[MD] What's Emptiness?

[118]

HI Marsha,

My condolences.  Your step father still exists in your memory, make him
grand, I'm sure he appreciates it.  In the end, perhaps if our awareness
creates, then all we have exists in our memories.  Cherish and nurture them,
stay strong.  I know, not much help, but the collective unconscious is
indeed supportive.  Can't see any other way to envision it.

Regards,
Mark
