Four months ago, I would have ran. Hell, yesterday I might have ran. Today, I didn't, but I also cried a river after it was done. <br /><br />I just want to be fair to these women. I have no idea if they remember me. I remember them, so I assume they remember me. I don't know if they know Lucy died, or anything about my story. That yoga instructor took months and months, and many emails, to even acknowledge my loss.still life angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150141781089602529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-3536774805098773122009-07-23T21:05:20.682-04:002009-07-23T21:05:20.682-04:00Angie, I'm so sad with you today and as always...Angie, I'm so sad with you today and as always, in awe of you and your writing. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-84579329845997299342009-07-23T20:24:28.653-04:002009-07-23T20:24:28.653-04:00Crying with you Angie.
