No forgiveness required. I feel bad too. I feel bad for Eliot Gould too. My brother died of AIDS, I miss him every day, it is no joke. He was under 40 when he died. He has missed so much. My sister-in-law committed suicide, she too has missed out on so much. These people were my daughter's godparents, we chose poorly, no? But Adam and Eileen were our fave sibs. I still don't understand why we had to lose them.

Sorry, sentimental moment on a rainy memorial day.

So sorry to hear about your brother. My sister-in-law lost her brother to AIDS...and I've lost at least four friends to AIDS.
Though I don't agree with Barbra Striesand's politics, I feel very bad that she and her family have to go through this. We can only pray that there will be a cure someday.

I lost one of my brothers to AIDS four years ago. I wouldn't wish that on anyone regardless of thier politics or personality.

"Sorry, sentimental moment on a rainy memorial day."

You're entitled to it. My sympathies to you and your family. The pain never goes away but it does recede.

Chin up...I wish you all well.

Condolences to you. Yeah, Memorial Day can do that to you.

Some things are beyond politics.

Please accept my sympathy for your losses. No one understands the pain of loss until they experience it. Time doesn't really help as they say it does, you just learn to deal with it.
