I remember refusing to make eye contact or speak to him the whole week-end that I was in town and had to be in the same room with him. But when I started to leave I just had to go up to him and say "I'm sorry about your Dad, I loved him alot". I had grown up knowing this family. Well, on the way home (a very long drive) I was in such a strange place emotionally. I turned on the radio and Elton John's song "Blessed" came on right away. I swear it was as though it was just for me at that moment, being sung directly to me. It has been a healing song for me ever since. If you don't know the song give it a listen, and put yourself in place of the child he is referring to in the song. Sorry for the long post but it needed a little explanation! :-)
