I've done these kind of projects before, and although I don't know her daughters well, I remember their mother well enough to pass along some pieces of her.<br /><br />It's a similar thing when one has a special needs child, Winnie, some people will edge away because they have no idea how to deal with it. I have my own weak areas, so I try to remember that. And you do find out who the gems are in your life, which is helpful.Persephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560178981320189795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-34183551014536196772012-07-20T14:11:36.061-07:002012-07-20T14:11:36.061-07:00I am sorry...That must have hurt. I have learned ...I am sorry...That must have hurt. I have learned over the years that friendships run deeper to some than others. I have some great long turn friends, but some of the other who I thought were really drifted away. I had a sick husband and at one point things got so rough for me..some held fast, others "couldn't deal" and that is ok. When I was then widowed, it made some of my friends "uncomfortable"...They were 40 like me and didn't want to be reminded about what could happen etc. I know celebrate the ones who stuck and try to be the same kind of friend. That is all I can do..Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-42978273183751714822012-07-20T08:04:19.547-07:002012-07-20T08:04:19.547-07:00Ouch - that's a potent story there; it highlig...Ouch - that's a potent story there; it highlights that perception is everything. We may perceive that we are close to someone but from their perspective we're just 'campus casual'. Similarly, if the awareness comes to light, how would someone feel to find out that someone they felt to be on the fringes of their world, saw them as central to their being. <br /><br />I'm reminded of a Wallander story - adapted for tv twice, with both Kenny B and the magnificent Krister Henriksson. If you know the narrative I mean, you'll know what I'm on about as Wallander realises how little he knew about his colleague.<br /><br />Three's nothing wrong with being the Storyteller though: unless you're Andrew from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.<br /><br />Best wishes with collating the book of memories.Lisa Rullsenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020425273742237299noreply@blogger.com
