A young mans mom passed away this morning. He is trying to be brave, but I think all of you know whats going on in his heart. He is surrounded by those who love him and he is safe. I think he needs to know that he is not mourning her passing alone and that prayers are being said for her to whatever god there be. I pray that she will find the rest and peace she never had in life, that she can look down on her child and know that he is safe and happy and that he misses her.

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you......

Oh yes, Curtis,

It must be really hard to lose one's mother when one is young. It's the young man that needs the comfort. Do tell him that and hug him or show that you care in whatever way he will find acceptable. And next week too!

Love,
Anthony

That is very sad, and my heart goes out to the young man, wherever he is. I am thinking of him.

These are very difficult days for him,
so it's good to hear that he is surrounded by loving people,
hopefully, for as long as he needs their extra support.
He and his mother are in my thoughts and prayers.

On Tuesday it will be fifteen years since my mother died. It gets better, but you never forget. I understand this young man's difficulties even though I don't know the circumstances. I sympathise and send my condolences. Your mother is always your mother.

Hugs

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Curtis, thank you so much. [message #48059 is a reply to message #48052]

Thank you, dear little brother, for this kind note and expression of caring and love. Alan is going through a very difficult time not only with the reality of Jeanette's death but the manner of her passing and all the other unseemly details. If you can find it in your heart to write to him directly I know it would mean a lot to him. Eldon and Daniel have been with us nearly all day, as have the girls. Studying together seems to have taken his mind off things. At least for a while. He's back at his foster parents tonight and Kristin is visiting for a while.

Thank you again Tennessee!

Tell him that all of the emotions he has right now are normal. He will be feeling so many things, including angry and abandoned. So many people will be trying not to talk about the death, and he'll feel alone becaise of that, too.

He is allowed to shout, "even" at his mother for dying. And real men cry hot tears. He is allowed to cry. He does not "have to be a man" because he is one anyway.

Of course he is in my thoughts and prayers.
