erika, I think the leaving without telling you says far more about her than her relationship with you. Some people just don't want to talk about the hard stuff. Not that it doesn't suck for you, because it does.

Cass, best circumstance about a horrible circumstance is getting to be there, with him and with the rest of your family. And being surrounded by love as well as the loved ones.

It really was the best circumstance during something awful. I worried a lot about moving back at the time but it was so the right call for me.

My sister is posting a bunch of pictures to Facebook. It's a mixture of "Do you have to rend your garments so publicly?" and being really happy to see them. I do realize that I am wondering about her need to be public by posting on a basically public message board. I do see the ironical.

I think it says a lot more about her. And I don't enjoy talking about the hard stuff either but there are times you just do it. I'm sorry for your past friendship though. Even when it fades to almost nothing, I find those hard to acknowledge they've just really gone away.

It isn't on the list of things not to feed your cat.

She is not really very considerate. I mean, when we were younger and hung out more I kind of got the best of what she had, plus what teen could be able to say "You know, your manners really need work."(if there is one, I wasn't like her.)She's just rude, though, and without that cute New Yorker rulebreaker thing her mom has, although that wears thin, too, sometimes. But it's not like I have time or money for a sendoff or anything(besides my mother really never wants to see her father again...it's like the Parent Trap on Heisenberg's meth.)

Cass, I'm so very sorry, but I'm glad you could be there with him.

This was what I was afraid of when Rob died. Ultimately, I don't think there's a right or wrong way to go about this. There's no value in being stoic if that's not who you are. Grief is intensely personal, and I'm glad I had both here and Facebook to help get me through it.

Man, work started half an hour early today, lunch was doable an hour later than usual, and not a dang thing went right in between. Let's hope that wonton soup and egg rolls reboot my attitude, or this afternoon is gonna suck.

I wonder how many FB friends from wayyyyy back when I was a fundie I am losing over my current stance on marriage equality.
