thanks for the memories my soon to be dead ancestor!
Friday, April 27, 2007
My great aunt is at the edge of life and death and has elected to stay in a quite expensive nursing facility until the end.
To help fund her new lifestyle we must sell most of her belongings, thus I was told I needed to go to her house and see if there was anything I wanted.
Which is why I now have 3 great new hats. There wasn't anything else of interest as she loved furniture and random lamps that I've never liked enough to covet.
What I realized is that the house is linked to many great memories.
All I really wanted was to sit in the amazing sun room and drink a coke.
That's all I wanted from the house and I couldn't have it (there weren't any cokes). In the old days they'd buy cokes when they knew I was coming to visit and they'd smile and laugh at all of my silly childish jokes.
The cruelty of life isn't death, it's that we have to get old.
