In reply to the discussion: Tough Ass Day for me [View all]calimary
(90,312 posts)28. Thanks for letting us know, Botany.
There's such a HUGE treasury of sympathy AND empathy here at DU. It's yours with no questions asked, and friends you never met who'll sit with you, online here, and keep you company and not let your spirits droop too far down.
I've said this before, but probably because these words have meant so much to me, so many times, and have kept my morale afloat when circumstances seem to want it to sink to the bottom. It's from our own DUer Skittles: "someone's always here." Just three words, but MAN-oh-MAN do they ever carry weight! Just thinking about them as I write this, and with no really serious issue to deal with in my own life right now, I STILL feel comforted. Genuine MAGIC, Skittles-style.

I'm so sorry, Botany. It's so hard to have to accept when a loved one can no longer
