In reply to MARTHALENE GERMANY HARRIS. What wonderful, kind and hearfelt things to say. I'm beyond touched by your words, so much so I don't feel like I can give a proper thank you, but thank you so much anyway. Also, thank you for including the words of your mother, trust me the same thoughts have passed through all of our minds. Thank you again, and God bless.

Holly, You have never met me and probably never will. But you spoke so lovingly and poignantly of missing your precious sister, ,that I felt I had to write briefly.

You see, I do know your Mom, Tanya. We went to the same school in Union, Mississippi, and though I am several years her senior, I remember her as a beautiful, talented young lady. We have recently connected on Facebook, and if for that result alone, thumbs up for Facebook.

You look so much like your gorgeous Mom, and by reading posts from the both of you, I can tell you have her heart. I am honored to meet you.

These words will not lessen your pain or keep uncried tears from choking you, but they ring with truth.

My Mother spoke these words after my Dad passed. “How can the birds be singing; why is the sky still blue and why is the sun still shining? Don’t they know my world just crashed? But I know God never makes mistakes.”

GOD GAVE US MEMORIES SO WE COULD HAVE ROSES IN DECEMBER.

God bless you, sweet sister!

T-wow, I had absolutely no idea about your girlfriend, I am so beyond sorry. Time helps, but I know none of us ever truly feel healed, that constant looking over our shoulder waiting for something else terrible to happen, the seemingly endless sleepless nights…and thanks to technology the constant reminders (like you said, the mofos)…haha, I haven’t eaten a tub of butter, yet, but it’s very tempting. Thank you so much for the condolences and again, I’m so sorry for your loss as well.

Kathy-
I’m so so sorry for your loss, I hope what I said helped in some tiny little way..if nothing else, you know there are people that are in the same boat as you and can truly empathize.. I tried traveling, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to leave my sadness as I went on vacation, so you travel only when you feel like it’s the right time. I’m really starting to understand that guilt is such a real part of grief, and it really sucks because there is truly nothing any of us can do to make our loved ones stay. The holidays are tough for sure, but surrounding yourself with loved ones does help. Again, I am soo sorry for your loss, I hope the feelings and pain and loss lessen for you.

You completely reduced me to tears….I had no idea, and loss is something I have a really hard time coming with (as does everyone of course,)
I lost my girlfriend in 2008 (she left behind x2 sons)… Google Photos to this day still notifies me with “Remember this day in photos”. Asshole mother effer…

There’s not a day that goes by that I think eating a ‘tub of butter’ (so well said) is just the only friend of grief I can deal with.

My heart truly goes out to you and your family….always.

You’re an amazing soul. Thank you for sharing this…

Thank you so much – I lost my husband of 25 years just 4 months ago and somehow your words and thoughts are those I haven’t been able to convey to those people who think I should travel – I’m sure I will eventually – or be over the guilt and sadness. I’m so glad he isn’t in pain anymore but I feel guilty about that sometimes – like I didn’t do enough or wasn’t strong enough. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I haven’t had to go through the holidays yet – but I’m kind of dreading it.
