Dagmar's Blog

I’m assuming this is your bf from Atlanta. One of my best friends committed suicide over 20 yrs ago I wondered what I missed what I could have done differently. I took some of the blame until I realized that that my guilt was my way of thinking I had control over what he did, that I could have stopped him but like “knocking on wood” or wearing my lucky hat is going to make a difference in my teams chance of winning, its a false sense of control the universe doesn’t work that way. The fact is he chose not to say anything to me and he chose to take his own life and that’s on him not me. It took a long time to forgive him but now I remember the good times we had. Sorry for rambling on but I felt like getting that out. Like the song “sunny hours” says “I only count the sunny hours brightest hours of day I never count the darkest hours I let them slip away”

Intuition.

My friend and I were walking on the beach last night enjoying that magnificent sunset when I noticed you and your dogs. Braving all fears of intruding on your quiet time and coming off like an obnoxious fan I had to say hi. Not only do I enjoy your weather reports immensely, but your name has always intrigued me and I jumped at the opportunity to ask you about it, which you kindly explained.

After a brief exchange we parted and I watched you walk away. I didn’t know why at the time but I had this overwhelming sense that you seemed sad, even a bit lonely. Nothing in the conversation or your effervescent smile indicated that. It was just a thought that crossed my mind.

When I got up this morning I decided to google you and learn a little more about our this Dagmar Midcap person that brings us the weather with a face and smile that is like sunshine itself.

That’s when I read about the loss of your boyfriend. I could be off but I think it explains what I felt watching you walk away. Intuition. After all, we are animals, and we do sense things.

I am sorry for your loss. I will send you healing juju through the airwaves Dagmar. I hope you stick around awhile and find new peace and comfort here.

Oh, and I was really glad to read your blog on raw food. I bookmarked the Dragon Herbs since I’m sure I’ll find good stuff through them. That mushroom smoothie you made looks delicious. I’m going for it! I have Hep C and I’ve heard mushrooms are the best thing for it. I have an appt. with a chinese herbalist next week so we’ll see what comes of that. Good luck and all the best to you. Sincerely, meghan

I feel the same way about a similar trauma I suffered. Has it been years, months or only days? I only recently read about your loss. My heart goes out to you. The photos in your journal are very beautiful. You have quite the eye for photography. I hope you find peace and joy here in San Diego. I also moved here after my loss, so we have that in common. I wish you all the best.

I try to watch your broadcast everyday at 4:00 pm. Besides the fact that you an exceptionally beautiful woman, your voice is so soothing. I am glad you are in San Diego. Too bad Atlanta, you lost a good lady. Forever with the pets.

Dagmar,

We in Atlanta recall with sadness when this happened a few years back and how it changed your life. We lost two great people down here as a result and, at least in the ATL, it’s a little less bright around here. A little less fun. I hope you both have found some measure of peace, he in his way, you in yours.

Dagmar, I too know the pain of loss first hand. Back in 1983, New Years Day, I lost my mother to a heart attack. On December 14th, 1998 I lost my father to an aortic aneurysm and heart attack. And in February 2007, I lost my next to youngest autistic brother from complications from asthma. I miss them all. Time heals some of the pain, but most of it remains. I’m with you, sister. We eventually try to resume what normalcy there’s left of our lives. Just remember the good times you had with him, that should carry you through.

God Bless,

When I watch you on television, I’m affected by how pleasant you are. Sometimes this can be a liability or a ploy, especially in our cynical often superficial society. I’m sad to hear about your boyfriend. I had a family member commite suicide, the regret will always be there, keep vulnerable:) I think most people watching want to like you, it’s easier to now knowing your pleasantness doesn’t hide evil!
