LJ idol, season six, week one, empty gestures

As I walked into the room the bitter sick smell of death was in the room. The whole family was there so that we could say our final good-bye to Tom's dad

HUGS to you. I know that was very difficult since you were so close to him. Beautifully written...

... however, one small minor error, I hope you don't mind if I point out, "after dinner we staying in the room with Dick and two of Tom's brothers remembering stories about Dick."

You have my vote.

Thanks, went in and edited that part.

Very touching piece of writing here. I am sorry for your loss. I know that's something people say, but I do mean it and cannot think of a better way to express my sympathy since I don't know you well except through LJ Idol. Take care. P.

Thanks, I appreciate it. It is strange that after almost two years that it still hurts. I think it is like that with certain people in our lives. Tom's dad was one of those people.

I really like this entry.

[creature_girl08]

Thanks, appreciate that.

I really liked the last line. It's so true, and I think that people forget sometimes in their anger and cynicism that sometimes people are just trying to find closeness in any way they know how.

This is so very true. Thank you very much.

My mum went through something simlar, and no gesture at that time is ever empty.

You are very right in this. I am sorry for what your mon went through. Thanks for reading.
