Also, s_s.

Sometimes the things you write and the way you write them . . . I'm glad sorrow is only your neighbor now. That was hard for me to read.

Only Smells could break our hearts writing about mushrooms.

And only Paul would have a photo to go with it.

Paul, I really like the repeated "oh my goodness" you posted on your friend's photo of the morels.

I did not realize I had done that.  Bad form on my part.  I was overcome with oh my goodness fever.

It was hard for me to write actually.  I had a rough day after going there and ended up in tears a few times yesterday because of the feelings writing that brought up.  Best to get these things out though.

That whole basement scared the hell out of me, but later it was the only quiet place to go in a house full of people with their hearing aids turned off, so I'd sit down there with the badger, the bear and the dust and study for school.  The couch was right next to the door to the butchering area, so there was always that strange smell of blood and spices in the air (he made sausage at some point too).  It was a creepy refuge, and later a fitting setting for a suicide.

This is the most awesome (in Webster's sense of the word) thing I have read in a long time.  It took me right to that place.  The whole piece is excellent, from the textbook-perfect opening sentence.  Keep at it Mel - whatever else you do in your life, keep writing (even if it's just to us!).

Every time I see the title of this thread I think of Diablo.
