I just read your comments...BalerLibrary2 and Edie:<br /><br />I just read your comments. Thanks!<br /><br />I really appreciate your comment about how "great humor is tinged with a deep sadness." How true. Especialy now, that I have gotten my written heart test results back, which were good, I start thinking about David, with the "what ifs": What if David had found out earlier about the enlarged aorta? What if they had operated earlier? What if he had seen his physicians more frequently...? But, of course, the what ifs just hang there, and we are left with the reality, of David being gone.<br /><br />Also, I think we now have a new way of expressing humor: just say that it's "bagel-spitting hilarious!" <br /><br />With David's passing, we have three new bloggers in our family: mine, Adam's, which is sports-oriented, and Josh's, which is political. Blogging is an incredible amount of fun!<br /><br />PhilPaw Printshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854178555591732422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847480013065523859.post-37956322159423600312009-04-16T08:55:00.000-07:002009-04-16T08:55:00.000-07:00Phil,

I am so grateful that my brothers, my nephews, and my husband are documenting all of it, with such humor, pathos and poignancy. Doug read your posting out loud to me as soon as I got up this morning, and I, too, was laughing so hard... Dad posed the same question about what would it take for me to think in algebraic terms, only I must not have come up with a satisfactory answer as the next thing I remember is the algebra book flying across the living room. Oh well. Thanks for the memory!<br />And I, too, thank my heart and my countless blessings.<br />EdieEdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05526140012198925806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847480013065523859.post-23836998732764464962009-04-16T08:19:00.000-07:002009-04-16T08:19:00.000-07:00Phil,

Like all great humor, this piece is tinged with a deep sadness. We, too, are grieving, and I wonder this: how is it that one loss conjures up all our other losses? I am taken instantly to that place in my heart which rattles and shakes all other thoughts and feelings away until only grief remains...And like you, I am grateful and refocused on my blessings...Thank you...BalerLibrary2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12139256171997612969noreply@blogger.com
