May 17
My heart is so full of sadness today, it could BURST.
My father was killed today in a tragic accident.
I’m leaving on a flight back to Portland tonight with Ras.

I don’t know what we’re going to do without him…

Please accept my sincere condolences Lao-Ocean Girl. I’d not say I know what it feels like, but my mom recently passed away due to cancer, it has been hard but we managed. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry to learn the sad news about your father. My father died four years ago, followed 14 months later by my mother. I know from those experiences that your heart is heavy right now, and I also know that you and your family will embrace each other and stay strong for each other.
