This section will be for anyone's comments about the life and death of my father, ROBERT TALMAGE KIRKLAND. Feel free to expound...he was worth it.
Keep the faith, bros, and in all things courage.

Thanks, darlin'. Logically I know you are right. But when you are in the depths of the pain, all you know is you want it to end. Too bad there's not a pill to just take it all away, isn't it? But then, it's a growing experience, and in our weakness we'd take the easy way.
ReplyDeleteThanks again...it's been much harder than I anticipated.
Your words mean a great deal to me. I always knew it would be a difficult thing to lose my parents, but it's like the pain of labor; you know it's going to be bad, but you honestly have no concept of it until you've been through it. I have found that the shared memories and pain of those who have been through it is very helpful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLet me offer you my condolences.
ReplyDeleteMy own fathers passing was extremliy painfull for me. He was a vet. WWII (North Africa, Italy, and France) and then Korea. He was my hero and a hero to my grandsons.
We keep his memory alive with pictures and stories that we love tell. No you never get over it, and it will always hurt, but the memories just get sweeter. Peace be with both thier souls
Pappy, thank you so much. It's ben six months and it gets harder. He died very disappointed in me because I continue to write without making a dime yet. That hurts most of all, but your words help a great deal...thank you for that. I won't forget it.
ReplyDeleteLove, Resa

ReplyDeleteThe compliment here for you Resa is in that your dad thought your work was worthy of making a living. He was no doubt proud of you and your writing and couldn't understand why it wasn't receiving the value it deserved. You'll get there, and your dad will see it.
Ah Doug...you're always good for what ails me. Thank you so much. I hope you're right...I miss him.
ReplyDeleteI did not know your dad and I only know you from your writing but from what I have seen he must have been a lot like my father-in-law. He was a WWII vet and I miss him too. Glad to still be with his favorite daughter. I like your un PC-ness. I found you through your latest article posted at the Absurd Report and your writing and knowlege is impressive. You are so right about our seeming national suicide death wish. Tell it like it is because willful ignorance is all too pervasive.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alnot. It has been much harder than I ever would have thought. He raised me right: to despise PC. He felt its hypocritical bite in his job for the federal government. Did you ever think you'd live to see the day when they'd call "right" wrong and "wrong" right?
