Posted: 9/27/04 at 3:51pmKMF so sad. The worst thing for a parent to face is the death of a child. We always hope we go before our children. This is my worst nightmare and I need to go now. Talk to you all later.

I was so struck by what Mayor Bloomberg said at the service on 9/11 this year:
That when a child loses a parent he is called an orphan.
When a wife/husband loses a spouse she/he is called a widow(er).
But, there are no words to describe the loss of a child. It is an unbearable pain.

it's a test of faith...I am not sure sure I would pass, but I have to believe there is some reason....it helps you get through the day!
I have been designated their official family hugger, so if that's something I can do to help them, it's not a bad job!

It's not a bad job at all.
K, it's amazing what we can survive... As long as we have people we can turn to. I've found strength in the face of tragedies I never expeced to know, let alone get through. Hugs do a great deal to help.

KMF, that's so tragic. I'm so sorry that you have to face that. Funerals are bad enough but, a child that young is just too much to take. All I can say is try to deal with it as best you can and take some comfort in the fact that you can give some comfort to that poor family.

Posted: 9/27/04 at 4:07pmRight on, Nina. Those "time" rules are ridiculous anyway.

Posted: 9/27/04 at 4:16pmA really strong strawberry margarita would be pink, no?

Well Zola, I've never been one to follow rules.
I'll have a dirty martini or maybe that little drink I thr=ew together on friday when we were hanging out here. I don't know if it has a name or if it's something I invented but, I'll call it a Red Chita since it matches the dress.

Rodney - the restaurant across the street from where I live makes delicious pomegranate margaritas. They're kind of pink.
Nina - I remember thinking the concoction you came up with on Friday sounded delicious - I love the name: Red Chita!!
Cheers, everyone!
