If you decide to take the perilous journey of discovering the identity of your birth parents, you will probably discover the same thing.Persephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560178981320189795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-38938599114987852842009-06-27T07:32:55.431-07:002009-06-27T07:32:55.431-07:00dear, Persephone,

The underworld is a perfect place to live. And plus I am adopted so I have many reasons to think as though my father or mother was a god or goddess how do i know if this is true please help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11245544396669269833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-76429193181981580002009-05-13T16:23:00.000-07:002009-05-13T16:23:00.000-07:00Thank you for sharing your story so eloquently.

I thought you might like James Fenton's 'For Andrew Wood'<br /><br />What would the dead want from us<br />Watching from their cave?<br />Would they have us forever howling?<br />Would they have us rave<br />Or disfigure ourselves, or be strangled<br />Like some ancient emperor’s slave?<br /><br />None of my dead friends were emperors<br />With such exorbitant tastes<br />And none of them were so vengeful<br />As to have all their friends waste<br />Waste quiet away in sorrow<br />Disfigured and defaced.<br /><br />I think the dead would want us<br />To weep for what they have lost.<br />I think that our luck in continuing<br />Is what would affect them most.<br />But time would find them generous<br />And less self-engrossed.<br /><br />And time would find them generous<br />As they used to be<br />And what else would they want from us<br />But and honoured place in our memory,<br />A favourite room, a hallowed chair,<br />Privilege and celebrity?<br />And so the dead might cease to grieve<br />And we might make amends<br />And there might be a pact between<br />Dead friends and living friends.<br />What our dead friends would want from us<br />Would be such living friends.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424255501076969843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-34662476242546456292009-01-27T08:34:00.000-08:002009-01-27T08:34:00.000-08:00Thanks for all the comments, guys.

When my father died I felt utterly bereft, but was comforted that we'd had a good relationship. I can only imagine how conflicted you must feel right now, and I'm sorry that you have to go through such a tough way of grieving.
