Most people seem to be hesitant to comment on here, not sure why.<BR/><BR/>The purpose of this blog is to let some of the poison out of my system. Sometimes, when I look back on what I wrote, it no longer seems to be that urgent, or that serious. It does help to give me perspective.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for reading.<BR/><BR/>CiaoJeffreyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498515218291915271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807851735369175846.post-45781840375563212442008-07-10T15:37:00.000-07:002008-07-10T15:37:00.000-07:00I too came over from Pharyngula and agree with Bil...I too came over from Pharyngula and agree with Bill-that controversy is irrelevant when compared with this. That someone would be so horrible and make that comment to you is just unthinkable.<BR/>Can I make one comment though? I have never had a loved one commit suicide so I don't know what that's like but I did lose a grandmother to murder by a family member. That happened almost forty years ago and no one talks about it still. I was little when it happened and remember them telling me that "she fell and hit her head" instead of telling me the truth. I didn't know what really happened until I was in my twenties. My point is, sorry about the long narrative, that it's good that you can blog about it and that your kids and grandkids can see what you write and even express their own thoughts in this or their own forums. Senseless tragedies can cause a lot of strain on families and I really do think that opening yourself up to the world, and perhaps your family members, will be a big help, even if so called christians come over here to spread their hate.Mena Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202256537753935071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807851735369175846.post-52228587388334297062008-07-10T13:07:00.000-07:002008-07-10T13:07:00.000-07:00I read your comment over at PZ Myers and clicked t...I read your comment over at PZ Myers and clicked through to your blog. I was surprised at the subject matter. Never mind about that controversy over there. <BR/><BR/>You're right -- I don't know how you feel. I wish there was something I could say to make it better. Endurance is a kind of courage; and I hope you find something or someone to comfort you, or at least, endure with you until joy, fitfully, returns to your life.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875764399438901154noreply@blogger.com
