Dear All,
It is hard to be in this situation once more. On the 10th of this month I my father's brother, Bassem, passed away from a heart attack at the age of 56. This felt like as if I lost my father again. My uncle was kind and tender and a gentleman in many ways. Words escape me in mourning. My grandmother of 86 is unhealthy to go through the death of another son. Her grief would break the hardest of hearts. I just needed to mention my sorrow and perhaps will do that in verse. Hugs Dani ·······  ·······Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Dearest Dani,
I'm so very very sorry about this heartbreaking & unexpected event. So young! I understand that your Uncle took care of you after your father passed away, is that right? I can't really find the proper words to express my sorrow. My heart goes out to you and your poor grandmother. I shall pray that you both find the strength to face this new loss, I know that you will with God's help. I understand about the loss of sons. I've lost two myself, and they were much younger. It's so hard to find explanations for these adversities. One has to have lots of faith that things are as they should be. That there are meanings that we don't comprehend now; they're beyond reason, in a celestial, spiritual sphere. My warmest hugs and good wishes, dearest Dani. Love, Syl*** ······· ·······Mis temas favoritos

Sylvia,
Thank you so much darling for the wishes and support and am so sorry that you have experienced this kind of loss. It's not easy to lose a son, and my grandmother is much better today. Life goes on and I guess this loss took me back to my own childhooe experience and I feel what my cousins are feeling now.. Love and HUgs dani ······· ·······Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Sincere condolences on your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. It is so very difficult to cope with the death of a child - whatever the age, my sympathies to your grandmother. May you find the inner strength given us by God to help you deal with this tragedy. Wally ······· ······· |

Dearest Dani
I am so sad to hear this news about your uncle, who I am sure played a big part in your life after your father's death. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. How sad that your grandmother has seent he death of two sons now. I'm sure this has brought up a lot of emotions about your own father's death. Just remember your MM family are here for you if you need a shoulder. My love & hugs Snow

Dani, I am saddened at the loss of your Uncle, I send you my prayers and my thoughts and heart is with you and your Grandmother. It is always hard to lose those that have been close to our hearts, it was almost ten years before I could express my grief in words on the loss of my mother and my father. Eventually time does as they say heal wounds, but as long as that person remains in your heart and memory they still live.
Take care Steve |
