Are you aware of THIS place? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambri...y_and_Memorial I wasn't until now. Thanks for that bit of information. You are welcome. Following all the trauma of organizing my son's funeral, we had a 'spare' day. My wife and I went to visit Cambridge for the very first time in our lives - and took a ride on an open-top tour bus. After reviewing the various universities, the bus left the city and eventually stopped outside the American Cemetery. We were invited to leave the bus and go and explore - but we simply could not, knowing so poignantly how much sadness the parents of those young men must have felt. I am really sorry to hear that. You and your wife have gone through the worst possible experience. I appreciate your understanding. Thank you, Peter. I am sorry also to be hearing about this David. I have no words and I certainly cannot put myself in your shoes. Even though Nick died way back in 1999, I still sometimes find it troubling to talk about it. The biggest problem was/is that there was absolutely no one to blame. I appreciate your 'hug', though, PAS. Thanks. :-) Last year our daughter contracted pneumonia, she was in a medically induced coma for almost three weeks. Originally her doctors were not optimistic. Fortunately she recovered. The side effects are expected to be around for about another six months. Her company was self insured and they couldn't have treated her better. At one point it was thought that she needed helicopter transport to Yale New Haven, at a cost of about $50,000, and they would have picked up the tab. Her CEO went to visit her in the rehab facility. The next day she was doing her rehab at home, with private therapists. It gets me upset to even think about that. Only another parent could understand the pain and anguish you have experienced, Peter. I most sincerely hope that your daughter makes a full and complete recovery. When next you see her, give her a hug from David here in Devon! :-) I don't have any idea about the odds of this happening, but my sister-in-law, my wife's sister, lost _her_ second son, Jack (17), in a car crash about three years after we lost Nick. You can no doubt imagine how we felt when attending the funeral of our nephew. The death of a young person, for any reason, is tragic. Indeed it is. My wife's cousin's wife, then 26 with a young baby had terminal cancer and wanted to make her funeral arrangements. The both asked me to go with her, as her couldn't. That was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. She made it almost a comedy. The funeral directer asked where the deceased was, she stated: "I am the deceased." Perhaps she, like me, believed that death is the beginning, not the end. Sadly, life is a dying business. It's just a matter of when. I often think about the message in this poem:- http://www.footprints-inthe-sand.com...=Poem/Poem.php -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footprints_(poem) For me photography is a release from harsh realities. I'm glad it helps you. When working on an image, the roof could fall in,and I wouldn't notice. when I am relaxed here's what comes out. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lr9nqqco7f45zbe/savanah_0160_1through%20Monet%27s%20Eyes.jpg?dl=0 And when concerned, i express it thusly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nt2c9t7h2k7qrni/fishy%20Dahlia.jpg?dl=0 -- PeterN |
