Congrats Lisa on the birth of nephew Jai. What does the name mean? That is a cute name. I like it. Have fun with him.

yes Lisa... my sorries... i meant to send you and your family congrats earlier on as well ... xo ...

and howlerFor ... my sorries to you and the family ...

my son-in-law committed suicide some years back... in fact... it was the day Meat collapsed on stage... Nov of something... i forget the year now ... what an awful day that was ... i barely knew for myself how i would get through it however... now Meat is well ... and son-in-law remembered fondly ... whenever i think of his face... he is smiling ... of course i mentally give him a little fist shake...

i watched an HBO documentary last night called Boy Interupted ... it was about the suicide of the documentary makers' (parents) 15yo son ... it was sad to see that no matter what help was tried... it just wasn't enough... so many times the determination is just there for a soul to have done with this world and there's nothing we can or could have done .. sad...


and as for the birth for death/ death for birth ... my father unexpectedly died (he was 48yo) in Jan 1973 and my daughter and only child ... xo... born Nov the same year ... i think it may have been the same year Blood Sweat & Tears released their song containing the line "and when i die there'll be one child born to carry on" ... that song always makes me think of my dad and daughter ... take care all of you ... xo
