My sympathies, especially given the circumstances.

No matter how "well adjusted" (sorry if that description doesn't quite fit) we think of ourselves, there will always be those times when we search for parental comfort and guidance. In time that can only be from within. Every time I hear 1 Corinthians 13, like yesterday, I am reminded of those feelings of loss experienced each of the several times I've read it at family funerals.

Still waiting for the hurt to pass.

Peace, Mooh.
