exciting news…  they did pick up the garbage but did not leave a response to my note… yay…

it was quite the day…  while I was at work this morning, my son-in-law came to shovel out the driveway and let me know that the garbage people really did pick-up…

my daughter and I went to the service for our neighbour’s son which filled a banquet hall and where the minister read from a great book titled The Next Place which brought tears to my eyes…  this is the second funeral I’ve attended since George’s death and both have brought flashes of the days following his death to mind…

The Next Place

at supper tonight (payday dinner!) we were talking about how we are each reacting to the upcoming anniversary of his death… my younger daughter is having flashbacks to all of the events starting with the phone call she received from me… she remembers a comment that I made that I didn’t remember at all, until she mentioned it… shows how one’s words can affect others even though those words are completely gone from your own memory… my grandson is also thinking of Grandpa a lot… I am finding these days to be less stressful than the Valentine’s day run-up…

while we were having our supper, across the street our friend and neighbour was having her kids for supper as well… made me wonder about their dinner conversation…

although, after the kids left just before eight, I laid down and woke up around one in the morning, lol…

sun going down tonight…
