He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bereft
Mom called last night. She's decided to sell the lake property, all of it. It's almost like losing my Dad all over again. I knew it was coming, and is the right thing for Mom to do for herself, but still another hard blow. I tried to speak only encouraging words to her, she's excited about having a new condo, one that she has choices for designing. Inside I was just screaming, "Noooooooo!" My opinion doesn't matter, and what really hurts is that the only person who would understand my feelings about this doesn't care enough to even be in my life anymore. I am truly on my own and I don't know what to do with all the pain.

There's nothing I can do or say but I can send you a huge squeeze hug. I do understand the part of NOOOOOOO and when it feels like everything is out of control.
Thanks Elana,
Things will be better once it finally gets warm, which at the rate we're going will be sometime in June. I just measured the drifts in front of my garage a couple days ago and the snow is still over my knees. The St. Marys River (a half block away) is already at flood stage, if all the snow melts at one time we're going to have major flooding. Wish I already had my kayak home, I may need it over the next month or so.
