This really is exactly what life is about. The fact that we can be happy and sad at the same moment. Or that we can be happy at a moment in time, where others are sad at that same moment. It can not be helped. So maybe the only thing we can do about is is accept it as a fact of life and understand that everybody has to live his own life. And that we can only hope to be so blessed that we have lots of happy memories of the ones we loved. I hope you get the time to visit your family soon, to feel their warmth and love.

I recognize the feeling. I'm always surprised how alive you can become when something sad happens. We'll see eachother soon enough to give you real hugs. Lots of hugs. I recognize the feeling.
