When one of my ancestors became widowed, she sent her children to live with relatives and she took in laundry. I shake off the sadness by focusing on their strength to survive. <br />Wendy at <a href="http://jollettetc.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jollett Etc.</a> Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-18730951243084302832014-04-22T03:43:59.314-07:002014-04-22T03:43:59.314-07:00I can relate to this.

That can leave me with a sense of sadness. And sometimes, when I reflect on things that went wrong for people I love, that makes me sad, too. I don't get sad over characters meeting up with sad things, but sometimes the issues they make me think about leave me a little sad.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.com
