I bought a book on being an "orphaned adult" and Matte is reading it to me a little at a time. It may be helpful in the end. It does say that some people never recover from their grief over the loss of their parents, I hope that is not the case though it feels like it now. I am grateful to him for his kindness and patience with my grief, I don't know that I would have that kind of patience for someone else, I hardly have it for myself. I know you would be very disappointed in my behavior but what does it matter now?
These pretty lilacs were from Melody's yard while I was there just a few weeks ago but it some ways it feels like you have already been gone for a very long time.
