I am sorry for your loss.

Just last month, I lost my own mother, thanks to a brain hemmorhage due to the drug Cumodin that my mother was taking due to her hip surgery in May.

I miss her greatly, and being an only child with no family of my own, it has devastated me.

May God be with you.

And also with you. It was amazing when Dad died, and it was as if - to anyone you'd meet on the street - that he had never been. So important to you, yet so unknown generally.

So you want to be with people who knew your Mom, which is why friends and family congregate to share remembrance. But long after that, you still want to be with people who knew her.

Which is what makes the political speech of RP Reagan surprising, as it distanced him from exactly those most appreciative of RWR. More remarkable even than the case of the children of Paul Wellstone. They, at least, were associating themselves with the political predeliction of their father when they were disrespecting people who came to pay respects to their father for differing from them in political perspective.

When you think of it that way, it is nothing short of political extremism. Sponsored in both cases by the Party of Sweetness, Light, and Tolerance. <sarcasm>

And, May God bless you too. I have an only child and someday he will be in the same place you are today. I know the pain must be almost unbearable but hope that you will be able to find some peace and consolation.
