You're welcome... these are always very complicated times... I (Patrícia) lost my godfather a couple of years ago, and it was one of the saddest days of my life... I feel so much emptiness since that day... but I always think of a word we have saudade which means to miss someone, and I try to hold on to all the special moments we had to make me smile again. Like you say in your LJ... "One Life... Live it!"

It's good to see you here again, it's a pity though that it's with a sad post :'( though we live just across the ocean, if you need anything, or want to talk to anyone, just say, OK?

Once again I thank you for your empathic words, and for the gift you give me of "saudade" . . . I had lots of that with Mike!

I will post when there is time . . show pictures of my time in the Pacific NW, and tell my news . . when I have a BIT more time!

More to come!

sad times, good memories.
may the memories live on.

[ksp24]

Thank you so much!

You are so kind--and now I have "saudade" . . . to miss someone, and to hold on to all the special moments shared to smile again . . . so glad to learn that Portuguese word from riah1977 and those memories!

xx to you!

I'm going to add that image to all the Ford images already stored in my head. Thank you. (Images from his work, and what others have said about him--I never met him, alas. Have just loved his writing for years and years.)

[ksp24]

Thank you for the compliment you pay me!

I'm lucky I had so many wonderful times with Mike.

xx to you

Damn it. DAMN it.

I saw the news earlier. There are days when the cosmic balance seems completely out of whack, and we're losing the good ones while the wrong ones get to hang out and hang on.

No words, just comfort, if there is any.

Damn it.

[ksp24]

Thanks so much for your words! It's all over LJ at this point . . . with more to come I am sure.

I so agree with you!
