back home

Good morning Dave.

Glad you are home safely.

That is a wonderful and moving post...Thank you for sharing your tribute, and also for laying down that challenge you suggest we each find time to fulfil with 'our' own special people...family ,friends,'voicing' our love, valuing and or appreciation of them....

Fascinated to hear you left your voices behind you on your vacation...no doubt they weren't invited!! The 'scientist' in me is pondering hard over this mystery, which I think you said happened previously on your travels?! If only we could understand more of the complexities of the brain at work.....

Now if only you could suggest 'they' take a break while you stay at home, I am sure you'd offer to buy the tickets!  One way :) of course!

Best wishes Chris, UK

Welcome back Dave, happy to hear that you were able to spend time with your folks and tell them how you felt. I hope that you see them again.

I have a hard time telling my mom and dad that I love them.  I mean, I tell them when they tell me first but I never initiate.  I'm just fortunate that they provide me with a roof over my head, support and some outstanding meals.  They too are getting up there but my dad and mom are really strong. 

I'm happy to hear that you didn't have to fight off voices.  Anytime I hear progress, it gives me hope.

Have a great day!

Hi Dave,

Sorry I've been exhausted all weekend and am now getting back to responding.  I have quit my talk therapy because I felt we covered no new ground and I had gotten from it all I needed to get.  So I will have another night free to attend to the Connection work.

I am so glad you told your father "I love you" and that he also said that.  My mother, who did the right thing when she needed to [drove me to the hospital], is not in the best of health either and I won't go into it.  So I understand that "these are the years" to devote to family.  My father turns 75 in November and Mom turns 72 in April.  They look younger than they are.

So I know how you feel about having this time with family.  You are a devoted husband, father and grandpa so be proud of that and be proud of your family.  You never know, the others in your family could secretly look up to you and won't tell you they do, however it could be true. 

Regards,

Christina

Welcome back Dave.

I was touched by your entry especially because I come from a different country and our culture is very conservative so we almost never say "I love you."

I miss my family everyday and they mean so much to me.

Anyway, welcome back and have a good rest of the week!
