Warning. Serious post. Cool

I'm not sure why i do this, i hope you don't mind. Smile

Got an album from my aunt today, pictures of lilia that i'd never seen before, and little tributes to her from hundreds of people. These are just a few and i felt the need, as i have done several times over the past 26 days (is that it?) to share them with you.

Oh, and i wanted the thank those of you who have been invaluable since i first posted here. Really don't see how i could have made these past few weeks without knowing i could come here and rant if need be. Laughing

@ossobuco,
Yep, my reaction too. I sorta sat there with my mouth open for about ten minutes, i damn sure hope Lilia wasn't watching me then, i must have looked ridiculous.

They are all wonderful tributes, Abbie, but I wonder if this one might have something to do with the reason you haven't cried. It doesn't matter if it does or doesn't, but it kind of jumped out at me when I read it.

Hugs to you, if you like hugs.

@JPB,
I was wondering about that earlier actually.
Although, i did end up shedding a tear earlier when i was looking through the album.
No. I lied.
I nearly flooded Europe.
Thought i'd never stop.

@AbbieMcKenley,
Well, ok then. I'm glad for you that you let yourself cry when the moment came. It can be exhausting and cleansing all at the same time.

@JPB,
Yep.
My brother came over too me and put his arm around me and said "Are you crying because of Lilia, or because you don't like the book because i told aunty Hannah you dont like purple books very much."

Laughing aha.

Hi Abbie.

Don't know if you still check in here once in awhile. If you do, I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and your family today. I hope you are finding ways to celebrate the holidays together and with the memory of that wonderful sister of yours.
