I was away Friday as the person and family TOA is referring to is my mother and, well, me (and others) and I was with her in hospital yesterday. The good news is, she looks like she is going to be fine. I saw her again today and she was 200% better. I got a little teary reading this post and, I don't know why I'm sending this post, but I'm going to go with it. If anyone who reads this blog regularly (or even irregularly) ever needs someone who will accept them for who they are, be supportive but not stifling, be fun when required (and even when not) and be both compassionate and wise, then you could do a lot worse than our own TOA. In fact, I doubt you could do better.Mikey (TLE)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15779048657197728158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035053.post-1140829934023398802006-02-25T12:12:00.000+11:002006-02-25T12:12:00.000+11:00A thousand arms certainly ups the finger-fucking a...A thousand arms certainly ups the finger-fucking ante doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>Just 'be.' I find myself stumbling over my awkward emotions when facing friends who bare their hearts; I think it's wise to just be there. In the 'now'--with them. The physical presence means so very much. It's enough sometimes to just sit and hear the silence between true friends.Michael Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939701498074991413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035053.post-1140809028498112042006-02-25T06:23:00.000+11:002006-02-25T06:23:00.000+11:00I can't even imagine something with 1000 arms.

I've never seen you but I feel you. You leak compassion and the fact that you're thinking before acting seems kinda wise. You've already helped and you'll help some more.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974435902564570126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035053.post-1140788335729912272006-02-25T00:38:00.000+11:002006-02-25T00:38:00.000+11:00Do as you are doing, be there for them.
