I understand the emotions. It happens to me because of my mother. Completely takes me off guard sometimes. But to have a life end so tragically must multiply it. I'm glad you can write about it.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255945126520264592.post-47603669941516453942009-03-19T11:29:00.000-04:002009-03-19T11:29:00.000-04:00This is a lovely tribute to Betsy.

I don't think the emotions ever go away, people learn to handle it, but it doesn't simply disappear. That might be a good thing, because it helps to remember. It's good to have the memories and to cherish them, even if it means to shed the tears. And the memory box ~ it's a beautiful thought.Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255945126520264592.post-11949907521627889562009-03-17T12:16:00.000-04:002009-03-17T12:16:00.000-04:00Oh wow.
