I wonder how many of you have different ways of coping with loss.

There are times when I suddenly miss my mom and dad.  And I only recently lost my maternal aunt and uncle.

I have, over the years, lost my best friend, my college roommate and colleagues with whom I worked and learned.

There are always twinges of sadness, and sometimes there are a few tears.

But the most overwhelming feeling is of sadness that I no longer have them to turn to and cherish.

This day started so very brightly, but clouds have covered the sky this afternoon and more rain storms are in our future, likely tonight.

My cousin Butch and his fiancee, Sharon, have invited me to join them at the club this evening for their oyster roast.  I am going ONLY because a limited menu of other, more edible, items are available. I am not a fan of oysters, as a rule, although a nice fried oyster on a plate of other fried seafoods is welcome.

I shall not discuss the frustration of yesterday that puts us behind in our executorial duties.

But...but...how will we know who to curse and spit upon if we don't know the particulars?

Thanks, Jack, for your thoughts on the question I posed on page 1.

It's usually during a quiet moment when those ghosts intrude.

Music or TV usually chases them out of mind.

From John:

I mentioned Mom’s cream cheese and olive sandwiches the other day. Here’s the recipe:

On days in elementary school that I had chopped olive/mayo sandwiches and my friend had olive/cream cheese we would trade half our sandwiches for variety.

In grade school I remember having to write a report on my family's heritage. It included drawing a country map. I looked at my choices - England and Ireland - and chose Ireland, on the basis that it looked easier to draw.

I didn't write that previous post to bring anyone down.

I wonder, though, what mechanisms some of you might use when sadness comes along.

It didn't bring me down.  As for coping, I embrace my memories, go for a walk if possible, and wait for the pain to pass.

One of the things I did was check if my neighbor was planning a future trip to the mall & See's candy.  Perfect timing as she was going today, and is on her way home with my order :)

I used to love going to See's.

I would order from Amazon, but the prices are a bit outrageous.

It is, essentially, time I was leaving to meet Butch and Sharon for dinner.

I was going to stop by the gas station, but it's raining dogs (not a cat in sight), and there is no longer a protective awning over the tanks at my local Shell. 

Oh, well.

Jane and Ron (and anyone else interested), do either of you go to Costco?  If you don't know about this, my local Costco (and yours too, I'm sure) sells See's gift cards for $40, but they're $50 in value...a 20% discount.  Even if you buy See's once, it's a great deal because the cards never expire. :D
