No real reason
No real reason for updating other than I feel the urge lately to pound the keys in a determined way. Humor me.....:)
I am sitting at the computer at the moment watching the men across the street rebuild a neighbor's front porch. Actually, it is no longer my neighbor's front porch, for he passed away a few months ago. Over the years, I would occasionally bring him hot meals or desserts on summer nights, but I can't really say I was a "good" neighbor to him. He never married, but lived instead with his brother in that house since he was a child. His brother passed away a few years ago. The remaining brother had his health issues, one of them being a broken hip about a year or so ago. I can't imagine how lonely this man felt because he was found dead a few months ago. Apparently he hung himself in the house, which not only gives me the heebie jeebies, but it also makes me feel extremely sad. I can't imagine feeling that lonely......(although I have had moments in my life of feeling alone) I hope he is in a better place filled with love and familiar faces.
I am working as a medical assistant and love my new job AND my new career. We just laid to rest my father in law on May 29th. He suffered greatly due to cancer. With his last breath, while laying in his bed at home, he reached for my hand, held it to his heart.......and passed away. This man, in my 10 years being married to his son, drove me NUTS on occasions. He was opinionated and was always right.....(in his mind anyway!). Over the years I learned how to deal with this. I was honored to be sitting with him when he died.........and I know he knew what I did for him in the end. I miss you Joe....you stubborn old man!!!!!
That's it! Bye kids......:)
