In Mourning *sigh*
19 wild land fire fighters died this weekend in Arizona. They were members of the Granite Mountain Hot Shot crew. The winds blew the fire back over them. I understand they had time to deploy their fire shelters. They died anyway

So bloody sad !
I wanted to send you an email, but it turned out I have lost your email address, don't know why.
And i never got around to sending an LJ message, as I have been dealing with the weather and storms. I was relieved to see a notice on my email that you had posted. It made me get off my backside and reply !
Even though these young people are not a part of your sons' teams, I knew it would be something that would hit you hard. It is such a terrible loss of so many brave young men.
I can't imagine how dreadfully hard it must be for their families. Every time they leave the house must be fearful. This must be unbearable.
I can't think how you deal. But I am grateful that there are families like you and yours and those of those young people, who go through such anguish to keep others safe.
As you are, of course, aware, I haven't been about a great deal, of late.
Sad but, with the "Brian and Randall" situation and the sad loss of friends who never really 'were', at all (even though I mess "them", the computer really did stop feeling like a safe place for my emotions to come out to play and this has been, in so many ways, a truly for shit year.
We lost mum a little while ago - and the time leading up to it was really hard, for a great number of reasons.
As you well know, for all that I am painfully verbose, most of the time and rarely shut up - When I am hurting, I generally back away from people and don't talk a lot at all. I'm odd that way :)
And I'm afraid I have been a lousy friend to everyone. I really can't be arsed, to be honest. It is hard, right now, for me to be there for anyone else, cos it has taken me all my energy to be there for me, so that I didn't worry the kids.
But, didn't mean to take over your post. (See, I still rabbit on, once I actually get going).
Hold tight to your brave boys and enjoy their love and tht of those great grandbabies you have !
It helps a hell of a lot, doesn't it !?
Sending you love and hugs and as much good energy as I have !
Nita.
