Questa è Enida

Dear Linda,
With heavy heart I read your email to Yahoo Group. With heavier heart I have been reading our friends’ notes to you. My inner voice yearns to reach out to you and say something wise to soothe you or to make your grieving for your father’s passing halfway easier. The thing is, I don’t know what to say. I wish I could go on and on saying something by not saying it. I don’t think I have to tell you to be strong either. You already are.

.

And the truth is, my sister and I are now preparing ourselves to face a similar loss to what you just experienced. Our mother is slipping away, atrociously consumed by cancer of the blood. All I can tell myself is that…when the time comes, I hope I can be brave enough to say, “I am happy for Mom, for she has gone to a better place. “

.

By the looks of it, you have been very brave.

.

Heaved,
Enida
