I deleted my sisters contact details today

*hugs*

I've had the misfortune of having to remove names of people and its like finally accepting that they're gone forever.

Once whilst I was at Dads house I was playing back his answermachine and forgot to switch it off. It eventaully reached a part in the tape where Mum (who had died a few years earlier) was talking to my sister. It was both surreal and joyous to hear her talk again.

*BIG HUGGLES TO THAT WOS*

I didn't want to do it, but I had to. I couldn't bear the thought of not being able to email her or see her sign into msn ever again

This is something I actually thought of happening. Maybe because I try to think that despite of how much we love someone, they are, like we are, mortal. I try to learn to accept the thought. Not that it is easy.

Then again, deleting from a program does not delete from a heart - there she will always be available to call.

*HUGS*

You're much stronger than me then. A very close friend of mine passed away 4 months ago and I still can't bring myself to delete her details, I don't think I ever will now...

You're much stronger than me then

My mum has done similar things, and she is in a worse state than me...

I'm still feeling distant from it all, with not having gone home yet

Another hug.

4 years on and we still have a favourites folder named after MrsB's Dad full of stuff he was interested in on the old PC.
