I didn´t read it, so busy with the plague and other things.
Gabriel, beautiful musical name.

Oh... I'm sorry, I missed it.

Thank you for reposting, LRod. I wish I was there in person, I'd give you a hug ~ and we could sit and talk. But ... I'm not, so I'll you a cyber word HUG instead, and you two will have to hug other to make up for the lack that only words leave behind. Remember to hug each other as often as possible.

Doreen ... Yes, there is more to 'life' than death; then our passing. Life leaves our bodies, but WE don't leave life. It's just that our bodies are NOT ‘our life’ (surprise surprise!) nor, all of life, nor who we are, nor all of what we are. Still... knowing all this ~ while it can make it a easier; it doesn't stop our grieving nor our need to grieve.

So, LRod, Doreen ~ anytime you need more cyber word hugs, want to talk more about Gabriel. I'm glad you have this place... that is an ongoing bit of Gabriel's llegacy to all of us, even those of us who didn't meet him, until now.

Ps to Gabriel ....

Hi Gabriel! Nice to posthumously meet you ... Babette misses you. So do LRod and Doreen and others. LRod says you sing great. From what they’ve shared about you, and what I’ve seen so far, you sound like one hulluva a fun person. Some day I hope to meet you for myself ... in person. Till then … I want to tell you thank you for being their friend, for helping them set us their first website and such. For if not that then, and you then ... perhaps I would not be here now ~ saying what I'm saying to them, an you. I don't know about you, but I'd miss that.

Say hi to your name sake for me ~ and remember to have fun!

Pet Babette as often as you can... Oh, and remember to ruffle LRod's hair from time to time. ~grin~ It'll do him good.

Love & GodSpeed

you are a dear sweet lady, ms. deb....

i had only met gabriel right before we launched this site and he was an angel.... he hosted our site for a short time and helped us get started... and i loved him and i loved babette la dish.... it was all too quick

i've been crying and scrubbing floors and painting and scrubbing off paint from my fingernails

i don't understand death. i cannot understand it.

i'm trying....

your reply was one of the most beautiful things i have ever read .......

you are a lovely, most passionate and tender woman...

i know he heard your PS... i know it...

i don't know what anything is for at the moment... this man had such a gift of life... so much talent, so much energy, so much knowledge and kindness... it is after 3am here ... i am typing blind with fatigue.. i just saw your reply and had to tell you i did and to thank you for you....

i wish i had had the opportunity to have known him as long and as closely as Clay but I was honored to have known him for the eternal moments i did because i will carry them with me fondly until i see him again...

love

i don't understand death. i cannot understand it.

neither do i. what i know is just this; I know that physical death isn't the end of it all ... and that gives me comfort. but understanding death ~ naw ... i don't. learning to live with it ... and not wanting to face it myself, or any of my loved ones anytime soon, even with what i know... that's about it (for me).

i don't do goodbyes well

and tears heal ... in certain situations, they are only thing that will bring healing.

thank you for your kind words, Dor

... btw, you're floors are sparkling! (like your heart)
