Dear, Shaw,

I am so sorry your most important relationship has come to such a sad, untimely end. I hope these words by our special friend Emily Dickinson may help you as you struggle to gain a better sense of perspective on life that must seem senseless and unrewarding at times like this.

While I was fearing it, it came —
But came with less of fear
Because that fearing it so long
Had almost made it fair —

There is a Fitting — a Dismay —
A Fitting — a Despair
’Tis harder knowing it is Due
Than knowing it is Here.

The Trying on the Utmost
The Morning it is new
Is Terribler than wearing it
A whole existence through.


~ Emiy Dickinson (1830-1886)

I offer too these words from Carousel by Oscar Hammerstein II. whom I have come to regard as one of our finest lyric poets, despite his enormous popularity. He understood the human heart very well, and expressed his wisdom gently, kindly, with good humor and great empathy for the human condition in words most could easily understand, bless him.

What's the use of wonderin'
If he's good or if he's bad,
Or if you like the way he wears his hat?
Oh what's the use of winderin'
If he's good or if he's bad
He's your feller, and you love him
That's all there is to that.

Common sense may tell you
That the endin' will be sad,
And now's the time to break
And run run away

Though common sense may tell you
That the endin'will be sad
Your his gal and he's your feller
There's nothin' more to say.

Somethin' made him the way that he is
Whether he's false or true
And Someone gave him the things that are his
One of these things is you

So, when he wants your kisses
You must give them to the lad,
And anywhere he leads you, you will walk
And anytime he needs you
You'll go runnin' there like mad
You're his gal and he's your feller,
And all the rest is talk.


I wish I could offer more. I believe you still have my phone number. If ever you feel a need to talk, –– even in the middle of the night –– I'd be glad to listen.

You were a beauitful couple when you married. I know you produced beautiful children. I hope those good memories will help sustain you as work through this period of grief.

Love,

FreeThinke

Sorry for your loss

Shaw Kenawe,

May you find peace.

When the time is right for you.

The winding road of grief differs for each of us, the bereaved.

Dave Miller said...

Anon... you are a classic example of what's wrong with America. You seem unable to express any empathy for others or even a little compassion.

Why not crawl back under your GOP rock and leave civilization to real people, unafraid to put a name with their comments...

Anonymous said...


Now Dave, why would you assume that guy is a Republican? He could very well be a leftwinger Antifa member.

Les Carpenter said...

You do enjoy playing the infantile Anonymous. Fact is now is not the time or the place to engage in such childish behaviour. Show some respect.

Wittle "anonymous" feewings are hurt 😭 so it lashes out. I hope this gives Ms. Shaw a well needed chuckle. Poor, poor wittle anonymous living in someone's basement...LOL!!!!!

Les Carpenter said...

It very likely is TOM from the blog Stay Awhile. He was, and probably still is, one very sick person.

Les Carpenter said...

Sure are many rightwing sockpuppets frantically flying around today having their fun.

Pathetic indeed.

Pitifully ignorant and FUNNY along with pathetic is what they are...
