Better Late than Never !!!
I am writing with a much lightened heart, some weighty burden has been lifted, so when I speak of Chris, know that I am celebrating his life and am not in a bad place emotionally,,, thanks to all of you!!Poor Chris, I am always pleading with him to leave me just one more "bouquet"---and God knows I have received gardens----- and absolutely never when I expect it--- for example---
this picture was taken on Feb. 02, 2004,,, the first birthday after his death--- All day I waited for something, anything, some kind of sign, but as the day ended, so did my hopes -- it was a difficult day, but I took a picture of the sunset on that day, for whatever reason-- posterity-- to memorialize his birthday in some way---
After reading H's story, I thought about that picture, and found it archived on an old CD---- Sure looks like a Ruby Sunset to me !!!!!

So, interesting how things are happening around us in different places and times that we don't seem to be aware of and then with one revelation, there are so many other pieces of our broken and confusing lives that just fit together...
This story is like the cover on the puzzle, one that help us know what the puzzle is supposed to look like in the end, and it helps guide us to fitting the pieces back together...
Such a wonderful present! Enjoy!

That reminds me so much of a dream that Mikki had , where Chris appeared, and when her husband was still alive-- maybe she will share it in a post, if not, that's ok--what you say is so true--- and the meaning of karass becomes so clear as it makes itself apparent----
It is so funny how the puzzle fits together now - that is a beautiful sunset ..

HI Nan,
After reading H's post and after reading all your comments on it, it made me realize that regardless of the great distances that separate us, we all still are able to share more love and concern than we get from people who live down the street and around the corner.
It's phenomenal, really. Truly is.
=)
That's so true HB-- at the computer,we wear no mask, game face, or hidden agenda--- it's heart to heart!!!
Dear Nanster, emailed you. :-)
