BK: re: Pillar. I spent all last week watching my grandmother (who is my fairy godmother in her own right and one of my favorite people). She's very sick. I didn't cry because I'm the strong one - and i was the one who hugged everyone else as they cried. but i got home, and mark (his name is mark) and i went out - and by the end of the night i couldn't not cry anymore. he followed me to my room (after i'd sent him home) and held me until i stopped shaking and bawling like a baby - and then he made me laugh. i can see your interpretation - but that's what i was writing. combined mourning for the impending loss, and gratefulness for the support he soundlessly gives me.<BR>
(and for the record - i wasn't crying last night, but he spent hours making me laugh anyway - just because. i feel very lucky. i think we're all very lucky.)

Slug & Gup: This time of year is always the worst possible time for anything to happen to you or someone that you love. I have been there too, so my heart goes out to you both. I have always been lucky enough to have a guardian angel of one kind or another in times of need. Hope you both have someone to watch over you too.<BR>

TJHolland, I'd have done this in email but didn't see one for you.  Your poem about your son is touching, and it so much reminds me of my own (his initials are also TJ & I'm watching over his 102 fever tonight) and a poem I'd been hesitant to send to the Blender.  In my mind, it's related to romantic poetry, in that the end of romantic love for a child's parents creates so much more fallout than just those two broken hearts at the helm.  Anyway, I don't always write verbatim from my private life, but this one is right there, and I'm thinking the one you sent in was, too.  I hear you.  -   Madi<BR>

How strange that there are those parallels between my poem and you/your son. Fantastic almost (in the dictonary sense of the word). I am sorry that your son has to go through these things too. "The sins of the father are visited upon the children." (in all fairness to men, of course mother has so much attached to it too)<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with me. And I did read the poem you spoke of. It's so sad and lonely...like the children are.<BR>
<BR>
I hope the fever breaks. <BR>
