My father stood up one day and fell down dead. My mother went wacky in 1995 and her body died in 1998.
I don't know which way was easier ... when my father died, I was angry --- blindingly, bitterly, viciously angry --- for weeks afterward; that's how I grieve, apparently. When my mother died, everyone remarked on my composure ... when all I could think was that she'd truly left this existence years before.
People being what we are, I guess it's not how you leave, it's the fact that you did leave that's so hard.
Ain't it the truth? Thanks for the prayers.
My step-dad Frank, on the other hand, surprised everyone by having an anneurism. No warning at all. Easy for him, surprising for us. It's something we talked about when mom was sick right at the end, that we'd like to go quick and without warning... maybe be hit by a truck... Something immediate so we would never lay there dying, never to wake, while people sat around and stared at us. Maybe that sounds strange, but Frank and I spent an eternal 24 hours with my mom at the end - where she was starkly different than she was in life... unconscious, lungs filling with fluid, seizures - and it was a hard time to know what to do with.
So when Frank died so suddenly, I thought good for him... he died on the way to the kitchen.
The dead have moved on, have made that leap, or stroll, to the Rainbow Bridge to collect their loved ones, and then, perhaps, over the Bridge to the next Big Thing.
It's us, the living, still here, with only a vague notion of that Big Thing, who grieve and struggle with the hard parts of this life.
And, yeah, once the funeral was over and I lost the almost insurmountable urge to vigorously and repeatedly apply a two-by-four upside assorted crania, I realized I was angry at my daddy for dying before I could say what needed saying. (I was also angry at all those other people, but that's another story.)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... grill... way kewl...
Oh what a wonderful blessing!
Good morning! Is it Friday yet?
How beatiful! And so full! My garden has great big empty spots.
But it's got to the point that planting anything that isn't planted in a hardware cloth container is just feeding the gophers...
:-(
Woohooo! I just won Joshua's Math TE! Got it for just a dollar more than half price, including shipping.
So far so good with the Ebaying business...
Good morning everyone :~)

Mornin'.

They deliver the desks and such today.
I guess it's time to get serious and start test-driving this baby. I'll prolly ask someone to give me a payroll tomorrow to make sure everything works as it should.
It's just like Christmas at your place :~D
Post some pics of the new office when it's set up!
My goodness. What an excellent setup, eh??
Good morning!

I'm fixin' to take the jedis to a friend's house...she has a pool like ours and we alternate visits. We're going to her house for lunch and a swim.
