Linda; you don’t need to post this but I immediately understood your mention of your new ‘mission’ for 2009. And it brought to mind what I did in a similar ‘passing’ of my cousin. The Yahoo police force in the tiny town near here in Texas where ‘it’ occurred; refused to give out any details to anyone for several weeks. It was tearing up the family – so I took it upon myself to convince them to produce an official sealed report and I would come pay for the report & its overnight express shipment to the victim’s older brother in California; then the borhter could choose what details to tell (and what to leave out) for the elderly Mother and Father. That must have sounded reasonable enough to the seargent – because they agreed to did it immediately the next day. I think they were relieved to have a way out of the mess they had created for themselves and they knew it would eventually be a matter of public record anyway. Perhaps if you had someone who could act as a liason (especially if they have an official looking title)– you just might have a chance to get an accurate (if not final) report. Just make sure it is someone who will actually show you the information; and not withold it – thinking they want to shield you. I agree with you that it is necessary to know ‘ALL’ in order to process the loss. Love and Light to you as you both enjoy the moments of beauty as you find them; and walk the path of re-claiming the knowledge of every moment of Owen’s life. Talula

I love this post, Linda. Champagne is so hoity-toity and salami is so salt of the earth. Why not both together, though? Yes.

You sound so much better these days. It cheers me to think of you as finding a little more joy. Ruby sounds like a darling.

Happy New Year!
