My wonderful life is the product of the love and adoration I received from eight of God's most beautiful creations. Eight long runs of joy, but always ending with a sad, and soul draining sense of loss; an emotional emptiness that was the price I had to pay for the constant stream of joy and love those eight gave me. I was undeserving of that love, so I did whatever I could, to give back what I could. My final gift to each was the almost unbearable goodbye. It was all I could do for them on the last of thousands of joy filled days. I only pray that the emptiness I feel when they depart, is from the little piece of me that they take when they leave.
My deepest sympathies to you, Garry, and to Craig and all the others who know that emptiness.
