Saudade: Bitter-sweet melancholic yearning in Portugese ( Sodajeh)
In fact, her words were, how could you do this to me? How could you leave me? And that really cut deep because it was kind of true. And then shortly, a year after I had a baby, she was gone. She died in unusual circumstances in a hand gliding accident with her boyfriend. They both died. It was tragic. But here's where the word sodajeh comes in. I am so grateful and so, so blessed

Georgie, not to take away from your absolutely beautiful swell. I just wanted to say that I was really struck by the fact that I didn't know about this word and that it represented something beautiful that was gone. Sudajay. And my name Sudha, which is a shorter version of that is actually a word that means timeless, that which lives forever. So I wonder if they both have the same route. And it is just that which is gone, whereas that which is timeless

But that still brings us joy. Words are great. Amazing. This is from a set of cards that my niece gave me for my birthday. I think there's 40 cards in the deck, so I'll probably do one every week. I think it's always my fascination languages. So this is expanding my vocabulary. Thanks for adding to the conversation sorta

People talk about how hard it can be to remember things the name of an acquaintance from school or a place they holidayed years ago. But then there are also these little things, like, like a song or a name or a face in the crowd that can take you back instantly to a treasured moment back in time. So I think this word Sudarjay did that for you, Georgie. I just can't tell you how beautiful your words were

I lost a dog three years ago as well, and I still can't look at the photographs of the dog either. I know it's not really comparison, but we do love our pets, don't we? It's easier for me to think about these things than to look at the photographs. But I find that very traumatizing. Even looking at photographs of my son when he was a baby
This was the hospital where I had my son. So I remember walking out of those gates, my little one all wrapped up exhausted in pain and looking like roadkill, but so happy and smiling and content. So that memory is imprinted somehow in my head. After all these years. And all it takes is a glimpse of the old hospital building to bring those memories back. So I guess you did succeed in making me all repeat now. Bye

Thanks, buddy. I'm going to do one every week. I'm 40 to share with you guys. Thanks to my beautiful niece who gave me a gift. I got some really thoughtful gifts. On my birthday. My friends really had a good thing about it. They put their brain to the task, and they got me things that I either really wanted or that I didn't know I wanted, but it was in my interest. Hamster, wheel, sandbox. What's the phrase?
Georgie, I always love your artistic and creative and expressive audio. And this was no exception. Like you. You gave Amanda form. You gave her life. I can see her in my mind's, eye, and not just her physical form, but like the essence of who she was. And she seems like the person that we'd all want to know
