I was in tears most of today-because of eomeone i saw today,for the first-and Last time-last for anybody to ever see him again,really,Martin
Richard.Or Krystle Campbell,or Lu Lingzu.
I KNOW,i know hundreds of children have been killed by people of Some faction, already this year,especially in the Middle East,Afghanistan,etc.
This murder touched my heart especially,because Martin Richard looks So much like my own son its completely heartbreaking-his lil permanent teeth
were'nt even properly grown-i noticed that aspect,especially,because in my country we think kids are at their cutest when they're small and missing
teeth-we call them "haasbekkies"-literally translated,as "l'il rabbit-mouths"-ok so we're weird,but that's btw.My l'il dude's a "haasbekkie,at
sixyo.
The other departed women were described as being: 'So very helpful".."a heart of gold"..."bright"..."exceptional"
That led me to thinking;'What do i remember best about the last person who i loved,that died? One of my best friends,an elderly lady passed away
recently.And in my past,a 20yo young friend of mine died in my apartment while i was at work.About each of them,i remember at least one unique
thing.
My elderly friend's Exact tone of voice when she was happy,or said "Oooohhhh yeessss" whenever i said,eg:"Auntie K,do you want some
choc-chip-vanilla-doublechoc cheesecake with vanilla sauce?" Or the gleam in my old departed friend,who was so young to die's catgreen eyes.I include
a vid that makes me always think of her-because when she was still here,it always reminded her of me.
So that got me thinking-the cautious way people are with each other-the distance caused in distance caused by net-friendships,as substitutes for real
ones,in the real world.We must never become so wary of the world+people in general, that one don't have at least one great/good friend-because when
that one passes,everything good/nice/positive/inspiring the departed had done,is brought back into this world again-you can tell,by the warm feeling
you get in your heart-when you remember them,and it gives one this smile.or even a good laugh or two.
So,the departed remains..
Point of this thread-try to have at least one "Realworld-friend"/relative/even just an aquaintance-that you Remember good stuff about-stuff that will
make you smile(even if through tears) or laugh,that will make you feel brave.etcAnd here's another idea:There are old-age homes all-over,full of
neglected elderly,sometimes maybe one should just drop by,and ask if there's a thing one can do to help at least one of them out,just as an
example.
People have grown apart in a way,i think,because of the net,away from real contact,as in the world before the net.In the long run,that can only lead
to a world of less connection and caring.If you don't know what some one looks like-you don't really care if they live ot die-not enough to make you
cry your eyes out,anyway.
Well,this is sort of a tribute to Martin Richard,that lovely lil boy,and to two wonderful young women too.And to my own friends who have
departed-maybe we should reach out to "real-life people" more,if you're a person like me,who likes to keep to myself-i'm preaching to myself more than
anyone,really.
Best wishes to all,Rax.
