My Lord, I'm going to have to invest in some Kleenex instead of ripping off a hunk of toilet paper when I'm all snuffly from crying. <br /><br />I'd say you did a beautiful job eulogizing Pam. I love hearing the stories of people. It's sad that there are far too many of the elderly with no one who cares about their stories. <br /><br />Hug it out, again, even if you're not a hugger.Joann Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163491824085428085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787631511810219240.post-58520587730713477702011-01-26T21:18:03.377-05:002011-01-26T21:18:03.377-05:00RIP, Pam.

What a wonderful story to share. <br /><br />I often wonder why we don't hear more of these kinds of stories, and less about the burden of elderly folk. These stories are GEMS. I don't think they are all that rare. I just don't think that many folks have the patience to listen. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing Tulpen.Chris P-Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076184754958801358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787631511810219240.post-71551262977217383652011-01-19T10:46:53.325-05:002011-01-19T10:46:53.325-05:00A loving tribute.A loving tribute.KLZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148991868974040605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787631511810219240.post-166878070401635692011-01-19T10:13:15.558-05:002011-01-19T10:13:15.558-05:00Ah, man!

I had another student write about his father's death, a student who isn't very open about his feelings, so it just slayed me.
