The Grieving Room: late, substitute edition

Apologies in advance for this late-posted edition of The Grieving Room!  [my excuse: stuck in a meeting until 7:15, had to get home to eat, see kids, and do another hour of work to make up for missing tomorrow, since I'm volunteering for OBAMA in TEXAS!]

For those who haven't experienced the TGR series, we are a group of people experiencing the ongoing journey of loss and mourning.   The comments are a safe place to unburden yourself, so please don't hold back.  I have found it to be a wonderful outlet for my own loss (which is approaching a pair of anniversaries, as my mother died on Good Friday last year, so I will be marking both that day and April 6th, the actual date of her death).

Since I am in a hurry to get this up for your comments - and I'm hoping it won't be too late to be of some use to someone tonight - I'm simply going to put up a collection of hosting dates, and ask people to volunteer to host a future TGR Diary.  

The "rules" are simple: there really aren't any.  It's nice if you can put in a LINK to all previous Grieving Room Diaries, but even that's not required.  It's also ideal if you can stick around and host the comments for a bit.   But we'll take what we can get.

Again, sorry for not having a real diary for you all - you could take tonight to read back over some of the amazing ones we've shared, if you like!
