I just wanted to let you know Sieg, you really are surrounded by people that care about you. We may not live in the same city but I know many people here feel your pain and are wishing you peaceful days ahead. I had a little talk with my rocks last night after reading your PM and a bunch of them volunteered to jump in a box so they could come keep you and Oliver company. There is only one problem, I drew smiley faces all over them with a magic marker. I hope it comes off. I'm hoping this will catch on and by next week, you will be sitting in a pile of rocks that have smiley faces on them, that way you won't have time to think about much else.
In all sincerity, I just wanted to do something for you, because I do care.
Be on the lookout for a bunch of happy rocks.
Your friend,
Jamie

JAMIE This is a very good idea!!! I don't really know you at all Sieg, but I can relate to you in several ways. First, losing our Dads, Our passion for rocks, and the desire to make friends...
I want to do this out of a compassion that Jamie inspired with this great idea...Plus your a very good person, I can tell just from reading your post...
I do have some advice and I write it publicly in hopes others will remember...When my Dad died it was a total out of the blue shock and for several weeks we all walked around in circles. Mom couldn't handle it and we gladly moved her in with us and it helped all of us to be closer...I remember when it was time to box up Dads clothes and his Cowboy Boot collection. I kept some to help remember Dad by. On sad days it helped so much to hug his coat...In a move somehow the coat got misplaced and I miss that so much. You see I learned this survival thing, with me anyways it helped alot. I still can't find his coat and it is bothersome that I could be so careless, and I was...So I encourage you, and anyone, save that special coat or jacket and treat it like Gold as it truly is as it can bring comfort something money can't buy...
I hope I don't sound crazy. Perhaps to some that haven't lost a direct family member you may not understand, but from that day of great loss, our life is never ever the same again...Yes the grief gets easier to deal with but it is there and on days when its to much to bear Sieg, grab that coat and hug it tight somewhere alone and talk to your Dad as I am certain God will let him listen...
Take things one day, or one hour at a time.
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I have some special rocks I want to send you. If you'll give Jamie permission she can give me your address-you just take very good care of yourself and hold your Mom tight as I know you already are...A New Friend-Dale Rhode

before i left dad's room, i took a picture i had given him of him and me, 2 pair of suspenders i had given him that he wore and the day of his funeral, i took, and wore, his watch.
you guys are so thoughtful, i can honestly say i have never known people like you. i've grown to distrust people cause of the many times i was hurt and disappointed in them. you have opened my eyes to a new world. i just feel very numb right now and i'm not sure it has even hit me yet. i keep having to catch myself when i think of the next time i plan to go see him. i've spent hours just looking at my rocks and sorting them to tumble. i can actually see the floor in my rock room, so very soon, i'll be rolling. i just needed to be organized before i started. that's just me. it was kind of a punishment thing, telling myself i can't start my tumblers till i get this mess cleaned up.
