I am almost never around lately, but I love catching up when I can. This school year has been challenging, and we are officially in what we call the "hundred days of May." I will cross this finish line, but it ain't pretty.
Sophia, sending you so much love. I LOVE that you are adding humor to her obituary. It sounds perfect. Writing my dad's obituary (which I did mostly sitting by him in the hospital hospice room; he had long since lost consciousness) was oddly therapeutic for me. I hope it brought you solace, also.
Tep, yikes! I'm glad he's going to be okay, but that's a lot. Hang in there.
Hugs, Karl. I hope things stay better.
YAY, Calli!
It was a Miyazaki day here, I wish my friends could share the stress-cleansing breezes, blue sky, and sunshine.
I love this, Beverly.
Today we celebrate and send the happiest birthday wishes to Karl! I hope you are being spoiled today and that this year brings all you hope for and more.
For the record, today's Connections was just plain stupid and I don't even care that it broke my streak. So there.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Karl! May your year ahead have much joy in it.

It was, in fact, very stupid.
Broke my Connections streak two days ago, but today's I got on the third try. How odd.
I am an outlier -- I liked it. But only few and far between with the non-standard ones.
Wrote mom's obituary because that was all I could to. For the first and probably last time in my life speaking in public was inconceivable.
I wrote and delivered the eulogy at my mom's funeral mass. My sister came up with me and held my arm. It was very tough, but doing that and a slide show for the memorial held at the Otter Lake Fire Department helped me focus on doing stuff other than just grieving.
Thanks, folks.
Much love and many hugs to you and your DH, Laura, and please tell him that I support him slowing down a little bit so we can all enjoy his presence in our lives for as long as possible.
Love and hugs to you too, JenP.
Trudy, I wish I could just wrap my arms around you for a while; I wrote obits for both my folks (and posted them here, actually) and yeah, there really aren't any words for it. Please let the people who love you take care of you for a little, eh?
