Whether it's an honored consort or the final harvest, Halloween marked an ending. I think it's apt that it should be such an anniversary and mile-marker for me. It reminds me of one thing ending, so that another can begin.<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for your very kind words and for being so supportive. It was one of the more difficult posts for me to write. Sharing such personal histories isn't an easy task for me. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks again.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-55356977809902378952008-11-02T00:02:00.000-07:002008-11-02T00:02:00.000-07:00andrew.... what a beautiful and touching post this...andrew.... what a beautiful and touching post this is. you guys seem so close i guess i thought it was always that way. <BR/>what a great magical "anniversary" halloween is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-47098510980012969382008-11-01T17:42:00.000-07:002008-11-01T17:42:00.000-07:00It's funny how sometimes what appears to be an ins...It's funny how sometimes what appears to be an insignificant event--in this case your date cancelling out on you at the last minute--can be the catalyst that turns our lives around.jeweledrabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059417781372931595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-32556221202144246512008-11-01T16:41:00.000-07:002008-11-01T16:41:00.000-07:00Thank you for that post.

Whether it's a brother, a sister, a mother, a father, a lover, a friend... I feel as though it's one of those universal experiences that almost everyone shares on some level. It's sad that it has to happen, but I guess there's comfort in knowing that it's just another part of life.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-84495944472661752052008-10-31T09:20:00.000-07:002008-10-31T09:20:00.000-07:00Thanks Jobee!
