I love that you have that positive outlook on life and are trying to teach your kids it too. I love reading all the funny but I do also like when you are a little serious too. I can only imagine what this time of year does to you and your family. My heart aches for you all. Oh and fuck the fuckers!!

I can’t imagine day when I would write about my deceased son and receive anything but love back from the blogosphere.

Oh lord, my heart hurts for you.

If that happened to me I’d be more than pissed.

I’d say you have plenty to be pissed about. And I’d say bitterness is what’s created when you sublimate that pissiness and put on a happy face.

There’s no doubt that you embrace the joy. Thanks for creating so much of it for the rest of us to share.

i could offer up a whole boatload of cheesy cliches but have decided you do not need to suffer any more than you already are

based on the feedback for this post, for every meaner out there, there are many more who love & support you. the meaners can just screw right off & kiss my shitty ass

I struggle with my voice on my blog too. I feel like I should be one way or the other, not being as multiple personality as I seem. But life isn’t that simple. We are multi-dimensional. We should be able to share our griefs, our wicked sense of humor, our joys, and our strange tangents. Our blogs should reflect that. And screw those who would make us feel like getting our heart and our stories out there is self serving gain. We share the human condition……

I wanted to thank you for reminding me that there is tomorrow is not a guarantee. I painfully know that too. But I have been living lately in anger, frustration, and confusion. I have not been able to focus on the joy as much as I should. So, even though I know better, my pessimissim and attitude has been getting in the way. Thanks for making me realize this. I need to work on this.

I hope that you feel better by getting all this out. I am sure that you will find there is more in there. Don’t be afraid to share it. There are those of us that listen, and share your same pains, hopes, fears and laughs.

My best.
