Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry, KB.

Herding cats for fun
Thanks, you guys. Your kind words are a great comfort. At least I know Dad had a long, full life in which he got to do pretty much everything he really wanted to.
I don't know what my sister will do without the Bank of Dad, which generously financed her on many occasions. The Bank of Katie will not make so many distributions. It is a much smaller institution that has never petitioned for emergency support since I called home for plane fare back from England in 1985 because my credit was maxed out. How proud I was when I came to his house with a check within a week of returning to California. I thought I was all that and hip with the adulting.

I am so very sorry, Katie Bee. My condolences.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In other news about my ridiculous job, I just got worried for a second and had to google to make sure that crew and rowing are the same thing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My condolences, Katie.

I mean, not in all contexts but if you have to ask then probably yes.

My condolences, KatieBee.
We saved my dad's ashes for 16 years (reverently stuffing them in a box on a shelf in the back of a closet) until my mom died and they are scattered together in the memorial garden at my mom's church.
This is what we're doing, except I'm to divide the ashes between my grandparents' burial plots (my maternal grandparents are on a beautiful sloping hillside surrounded by centuries-old oak trees) and someplace scenic up in the Ozarks.

My condolences, KatieBee.
My mother was a vehement believer in cremation so when my father died, she had him cremated. After quite a while, with the ashes in a cardboard box, she had the ashes interred in a veterans cemetary. She died and my sister had her ashes interred with his.
My sister has the ashes of her now deceased cats and is saving them to be interred with her when she dies. Not sure how to feel about that.
