It is strange hearing about Mom from her friends, not that they say things that surprise me. But friends are such interesting to consider, especially a parent's.Dylan Ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950665667372183964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525229216299973928.post-79514125829258533732011-06-18T11:08:10.911-05:002011-06-18T11:08:10.911-05:00From @Alisha_Mone: Great post!

Maybe because he was 39, so young, intelligent, handsome and full of life that seeing him sick and near death was more than they could possibly handle. I learned so much from that experience as a young child and I believe the true friends I have now would stand by my side no matter what. Keep blessing others!One Seeking Purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990637316385352750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525229216299973928.post-83881482086888361712011-06-18T04:52:16.446-05:002011-06-18T04:52:16.446-05:00Wonderful post,Viki, on the value of true friendsh...Wonderful post,Viki, on the value of true friendships through thick & thin.

You also show how different griefing styles are, especially for men, even more so for men of that generation. Thanks for this insightful piece.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049052238547572694noreply@blogger.com
