|
Subject: Mudcatter Fin From: Micca Date: 30 Apr 02 - 08:06 PM It is my sad duty to inform friends here on the Mudcat that My dear sister Fin, a sometimes poster to this forum (under that name), moved on from this incarnation at about 8 am Hawaiian time, in or near Pearl City Hawaii on 30 April 2002 after a considerably drawn out illness,. She is always in my heart, The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on and all your piety nor wit cant call it back to cancel half a line nor all your tears wash out a word of it Micca |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin From: CarolC Date: 30 Apr 02 - 08:09 PM Micca, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your sister. And to Morticia on the loss of her aunt. I enjoyed Fin's sometime presence here in the Mudcat, so I think I will miss her too. Carol |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin From: M.Ted Date: 05 May 07 - 03:46 PM The burden of age is that we carry the memories of so many who have passed on--I lost my brother this year, and sometimes, when I am drifting off to sleep at night, I hear his voice, talking the way we did when we were children, and the lights had been shut out. Time takes takes them all away, and leaves us with echoes and shadows. You have my greatest sympathy. |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin From: Jeri Date: 05 May 07 - 04:18 PM Past the initial shock, it doesn't much matter how much time passes, does it? Something happens and all of a sudden, you're reminded how much you'd like to share it with the one who isn't here any longer. Last night, I was going through a book in which my mom wrote her thoughts. I was reminded of her love and support and good common-sense advice, and I was also reminded that I'll never have anything exactly like that again. This August, it will be 15 years since she died - a lot more time than the 5 years since you lost your sister. It's love that makes it hurt so much and so long, and there's plenty of smiles and fond memories to go with the lonliness. Hugs, friend. |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Apr 08 - 05:47 PM Ya' know it just never does get much easier. No matter what the circumstance it is always tough at first but after awhile you almost get used to a gnawing kind of pain. Sadly, at least in my experience, it never leaves. No matter how many wonderful memories overflow my heart, that gnawing, slow, kind of pain is still there. I've come to think that perhaps it should be as it makes the memories even better. The other day I was talking to my "Second Mom".........Her name is Margaret. Her husband Joe and my Dad were best friends from earliest childhood and as it often happens, they married at about the same time after the war. Neither of the girls knew the other at the time but Marg and my Mom (Margie) became close friends and the couples spent many good times together. Their son Mark was born just a few months before me and we grew up together, best friends for many years too until we moved to Columbus. Even then the families stayed very close and spent much time together. Margie and Marg often wrote long letters back and forth ........small town America at its best. Margie died in '67 and my Dad in '73. Joe passed on in '87. Marg has had some health problems and just last week moved into a retirement community close to her daughter after 60 years in the same home. I called the other day just to wish her well in the new place and to let her know I'd be down soon to check it out. We laughed and talked for awhile and I knew it was so very hard for her to leave the house back home but it had just become too much. We talked of all the "stuff" that she had to get rid of as well as what she kept and what her girls (both great daughters) had taken. Towards the end of the hour long talk she dropped this bomb which she had never mentioned before: "Pat, I have all the letters Margie wrote to me." I was astonished and lump immediately came into my throat. You see, I have almost nothing of my parents or my childhood owing to a fire in a storage unit while I was in a job where I moved often back 25 years ago. Marg had shared some pictures and things with me but never before had she mentioned these letters. She continued: "I thought you might like to have them and I think Karen would really enjoy them and give her some insight into your Mom." Karen obviously never knew my Mom but Marg was nuts for her right away and I oft told Karen that knowing Marg is much like knowing Margie and if Marg liked her as she obviously did (and does), she'd have been a big hit with my Mom too. I was so pleased that Marg had kept these letters for so many years that I was almost without words to express my thanks. Then she said what made me think of this and why I bothered to post it today. "I like to take them out and read them sometimes when I get sad. They make me remember how much fun Margie was and all the good times we had together back then." It took a few minutes but I finally quit blubbering. I guess the pain is never completely gone for those we love but it gets better and can make the memories even finer. Micca........Terri.........Best to you both. Pat |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: Micca Date: 01 May 08 - 10:59 AM my Deep appreciation and thanks to you all who have posted, Sins, maybe at least part of why I am like I am is Because I had Fin as my sister!!! Funny I was very strongly reminded of Fin Yesterday on the bus,I heard a broad Belfast accent. Fin was an absolute unconcious "accent mimic" so if she spent an evening with her friend Jeanette she came home speaking as if she had lived "on the Falls or the Shankill" all her life!! and was always surprised if my mother asked her "how is Jeanette?" she would reply in amazement, "How do you know I saw Jeanette?" Its the memories.... |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: Peter T. Date: 01 May 08 - 11:09 AM It turns into a different kind of pain, it doesn't get better. It is like the difference between toothache and chronic pain. You can live with it, but it is there, and it has changed you. A friend who paints says that it is like a canvas -- the original is white, but the additional layers on top of it influence all the subsequent layers. These kinds of deaths are like that. Perhaps it is why Rembrandt's paintings are the epitome of human experience -- lots of layers of loss -- but the glow on the top is often even more powerful because of that. yours, Peter T. |

Buddy Tabor song Micca, m'dear, a big hug for you. It's never easy, as has been said before. Spaw, I love your story. When you read those lettes it's going to be a damp afternoon but I'll bet there will be a song in your heart. |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: VirginiaTam Date: 30 Apr 09 - 08:33 AM Hugs to you Micca I lost my 23 year old daughter Andie on the 28th of April 2005. This year's grief has been considerably eased by reading the good folk on Mudcat. |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: katlaughing Date: 30 Apr 09 - 11:47 AM Dear Micca, so much a part of my life these past years and beyond. Much love and hugs to you, darlin' and to Fin for being who she was to you, esp. VTam, I am grateful you have been sharing more with us about Andie and that it seems to be helping. You have lived through what every parent fears and your sorrow is great. May it hold true that sorrow shared is halved; joy shared doubled. From what you have said about her, I think Andie would like that you look for the joy and have found some on Mudcat. |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: Tinker Date: 30 Apr 09 - 12:45 PM Micca, you've brought Fin to life for me on several occasions, so that the memory of her here and now still brings not just a smile, but a bit of a "this could be trouble grin" Hugs and gentle thoughts... tink |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: Morticia Date: 30 Apr 09 - 01:36 PM She'd have bloody killed him for saying she was in her sixties though.........especially as she wasn't, she never did reach 60, her 60th birthday would have been 10 days after she died. My mother has always been convinced that she did that deliberately *G*. I miss her every single day, glad she was in my life every single day too. VT, huge hugs, I couldn't begin to think how to go on if I lost either of my kids. |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: VirginiaTam Date: 30 Apr 09 - 03:01 PM Thank you all. I still don't know how I do. I just do... go on. Does it get easier? I can't answer that yet. I feel less dysfunctional, more able to cope with memories and out of the blue reminders. But I don't know if it is easier. The title of this thread is Mudcatter Fin. Did Fin post here on Mudcat? Might be nice to have a link to her posts on this thread so people can get to know her? |

Subject: RE: OBIT: Mudcatter Fin - 30 April 2002 From: Micca Date: 30 Apr 10 - 07:47 AM The wheel has turned again and she is still missed, and ever in my thoughts, " where the mountains touch the sea thats where you'll find me Watching the moonlight the flickering starlight The golden sunset the morning sunrise In Lahaina luna" Micca |
