Less Crap

Personal Bits

Stepdad passed away last night. The bugger insisted on no service but Mum will be having a remembrance party sometime in the spring when things calm down.

So that’s my weekend salvaged.

Oh please. I’m kiddin.

    OH.MY.GOD. so sorry about my response, that was pretty horrible of me. i thought the part you were kidding about was the death. the not closing his eyes anecdote is quite moving.

    check, check on the gruff! it’s changed.

    Thanks! He was a good man. He made my mother comfortable and happy right up to the last.

    Mum told me that after all the tests and long waits and staff in and out of his room for 48 hrs solid, the last day he was alive he wouldnt sleep. He kept his eyes open even after Mum closed the door and shut the lights off.

    “Why won’t you shut your eyes?” she asked.

    “Because yours are still open,” he said.

    in the world of karma, i think the above grants you several negative points on the scale. however, i understand you are good at repenting. break out the knee pads.

    ooh, thanks for the linkage. i did the same, have a look and see how much you hate the description i wrote, and feel free to give me a blurb of your own to replace it with.
