She's never been the same and has had to go in and out of mental hospitals. My heart breaks for her. <br />My mom and I have premonitions. I have had some pretty crazy ones but nothing like the taste of metal. Robin, we have to meet someday. We have so much in common!<br />hollihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558294192449866387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-36600046066177164742015-11-26T00:43:52.520-05:002015-11-26T00:43:52.520-05:00Hey, girl!

I still seem to be rather on the peripheries of blogging lately. <br /><br />Those premonitions, or whatever they should be called, was truly an eerie sensation for you. How awful and it seems some sort of precursor to the tragic event of the sad loss of your cousin's daughter. I'm so sorry.<br /><br />Hugs to you, my friend.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-13500120445173198692015-11-25T15:06:58.320-05:002015-11-25T15:06:58.320-05:00That feeling is the worst, isn't it???

And a sadness for my cousin who will never get over it.

The summer she died I couldn't shake the feeling something terrible was going to happen. In August, it did. I do get those feelings still, and usually they have some kind of merit.

Now that I've gotten older the percentages have changed. More people I love are now on the Other Side than this one. THAT is a bizarre thing. And I still miss them all. But, I also feel comforted in that they are all together.<br /><br />About the worrying... wow. That's some good stuff. As an experienced worry-wart, I really need to let that go.<br /><br />Yes, I think we all need to appreciate the time we have more. I know I spend too much time fretting about the past and worrying about the future... and not nearly enough time just enjoying the now.<br /><br />Cheers.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-42131293005806143612015-11-23T11:08:06.457-05:002015-11-23T11:08:06.457-05:00Suicide is so hard.

It's really hard losing people.... period. It's harder when they're young and you know that they had so much more living to do. This was my first experience with knowing someone who died too young (and seeing up close the after effects) PLUS the strange prelims of it for me. My second cousin's death was hardest on her parents (of course) and also my aunt (her grandma) and my nanny (her great grandma). After she died, they all took every single picture of her down. My cousin finally put one back up about twenty years later. I have a hard time imagining that sort of pain. Heck, I still get sad about my dad and he lived a full life.<br /><br />As for BoTB... I'm not sure I'll ever get good at picking out the combatants. But, I'll keep trying. :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-12324800681518454602015-11-23T10:53:23.223-05:002015-11-23T10:53:23.223-05:00Can't say I've never had any more "ps...Can't say I've never had any more "psychic moments," but there haven't been any scary ones.
