Lets see.......it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.....no wait, that's been done before.
But still, that is the kind of day it is for me. Super excited and happy that my Grip is out for delivery today, then I get a call that my aunt (who is very much like mother to me) passed away this morning.
She's battled and won against cancer but Alzheimers disease took her life away, she was only 70.
I've cried til my head hurts but doing better now that I've had a chance to think about what this means now. Her pain and suffering has ended, no more torture from that brutal disease. She has been made whole again, she's with her husband and son that she dearly loved and lost, her heart is full of joy this day.
So I'm doing my damndest (is that a word?) to keep that first in my thoughts now, be happy for her, I know that is what she would want me to do.
Now Brutus, gonna give it to you straight here........get a Grip! Really honey, we're getting our GRIPS today!!!Today is a good day! Don't get too excited now, you'll be a distracted driver and that is not safe! Save all that built up anticipation and use it when you get to your mailbox and open it.
Then you bust a move, get down and do a jig right there at your mailbox. It will not only be instant relief, it was also be free entertainment for your neighbors! It will make their day too! (I speak from experience here, I did that once. Pulled up in the driveway as the song "long cool woman in black dress" came on and I jump outta my car and danced every which way but loose. Had no idea the neighbors were watching me til the next day when they asked for a repeat)
WIN WIN!
So sorry for your loss Tammy and nothing but comforting thoughts your way. I lost a son to the war in Iraq and so understand the pain. Tho scars stay...time does heal all wounds and keep the good times of a loss loved one it will help.
