I'm meeting some new bloggers with many things to share that are truly "kind stories." <br /><br />Losing a parent is one our most difficult life passages. For a year after my dad died, I entered my family home fully expecting him to greet me in the kitchen with his smile and his apron and his spoon dripping with his amazing spaghetti gravy. He'll always be in my heart and my thoughts, so in that way he continues to be part of my life. Crying helps. Time does the major work. I really do understand how you feel and I send my warmest thoughts for you during this time.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5522295540436707456.post-82521118900396562792012-09-17T07:35:49.576-07:002012-09-17T07:35:49.576-07:00A Random Act of Kindness every day, take care Len,...A Random Act of Kindness every day, take care Len, thinking of you.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5522295540436707456.post-25792742331575928022012-09-16T13:35:27.825-07:002012-09-16T13:35:27.825-07:00Oh, Len, this is a beautiful post.

When my Mom passed away two years ago, a friend told me to allow myself to grieve, that it was okay to take time and work through things. It was the best advice, and really helped me. Perhaps it will help you too.<br /><br />Thanks for this timely reminder of the importance of kindness.
