People do die from seizures, it's a fact that you live with every day. Life is just hard.

I felt your feeling and it made a tightness in my chest.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, and the others of your 'How we do it' posts. They're my favorites (along with mermaid at the beach pictures).<br /><br />I'm back from a week in Sonoma Valley. With a month of traveling and deadlines I haven't kept up, looking forward to getting to read friends again daily.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-73102826905674434662011-10-14T06:46:21.857-07:002011-10-14T06:46:21.857-07:00beautiful.beautiful.krlrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392064691347464660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-66347931923683673912011-10-14T05:58:54.642-07:002011-10-14T05:58:54.642-07:00*sniff* and *hug* xo*sniff* and *hug* xoSelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906565055142387639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-63821010566569519682011-10-14T00:50:52.111-07:002011-10-14T00:50:52.111-07:00Reading your words, paying attention to them, but ...Reading your words, paying attention to them, but silently.<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know.<br /><br />xoT. https://www.blogger.com/profile/16509409207991963533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-74461578069985024372011-10-13T22:46:17.139-07:002011-10-13T22:46:17.139-07:00I don't know how you do it but I am glad that ...I don't know how you do it but I am glad that somehow you do.
