There is a pattern with me that rears it's head, though thankfully less and less. A pattern of pain = escape. I can recall as early as primary school getting headaches as my out. It was my go to.

Dear loved one,
I send you this letter as a gesture of spirit, from one human being to another.
You want for nothing, for your life has meaning. Your presence in this world every day touches those around you, brightens their day and makes a difference, no matter how big or how small.
Do not regret any unfinished or undone business in your life. You live life according to your way and are an example to others for honoring this path.
Please excuse my absence.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I hope that you now have a bigger heart.
My absence from this blog is because my heart had a blow. Not one that is uncommon, yet one that is unfortunately a part of life, being human and growing up. I write this blog not to seek sympathy, but to be open, real and share a perspective that we all experience either directly or indirectly.
My mother passed away the end of June.
