Grief gives you a choice: you can live, die or wither away like this tree

Sounds like you made your choice - happily I note it's with wisdom you chose life, after Nicole. I always loved that name, wanted to be called "Nikki" when young, but no way said mom to her stubborn 7-yr old. I'm one of 8 and about to lose 2 brothers, probably next year - to MS and cancer. Whether a child or sibling, love is love, and the loss of the sight of that person is a crashing trauma (lost both parents to cancer). I don't know how I found your blog, since I've neglected mine for so long until the other day. Facebook gets my business now. Still I'm glad I came back to discover some new faces and stories. Yours is very touching but written with a dry wit and very clear sense of the absurd - I like that. Namaste.

P.S. Not sure why my pic isn't coming out, but who can understand blogspot. I'm one of the old hold-overs from AOL Journals and we never got used to this blogspot business, so many things going wrong. I see they still do!
