My Grandmother died about 10 years back, and your message reminded me of her. My dad died in August, also - makes me understand your most recent pain. Mostly, your thoughts following Margaret's death brought to mind the reminders and connections I continued to see and feel and hear following my brother's death 2 1/2 year ago. Although he is gone, my relationship with him continues. http://www.kaitlinmurphy.org/blog/2011/08/27/Hail-Mary-Full-of-Grace-For-Margaret-II.aspx Don 9/26/2011 5:32:00 AM I'm glad this made you think of her! I'd also love to hear sometime about the connections you continue to see and feel from your brother. http://www.kaitlinmurphy.org/blog/2011/08/27/Hail-Mary-Full-of-Grace-For-Margaret-II.aspx Kaitlin 10/2/2011 2:34:00 PM Four months after his death, we returned to spread some of his ashes. As I entered a Walgreens nearby that I had frequented whenever in town to visit, the music playing overhead was one of only three songs played at his funeral celebration. His wife recently asked me if I wanted some of his personal books. I read the list - most I already had or would have bought for myself. http://www.kaitlinmurphy.org/blog/2011/08/27/Hail-Mary-Full-of-Grace-For-Margaret-II.aspx Don 10/17/2011 5:24:00 AM :) I love the small things like this that suddenly don't feel so small... a connection where you just know it to be true because you can feel the person you love on the other end of it. http://www.kaitlinmurphy.org/blog/2011/08/27/Hail-Mary-Full-of-Grace-For-Margaret-II.aspx Kaitlin 12/27/2011 8:38:00 PM
