A brief note

Mia bambina and I are home. It has been a hard week for her. We flew to Florida to attend the funeral of an old and great friend of Sar's. Between crossing the continent and back again and the emotions of the final good byes, Sar is exhausted and when she is tired she fails to eat much. In just a matter of days her weight has dropped about 6 pounds - pounds she cannot afford to lose.

She finally fell asleep last night - sleeping about 14 hours straight. Her appetite is still poor but I will spoil her with her favorite comfort foods and if that does not work I will threaten to warm her butt. Just saying that generally gives her some energy to burn.

I expect she will feel more like herself in a few days and back online filling you in on my *caveman* ways. When I complete my journal for this week I may post excerpts from our trip to Florida in the form of "frammenti" on Sar's website. I will also ask her to write. The words she chooses to express her inner feelings surpass my simple observations and I think she will achieve greater peace about the circumstances once her crafted words have been posted.

I'm so sorry Sar, no one has so many friends that they can afford to lose one.
Be assured that your friend lives on in your heart.
Do look after yourself dear Sar, you have many friends out here.
I think that I can speak for them when I say that we send you comforting thoughts and lots of hugs and love.
Be well dear girl.
Warm hugs.

I am so sorry for your loss, Sar! Losing friends is so hard. Please take care of yourself and get back to your feisty self soon.
Admiral Cowboy, thank you for updating us and taking care of Sar. She is fortunate to have such a Neanderthal as yourself!

Oh Sar, I am saddened by your loss, another flame extinguished before we are ready to face the darkness. I hope you take comfort in the piece of this person left in your care, that is the memories that will become all the sweeter as time passes, the part imprinted on your heart and soul. Allow yourself time then celebrate the life you knew, for the rest of your life.

Walk in Peace,

Cowboy,

Thanks for the update. Writing about feelings validates them. I am sure when Sar is up to writing, she will have some insights to share. In life, pain is inevitable. I am so sorry to hear about this difficulty.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish I had words of wisdom that could make it easier but I think it just takes time.

Hugs and feel better...
