My mom is on her way to Thailand already! That was fast. My uncle isn't able to make it, so they're hoping to delay the cremation ceremony for 50 to 100 days. If they do that, which is likely, I will probably be able to go to Thailand too. She keeps asking me if I'm okay, which makes me feel really guilty. I don't think I deal with death as badly as everyone else around me and maybe it's just because no one so very extremely close to me has died yet. A lot of great friends and awesome relatives and good people that I adore and have seen on a daily basis have died, but sometimes I feel a little too blunt to comprehend all of it and properly mourn.
On that note, October 10 recently passed and I did not think of my cat at all. I think she died in 2006. There used to be a time when I said I was going to think of her every day and when I thought I was going to die, I thought of her because I wanted her to be the last thing in my mind. Sometimes the healing process of time is depressing.
Back to my khun yai, it's a little crazy that so many people all over the world (!!) are crying and crippled and so utterly in shock. I guess that's what happens when you raise a huge family and do it well.
