I was at my laptop the next day finishing up the month end close as I knew the office needed me although they were so nice as to not expect me to work after such a catastrophe. <br />Yes-Writing is therapeutic, puts things in perspective and I love the way you are able to internalize and share with people close to you. This is a big service. Keep it up and I am ever proud of the good human being you have turned out to be.

So, don't worry :)<br /><br />Ravishanker - I laughed out loud at your "REFLECT" comment - I could see my father and I having that kind of a conversation, except that I would be the one thundering that way!Ram Muralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932557588480669430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332491328939495514.post-28833813858146319492017-04-23T07:50:40.860-07:002017-04-23T07:50:40.860-07:00Read it again just now.

She did it right through happy times and sad times and it pulled her through.<br /><br />There are other memories but they are too numerous.<br /><br />I loved the mention of writing being both a lock and a key.....a key to new friendships and the entire article (but I should read it again)<br /><br />Hey Ram !
