I had a mixture of emotions when my fa...Hi Gail,<br /><br /> I had a mixture of emotions when my father passed away. To this day I really don't know how to feel. Sometimes it just seemed easier to hide the feelings than to deal with them. <br />I can tell that you have had a stable upbringing and the love of your parents, could be the reason you surfaced so well from your own trials. <br />I don't like to place blame but at times I think life is so difficult when you have nowhere to turn. Maybe the word is downright complicated. I don't understand violence and I myself am not violent so that it makes it so difficult to deal with daily threats and anger and fear. <br />To be loved is the ultimate and it builds a strong foundation one that catches you when you are slipping and falling. I am glad that you had that foundation.<br /><br /><br />KatyChildren with out voiceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488135366287070304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828389555620814846.post-55326448082132803512009-10-21T19:12:39.010-04:002009-10-21T19:12:39.010-04:00@MEGAN- Joy Girl-
