Wow, sara, what an multidimensional experience. I can understand how it would take some to mentally unpack all of that.
sj, toddlers have no clue, but when they get older (lots older) and have that experience with their own kids...yeah, it comes full circle and you get to laugh when you look back. Toddlers won't starve themselves. They will eat when hungry enough.
K-Bug and fam picked up their puppy this morning and I got to play with her in the afternoon. Eight week old golden retriever puppy. She is a fluff ball with short legs and big paws. Crowley will meet her on Wednesday. Meanwhile, my homework is not doing itself.
I have so many thinkings.
And I've got to interview a person fresh outta undergrad in 10 hrs. Oy.
Jesse!! Rosa was at my gaygaylady conference this weekend!
I'm a little drunk and autocorrect is very helpful
That was really lovely to read, sarameg. Well done.
iSacramento? Auto correct so weird.
Aw, man, my best friend from high school died suddenly over the weekend. We didn't stay close for various reasons, but that's a gut punch.
I'm so sorry, -t! ~ma to you and the family.
I'm sorry, -t. This mortality thing basically blows.
sarameg, that was delightful to read. I am sure the family really did appreciate the outpouring of love and comfort. I get the whole not recognizing the 21 yo you. I barely remember that me. Still, it was very important making you who you are today, and the people are important too. I'm glad it was a good experience, although no doubt more than emotionally exhausting.
DH is off to a funeral this morning. We went together yesterday to the viewing, but one of us really has to work on a Monday morning. DH worked with Juan both at a bank and then brought him with him when he moved on to medical practice. The medical group paid for all the funeral expenses. They are really lovely people. Most of the bank people we hadn't seen in a decade. Good to see how many people loved him. He was sweet, funny, and flirtatious. 60 years old enjoying his large family and grandchildren, and gone.
I'm so sorry, -t. And Laura.
