My mother died in March; the world erupted in September. Nothing will ever be the same.

But I decided to take Kiki by phone call just before those horrible news. We were in the summer place and I called to my daughter, what I have done, but she said: Put TV on, NOW!
And nothing is same in people`s mind, that is true !
I felt compelled to post THE song today. We all remember 'when the world stopped turning'. I also remember the day my mom died~ I think that day the world shifted axis. It was a long while before I noticed that it had continued to spin.
The world definitely changed that day, and not for the better. But life goes on, and the sun is still shining. And there is still happiness and generosity and love and kindness in the world, and hopefully there's more good things in our lives than evil.
I think the first time I visited here you mentioned your Mother's death, you obviously miss her very much. Mine too died in September, 3 years ago, something that I never really talk about. It was all such a strange experience a group of adults, an odd dysfuncional family, trapped together in a house in the woods in Virginia for a fortnight just waiting for their Mother to die.(I don't mean that unkindly it's just that was the way it was). The only contact with the outside world , visits from the hospice nurses twice a day. At the end it was hard to feel sorrow for death was nothing short of a mercy. The loss wasn't so great for me either, she lived on the other side of the Atlantic and her absence is only occasionally felt, in fact I'm not entirely sure that there is an absence at all for I often feel as if she is closer than she was when she still lived. Someone once told me that our loved ones live on in our hearts and perhaps that is true.
Tut-Tut: My little Mum died a year and a half ago and never a day goes past without me thinking about and missing her dreadfully.
How is your friend? Every week I light a candle for her even though I don't know her name. I am going on holiday tomorrow for two weeks, to Turkey. Hope to do lots of sailing.
Greetings from Lahti. I have still doing my trip to home, but slowly :) Tomorrow I will be back in Joensuu. But how are you! Is everything well, I hope so.
Hello my friend, I hope that all is well with you and your family. Have you all recovered from your colds now? Hope everything is okay with you, I'm missing your posts.

The world is constantly changing as the earth circles the sun.
Some things hit us like a blow to the stomach, making us reel with the force of their impact on us.
Other things pass by unnoticed...
The falling of the last leaf from a wintry tree...
The final flutter of a butterfly's wings...
Change is continual and affects each and everyone of us to some degree or another
And we can never bathe in the same river twice

Nothing will ever be the same, but the world must always go on.
oh tut tut.

Be in touch when I get back.
Love Lorenzo. xx
Hope you are feeling better. I'm blessed to have both parents still living. It keeps my own death further out. I love having them here.
Yes, your world changed significantly in 2001.
Losing one's parent must feel like the earth slipping away from one's feet.
I am sorry, Tut-Tut. I miss my mother too, she died in September 1997.
Thanks for your visiting and nice comment on my blog!

I was in Paris when it happened and felt so alone. You are right-the world will never be the same again.
