Richard left his book review

Richard is the first family member to leave a review. He read an earlier version and finished the book over Christmas vacation. He didn’t know all that went on.

I talked to him while on our river cruise about his grief. He told me his would never be as crushing as ours. Typical sibling grief. They never think their hurt compares. I tried to explain that it wasn’t a contest and his counted, too. He was insistent so I just had to lighten up.

But love my oldest son’s review for his mom’s book.

  1. I am sure the two most important reviews you will ever receive will be those of your husband, Randy and your son, Richard. Your conversation with Richard about whose grief was the worst brought tears to my eyes. Still waiting for that level of conversation with Patrick in the future. Thank you.💜

    1. Since I am so open and he knows about the blog and has read the book, it does make having those conversations easier. I started by just saying,”do you remember and talking about charles and then one day I asked him if anyone asked how he was doing?” But my talk inspired his. My husband has promised a post but I don’t know if I would see it or not.
