The sun shines today, which is nice.
We’ve had clouds and rain on and off since Friday the ninth when Daddy Lane was freed from his physical pain.
It has been a difficult time for me, for us.
Following the last blog Momma Lane and I went down to Richmond for a couple of days to spent quality time with Annette and family. We had a fun BBQ and were able to have a great time in the new Nelms home base (which is sure to be a great location for future family gatherings). Those nephews of mine are a great way to have joy fill the heart and to momentarily forget about some of the ensuing pain to be felt by the loss of Daddy Lane. We have a huge vacuum in the place that that amazing man occupied and with all of the day to day activities that his condition required there was not time to prepare for this degree of sorrow, sadness and depression.
I miss him to the core of my being and have difficulty understanding how moving on will truly take place without having Daddy Lane around to smooth out ruffled feelings and help my internal compass to stay its course.
I find comfort with having his jewelry and clothing to wear and drying my tears with one of (several dozen) hankies from his collection. More cute Daddy Lane dynamics to appreciate.
I am working on the obituary and Momma Lane is getting the information for the rental of a Recreational center near by. We will keep you posted.
These are tough times for all of us so lets continue to support one another and keep tight phone contact. Momma Lane especially will need to hear from us as time progress’, she seems to be moving into a more difficult space but at the same time has been less stressed with not having to see her love in constant pain.
I will continue to keep updating information on the blog site as we learn more and make slow but sure progress with all that is needed to occur.
With Love and sorrow,
Timothy L.
Uncle Dan (Momma’s little bro pictured here with Momma and Daddy Lane) will be visiting us this Thursday. We look forward to his support and big hugs!

Thanks for your support -
Thank you for keeping us in the loop. It seens like we all have lost your Daddylane. Let us know how things are going. As I said many times we are part of a family that has no bounds.

Dear Miriam, Timothy and all the ones I’ve not met;
It’s Jenny Pierson, one of your dad’s AerVac companions at Walter Reed. Just heard from David Baker about Jerry’s passing and I am sending my sorrow and condolences to you for his loss. I have been thinking of him in recent weeks, perhaps as he died. Now I am focusing first on the strength it must have taken for him to come to our meeting in April, to give out hugs and his good will. Please keep me abreast of your party/memorial plans to celebrate his life. I would like to attend. You should have my email, but here it is again: jmpmerton@starpower.net. Wishing you good memories till then. JENNY
