Earlier this year I wrote about a childhood neighbor that passed. Today I found out that his wife passed away a few days ago. The obituary was only published today and the family is eager to bury her so the wake & funeral are both tomorrow during the day. I told myself that I would go to the funeral when she passed but for the life of me it’s the last place I want to be. I guess that is why Rudy & the universe was telling me that I should go in today. I’m saddened to hear of her passing but she lived a very long time. Plenty of family and friends as well as lots of money. It sucks that they both passed this year only months apart but that is typically what happens when one spouse goes, the other isn’t too far behind.
I had sent flowers to the funeral earlier this year but for this one there simply isn’t enough time and rush delivery is super expensive not to mention the cost of flowers to start with. The family said they didn’t want flowers but there are always those people who will send them, I am one of them but not in this particular case. I wish I had a bit more time and that things weren’t so rushed. I don’t get the rush to bury her, other than a cost savings. Anyway, I posted my condolences. I see that they will live stream the funeral so I am going to try to watch that from my office tomorrow.
So many memories. This lady was the nosy neighbor if there ever was one. If you wanted to know about something just talk to her. You couldn’t call because her phone line was always busy and she didn’t have call waiting. I spent a lot of time at their house and have a lot of good memories. I do feel bad for all of her kids, which are all adults now. This is one of those losses that you expect eventually just given time and age but your never really ready for it. The will surely be gossiping going on in Heaven.
Funny thing is that I used to subscribe to an email list where they would email out the obits daily. However, someone saw profit and decided to start charging. Now I have to visit a web page each day if I want that information. I was passing time earlier and looked, her obit was the first one and it just caught me by surprise.
I’m not depressed about it, not crying just kind of in a bit of shock and feel bad for the family.
In other news I happened to see a meme that said you know how when your expecting a package, your more excited to see the UPS driver than to get the package. Damn that was the case for me today. Good looking guy scurried to my porch and dropped the package, then left. I instantly thought of that meme.
The day is pretty quiet and I expect it will likely stay that way. I will be headed up soon to relax and be with the cats. Morea curled up with me at lunch time and she didn’t want to leave. She is so sweet and I remember when I visited she was the bitch and kept her distance. She let me pet her once her brother warmed up to me. He’d warm up to any stranger that would give him the time of day, that cat is for sure a people person. Morea not so much until she gets to know you and trust you. She got her brushing last night. Not that much fur came out which I was happy about. The new food thus far (fingers crossed) seems to be helping.
Not looking forward to waking at 6a but I’ll tell Rudy biscuits at 6a and he will be sure to wake me, just in case I set the alarm. That is usually the time he wants food. There is good and bad with going in but nothing beats the feeling of coming home to two cats who are eager to see you and you have the feeling of accomplishment & joy. That’s not something that I can reproduce any other way but it’s a great feeling.
Hope all is well in your world. Talk with you all again soon.
