christmas over and done with. i just hope the radio stations know that. dont get me wrong, i love the holiday, but if i hear that paul mccartney song one more time, i might have to hurt someone.
my neighbor passed away on christmas eve. we went out for dinner and when we came back, the van from the funeral home was parked out front. a little over a month ago, she came over to our house to talk with my mother. my mom told her to see a dr cause she was all jaundiced. turned out she had pancreatic cancer. its unbelieveable how quickly it killed her. it was just her husband and her living there. hes 82. we were sitting with him as the funeral home people removed her body from the house. he said you know one of you is going to go first, but he always thought it would be him. it broke my heart to look at him. for almost 60 years he has spent everyday with this woman. suddenly, everything he does is no longer for two. its the little things i was thinking about - he now has to make himself dinner and eat alone at that table. the bed will always have an empty side. the mail will keep coming to the house in her name.
growing old scares me. you buy into the false notion that you find someone to spend the rest of your life with. till death do us part. but nobody ever mentions the time you might have once it does part you. ok, im not going to think about this now. it just upsets me.
i hope everyone had a nice holiday. sorry to be a downer. but if i didnt do it, who would??
