The Lady of Shalott
I have been poking around at the very progressive, left-leaning, democratic website The Daily Kos for a few weeks now and there has been alot that has surprised me about it, which I may blog about at some time in the future. Since that site is almost always about politics, I was surprised to find a link to a diary there (they call Blog posts, “diaries”, at the Daily Kos) that was beautiful, personal, poignant and VERY VERY sad.
For those of who were raised by loving parents in very non-dysfunctional families, this diary will make you want to call your parents and tell them you love them.
For those who weren’t so blessed, (I can think of at least one friend that I would guess could relate very well to this story), I wonder if this might help you exercise exorcise some demons.
Either way, I encourage you to read it. It’s beautiful.

I hope you mean “exorcise” some demons instead of “exercise”! And… you are right, I have to thank my parents as well. They loved my brother & sisters & me well. Its one of the reasons that I miss my Dad since he has gone on to Heaven. He always encouraged me - always!
