Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This sounds lovely and appropriate and then you won't have to think about it anymore.

I wish you strength and any measure of peace you can find tomorrow. Recent funerals have shaken me to the core but also they were, in their own strange and terrible way, comforting. Especially for someone so young as Marni.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really don't have any words, ita. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry ita.

In happier news, since I'm home now, and I won't be for my birthday, my family had a birthday dinner for me tonight. My 10-year old nephew planned it, so we had all his favourites (crappy Chinese and Ice-cream Cake) and it was fun. I got a few gifts (I don't normally do birthday presents with my siblings. I'm still full. Good times.

So much fun!

I do wonder at what the Nephlet (also 10) would do if he planned a party. And I am scared a little.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That sounds like a lovely evening, Sue.

When is your birthday?

Another September baby. There are a lot of us around.

I've done laundry, and most of the dishes, and now have a gimlet and am mainlining Arrested Development. YAY.

The hardest funeral I've ever been to (and really, only one other is in the running though there were more) was for my freshman physics prof. The reason I chose that school. What made it hard was that it was the first that I'd had to do on my own, and the utter and complete devastation of those who'd known him longer. So I kinda get it.

I was poor, I didn't have anything right to wear, even as I knew, chosing something right? Was impossible.

Wear something you are comfy in. And if you can stretch, something she would have admired.

One of the defining moments for me (defining of what, I don't know) was sitting at the memorial service, in a balck theater, watching dust motes and sensing the unbearable spring outside. Full of life, bees buzzing, redbuds blooming ..and this guy was dead.

Dude, your birthday dinner was nearly a year ago, Lee??? That is unpossible. Except for that pesky whole trip around the sun thing.

Minus about 2 weeks, yep.

Hey, wanna go to Vegas, with Juliana and Emily and I, in about 2 weeks?
