Ray,

I am sorry to hear about your loss(es). 

My favorite movie is Fight Club! I remember the first time I watched it after my mother died and that exact line brought me to tears. Sometimes in the midst of our grief we just need someone to be present. Someone to sit and quietly grieve beside us. I am reminded to do this myself when those around me experience loss. 

I have gained a lot of encouragement from reading your blog in the past and look forward to seeing more of your writing in the future!
