Kit......

OMG.

These are the stories that I tell you -- make me sit in silence and wonder, "how did you do what you just did?"

I was with you -- those perfect childhood days of not-a-worry in the world, the days that seemed endless; we had so many of those made-at-home swings in a tree...

Then the fear of being up high -- I was one of those so frightened to go higher and higher in a tree (oh we climbed so many with my sister who was a monkey) -- and coming back down would freak me out!

And then the exhilaration of the swing -- I felt so much happiness.

--then it came to a crashing halt. I couldn't believe it. Oh I am so so sorry -- that made my heart ache and I barely know you - and much less your absolutely special dad. It actually made me cry.

My deepest condolences----this was so sad to read.
