No one can take a parent's place, but good friends do help fill in the gaps. It sounds like you have some great ones.<BR/><BR/>LauraLaura Thomas Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327445757419287609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16667446.post-50218147259426203792008-05-25T10:13:00.000-06:002008-05-25T10:13:00.000-06:00There is a huge shift for me with my dad dying eve...There is a huge shift for me with my dad dying even though my mom is still at the same house. My dad was the landscaping perfectionist. The visual surroundings are still him, but without him it is both comforting and mocking.<BR/><BR/>I accept your meme tag.

I felt abandoned somehow. The next big shift was his death.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the shift is a change in the connections we have that ground us and bind us to each other. Good friends around us help to ease the transition I think.<BR/><BR/>So, throwin a rope out to you from the wild west here.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.com
