Truly Humbled …

Carly Icon

I came home tonight after burying my father, a man I loved with all my heart, who gave me everything he had and made me who I am, to find out that three women I CHOSE as family, have posted something that might as well have been written by me about my dad. This shows how well Julie, Janelle and Leslie know me, how well they read me, how they see what is in my heart. I couldn’t have gotten through this day without knowing I had their unqualified, undying, unique brand of support even long distance. I admit, I haven’t yet been able to bring myself to read all your comments. I’m raw and fragile and not sure I can take anymore crying or emotion. But I know to the depths of my soul how lucky I am not just to have my plotmonkey sisters, but the visitors to this blog, who have created not a community but a family of sorts. With everything in me, I thank you all. xo

Ericka Johnson I am so sorry for your loss and I lost my grandfather this year who I was very close with. I hope you can find the peace I have over time.

Martha Cheves Carly,
I understand your loss. I lost my Dad 4 1/2 years ago and I still miss him today but he isn't really gone. I look around and see him everywhere, especially in the mirror. As long as I'm here, he will be too.

Tricia Douglas Thinking of you and your family. Lost my mom in Feb. What I've learned is that our memories live on forever.
