Something New

In my "Nothing New" blog, I mentioned the AtomicTumour blog I accidentally discovered. In it, a young man was baring his soul after his wife had been admitted to the hospital for something that looked like a bad case of flu. She passed away yesterday (we still don't know what attached her). I am grieving as though I lost a friend (though we only met through her husband's posts). Hundreds of people - strangers like me - have been touched by this blog and condolences are pouring in.

Thanks to that post, I also discovered you can light virtual candles on the Net. This is where I went (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/enter.cfm?l=eng) but other addresses are also listed.

Frika passed away 2 months ago today - I think I will go light a candle now.

I'd been following Atomic Tumor's saga too. An unbelievable heartbreak. It made me want to go home immediately and curl up with my loved ones.

Instead I went and lit a candle too, for those who are alive and with me, who help me to be alive. Thanks for the link. :-)
