Talking about not having anything particularly funny to say, we really just want to read what's going on with you... whether it's that you're happy, sad, or whatever. We're right there with you, friend. Be well.Sudeaux Luxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083310421645018042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075205.post-13666073164170262082008-09-07T12:24:00.000-04:002008-09-07T12:24:00.000-04:00Your Mom died on the same day that my Dad died in ...Your Mom died on the same day that my Dad died in 1995. This time of late summer with the particular sun angle and plants sensing the big production days are over, and certain insects that chirp and sing this time of year. It always makes me think of that difficult time. Your experience feels so familiar too, and reminds me of those days of stunned but needing to do things anxiety and numbness. I was executor, so I in particular had to go through a lot of drawers and boxes and stuff and found that old detritus of long ago times. Times before I was around, when Dad was my age. The old Navy records of WWII in Europe, so distant from now, but somehow directly connected to me? How odd it felt.<BR/><BR/>I hesitate to read your blog at times now because it is difficult. I do anyway because it somehow feels like I'm supporting you by going through some of it with you. I know you've got lots of close friends to mull things over with and I doubt I could add much, but do get in touch if you want to talk.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950264324560646790noreply@blogger.com
