Thanks Holly and Pinky. It was a very harsh situation that took me two years to get past. When my Dad died, I blamed myself for a long time. My wife, daughter and I had been somewhere and we drove right past Dad’s house just hours before the fire of their home started. My daughter seated in the backseat was only 5 at the time, but she started saying, “Grandpa, Grandpa.” I asked my wife if she wanted to stop and she told me if I wanted to. We were going to be there for dinner the next day, which was Sunday, so I just kept driving. I always wondered what would have happened differently, if I would have stopped.

How would you have felt?

I would have been destroyed, but it was a tragic accident and you probably couldn't have prevented it..but I the heartbreak must have been horrendous, but certainly not you to blame..

I feel the same about my mother's death, I felt if I'd been there she wouldn't have died... but the truth is you can;'t be there all the time

This may warrant a new thread all of it's own @oldman, sounds like you need to release some pent up memories, and other may like the opportunity to do the same.. I think if you feel up to it, you should start a new thread.

I would have done as you did, but I understand how conflicted you would have felt. I hope you have been able to come to terms with it through the years. That's a lot of guilt to hold on to.

Let me tell you, it took a lot of therapy, but even now, there are times when I ask myself, "What if...."

Spotted this little guy on my walk this morning. He was so busy looking for food that he didn’t see me until I said something.

I just realized there is a dot on my face....LOL!!!! I don't really have a dot on my face...My Mom and Dad bought the cottage in Upstate
New Jersey...In the Mountains....Mom had to watch for the bears when she took out the trash....I wasn't fond of the house....they only
had it for 2 years and bought a house in another part of New Jersey...Mom and Dad also had a house down the Jersey Shore after that...
Then they decided to come to where I live and they bought a house there....I was happy when they finally stayed put.....I wish I had them
back.....

Wild Trillium off the edge of my yard:



These grow at the edge of my yard, only get a few inches tall. Anybody know what they are?

Are the blue flowers forget-me-nots?

I love seeing that wild trillium in bloom, @Old Dummy

I'll go with @Pinky ;s guess on the blue magic ones.

Hi K, yes the delicate trilliums only bloom for a week or so, then they're gone for the next 51 weeks.

How are you doing?

 

[RadishRose]

Dunno.

I think so
