   John-
   It doesn’t sound stupid. We are humans and there just aren’t words, in any language, to express what we feel for people who are suffering such great loss. Recently a cousin, who I spent a great deal of time with during her pregnancy because we work together, lost her baby at five days old. No warning. No nothing. She fed him in the early morning hours and then at her next time check of him he was gone. In my rule book, which has nothing to do with how the universe operates, this is something that’s not supposed to happen. . . but it does. I had no words. Even my faith seemed to fail me because the trappings of religion really provide no coverage to this kind of hurt even when you desperately want it to. Parents aren’t supposed to lose their children like that. So like you seemed to have done, I meandered through it as best as I could. I stood with her at the funeral, said what I could, held her and we cried. The first time I saw that little baby was at that funeral. Broke my heart. I learned that love is not really in what we say. . .it is definitely felt and people know when it’s there.

   Lisa,

   Thanks for sharing. I think it’s so true that sometimes the love is wordless.

   WOO wee! I know I keep check on everyone’s comments. I love Internet drama, and it almost always gets started with a comment.

   Smooch,

   LOL.

   It’s not so much a drama really. But I’d like to have a chance to respond to all comments. Good or bad.

   And I really didn’t take it to heart at all. Gosh, there’s just too little time to dwell in it. Said, and done.

   You aren’t stupid. That is a beautiful way to say what you wanted to say to Madge. “Here is my love.” That’s all that’s necessary. I’m glad you and Bruce are a part of my life with Michael. Here is my love.

   Eric
