.<BR/><BR/>Through your inspiration I only hope I can become what I should be.<BR/><BR/>With great love and appreciation.<BR/><BR/>GlenGlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029577298245258307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-10865749966487482622008-04-18T15:54:00.000-07:002008-04-18T15:54:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry you were denied the right to cremate ...I'm so sorry you were denied the right to cremate her back then, and so glad you have the chance to do what you want now.<BR/><BR/>And I'm very glad to have found your blog.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-59919594330348298262008-04-17T14:19:00.000-07:002008-04-17T14:19:00.000-07:00Reading your post here -- communicating with you t...Reading your post here -- communicating with you this past week in photo and words -- I have very much felt the vibes I feel when watching Losing Layla. The empowerment Vanessa's and Layla's images emote from the screen -- the ache and yet the full knowing that this is as "right" (when there is no right about it) can get for me...<BR/><BR/>My whole heart to you, Jo. This is the point to it all, isn't it. To set up sacred space in which the bereaved can feel okay about doing whatever is right and most empowering for them. And whatever we need to do to hold that space -- make that space -- model what that space can look like...<BR/><BR/>I feel like that was the point (where there is really no point) to Kota's life and death. He is my "go this way, not that way" sign. He taught me what *choice* really means. <BR/><BR/>Just a million xoxoxo's to you!<BR/>And a thank you for holding sacred space -- for yourself, for Chey, for all of us.<BR/>meKara Chipoletti Jones of GriefAndCreativity dot comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110578035201758404noreply@blogger.com
