Teppy, how are you and Tim doing today?
Not bad. I'm tired, but I don't have to get up for work tomorrow, so I can make it through today being tired. I'm sad; I feel like I lost my mother-in-law, even if she wasn't my official MiL.
Tim is doing okay. He's going in to work for half a day today, since this afternoon his dad and the boys need to meet with the parish bereavement committee to plan the funeral. The company he works for is owned by family, so they know what's going on, and wouldn't have any problem with him not coming to work today. But I think he wants the distraction. He gets weepy -- I asked him if I could take a picture of his mom to work today to show everyone, and he said, "That's a great idea," and then burst into tears. I figure that's par for the course. As far as grieving goes, it's a good, clean grief.
Jeebus, Tep, what utter tools your cow-irkers are.
And yeah, the tears they're good ones. He's a good one, your Tim.
Lookit! Lookit my gorgeous niece!! [link]
She is absolutely beautiful, Aims! (must take after her aunt)
Aims, she's gorgeous! She hardly looks like a newborn.
October 2011 Shir? Awesome! ...um, remind us when it's closer? :)
Believe me it is better that he is able to cry. Because my father's illness was so extensive I took care of him for so long, it took a week after he died before I could cry.
um, remind us when it's closer?
Really. I mean, how else do you think I'll plan the route?
I'm excited that I'll see you people. And Halloween. But mostly you people.
Teppy, warm gluten-free-cookie thoughts to you and Tim. (Since you don't love hugs, I was trying for something comforting and supportive, and at least I got better than bras.)
billytea, it is always good to hear of Ryan giggling. It's too bad you can't bottle his laughter to sell - I'm sure it would cure a number of ills, and maybe be the answer to world peace.
Aims, that little girl is so beautiful! And that shock of black hair, I love it.
Isn't she gorgeous??? I can't get over her.
And the black hair? NO IDEA where it came from! Neither parent has it! I think it's my grandfather from beyond, personally.
