Shannon got up.

Shannon got up because the Alpha Female requested she do so.There. Fixed it.

I think she got up because a kid annoyed here, but I took the opportunity to vacuum the living room and the hall.

I just got word that my friend Sharon passed away last night. They took her off life support and let her go Home.

Best wishes to Sharon for a great eternity! And my sincere sympathy to her family and friends.

Was she ready to go?

I ask because I lost two loved ones who were ready to go. I miss them both every day, but take comfort in knowing they knew it was their time and went willingly on their terms (within the limits of their illnesses).

She was probably more ready than most. Not to mention the fact that she had been in ICU for over a month, intubated for almost the entire time, and not always able to communicate.

To put it irreverently, she “had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.” I think she was living in both worlds for some time now, so it may have been a relief to finally let go of this one.

I’m saddened, because I lost a step-daughter two days ago, and now my friend. The former, I didn’t know as well, which makes it even sadder (my loss at not knowing her) but the latter because I saw Sharon at least once a week for three years, and even two days before my move.

However, death is a part of living, and we all need to make that passage, so I hope when it’s my time, I can do it gracefully.

I’ve asked for funeral info so I can at least send flowers. Just to let folks know I’m thinking of her and those she has left behind.

Some person running to replace a GOP Rep tweeted about “New Yorkians.” The GOP Rep “pounced.”

However, death is a part of fallen living

I think the reason we rail against death is that, in our deepest selves, we know we were made for eternity.

Thanks! It was expected, but as I learned when my dad died, it’s still a shock. I guess it’s the thought that they would actually WANT to go.

Well, we came from eternity, so it’s only right that we go back to it, to be Eternal. This life is just a “probation” of sorts.

Ask anyone who has had a near death experience if they fear death.

The answer is almost always, “No”...

Seen on Facebook: Try to be the reason a stranger throws up at work.
