NYNY - Fred - Oct 15th - Trampoline, perhaps

That has to be tough - losing someone by a violent crime - very tough.
I hope you and your nephew can work things out, especially, one so
relatively young when it happened - to avoid permanent scarring.

I also hope that you get through the parole with as little pain as
possible, if possible.

I still miss my Dad, but it is different. The guy that killed my sister is
coming up for parole, so that is stirring up some things. I have one
nephew, he was not quite 18 when it happened, we are talking more about it
now.

Well, cleaning out and up also uncovered more of MOM, too. So it
really was emotional. I know it will take time and memories will
remain forever in any event.

UP/DOWN/UP/DOWN - and I'm not talking about the scale. My sister and
I had some good laughs along with the tears.

Wednesday's meeting with the scale is definitely understandable. Hang

Well, I don't think this weekend was awesome. I know I cannot be up
as much as my scale shows but I think since I only have to weighin
once a month that I may skip tomorrow. I was down in Tucson cleaning
up my dad's apartment and it was a bit hard and food choices matched
my mood.

We are doing pretty well now, but back when it happened it was awful.
Time helps. Losing any family is just hard. You are doing very well.

That must have been difficult. When my dad died 2 years ago mom had my
husband clean out dad's stuff. She couldn't even think about doing it
herself. We found a lot of memories that we kept while cleaning his stuff.
Sort of a "memories box". We did that when our daughter died. We keep it in
the basement so that we can go through her belongings when the need strikes.
Hang in there. It will take time but it will get easier for you. Give
yourself at least a year to start feeling better.

Thanks for the supporting words. There are 5 of seven boxes piled in
my living room delivered by ups today. Of course two more boxes are
NOT mine but belong to others in my office building that were
delivered to my car (G) Two boxes are somewhere (G)
