Click here"Merry Christmas baby," he said to the woman in the portrait. "I'll always love you."
Then he carried the painting down to the basement and covered it with a sheet.
the emotions are raw and real, and this was well worth reading. You are extremely talented!
this is why you should NOT believe in religions.
people get out from a collpased building and they utter "God did it! Thank the Lord!"
yet when something like this happens, you never hear them say, "God did it!" Or, even, "God let Satan did it. I hate you, God, for letting Satan take my loved ones like that."
fact is, EVERY THING --- every motion and process --- in the known universe is GOVERNED by probabilistic laws, which in turn are probabilistic.
religious superstitions are invented to soften our hearts, to give us fantasies about destinies and probabilistic laws, and other finalities. in reality, we have NO grasp of any such things and are AS FRAGIL as butterflies, in both clear days (proned to be picked off by birds) rainy days (to be weighed down, smashed against objects by winds, and washed away by water),,,

Three years and three weeks ago I lost my wife/friend of almost 56 years. I still have the glow of her love and fristy behavior, in and out of bed, and I feel the void while the positive feeling of all our experiences. Forunately I have our son, granddaughters and great-grandchildren, but I miss her. You caputured much of the feelings. Happy holidays.
Sweet:
There's nothing I can write that hasn't already been eloquently expressed by so many before me. You gave me just enough information. No more or less was needed. I'd advise against a sequel. It would only dilute the impact your magnificent story has had on so many readers. This story should stand alone.
My best,
Philip
But sad. There is no way I could tell a man how to get past the loss of his family. I do believe he had a realistic dream but it was enough to satisfy him!
A great read.
