((((hugs)))) No, life goes on ... and it changes.... as others leave us...
Remember the phrase absence makes the heart grow fonder? I think about that at times... like, WHY? I think it's because we forget the bad... dismiss the faults... and concentrate on the love and the good... and then... we also FEEL their energy around us.

Let her wrap you in her energy... and know you are loved... you aren't alone.
