hi Mercury.
thanks for your very kind reply!
you wrote me:

> I'm very sorry for your loss. On the other hand, 80+ years of avoiding that big truck is very impressive. You're folks should be commended for such great work. We all know how hard it is to stay here. I can only imagine that this was the right time for them to leave. And as it has obviously helped accelerate you towards...well...something important, I have to believe that this was a final gift for you. They must have loved you very much. Never forget...

me:
... ... and i believe every word you wrote is accurate ... ... since the accident, while porcessing this grief ... i have mined some silver lining(s) out of such a tragic dark cloud ... ... .. strange to recognize that there are worse things than to die from being suddenly voilently crushed to "death" ... ... my parents visit us regularly ... ... they're happy ... ... i'm the (SELFISH!!) one who is miserable ... maybe a little miserable ... ... and angry (?)... ... but they are doing great ... ... i'd be bad off if i felt otherwise... one of the first times i had one of those experiences (out-of-the-body), i fell into my sunday school training and asked,
"What must one do to become immortal?"the reply was, "Too bad! You already are!"
... ... my cosmology changed with those words ...
i truly appreciate your kindness ... ... your conversations with Temmie and Habby have raised my spirits ... ... thank you very much!!
take take,
~ jimp.s. and you know, sometimes it can be very hard to leave this world, too ... my folks had their own kind of success.
