Anna - Oh Ashley. I am so, so incredibly crushed for you on this day...by the loss you're carrying now...and yet, what a beautiful spirit your father was! I can only wish that my own dad had been half the man yours appeared to be. I am happy that you were blessed with such love in your life, but so sad that you're in this struggle. So I hope you're able to give yourself some time to just...*be*...in this. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. And it takes a long time, so don't feel like you need to be "over this" at any point. Just sending you lots of light and love right now. Blessed birthday to you, talented beauty.04/28/2010 - 4:33 pm
