Anonymous asked: In response to your tooth post. I guess it's tough when either party leaves. And even tougher to have to accept the reality that something that once was, is no longer there. Moving on is much easier said than done (as with most other things in life), and I guess relationship stuff is pretty much based on trial and error; you'll never know if you get things right there and then. Having said that, relationships are all about taking risks. I hope you'll be strong enough to take that risk again.

Hi, that’s really kind of you :) I guess it sounded like a relationship post but I was actually talking about letting go in the context of death. Relationships-wise, it’s not high on my list of priorities right now because family comes first in such times but I do appreciate your words of wisdom. I definitely would take that risk again if and when I meet someone worth taking it for. I’m not afraid per se of the hurt involved in loving and losing someone but I’m afraid of losing myself as I once did. Nevertheless, I really appreciate your encouragement :)
