In Memoriam.
My Godmother's mother died.
We went over to her house, and there was her mother, knees on the floor, bent over the couch.
Her face was black from all the blood pooling to her face.
She had been there over a week.
When the mortuary came, they had to peel her mother off of the couch, and there was blood everywhere.
She had been gone so long, her skin was thinner, and the blood just started pouring thru.
I feel bad for her cats.. They hadn't eaten in a week. And I was kind of surprised they didn't start eating her, like they're known to do.
I didn't wake up yesterday thinking I was going to see a corpse bent over a couch, and have the smell of such things running thru my lungs.
An odd day to say the least. My Godmother is doing fine. Her mother wasn't nice to her ever, but she still cried, and accepted it.
A heart attack. And I thought, she's bent over the couch.. How weird. How will I look when I die.
And will people cringe and look away when I'm moved. Will I be left so long without anybody noticing.
In such a case, my signature peach scent will be gone.
I have to make light of this, I didn't expect to see/smell an oldish dead woman yesterday. She thought I was cute.
Either way, I'm sort of wondering what's happening to her now.
She believed in Heaven and Hell and so on.. But if she truly did, she wouldn't have acted the way she did her whole life. She was a surly thing, awful to her daughter, difficult to be around.
(Mind you, I'm not speaking ill of the dead, I'm just curious as to what's going on now.)
Or then again, maybe nothing happens, and she's upset about that.
Huh. Either way, we all hope it wasn't too painful, and we wish the best for her poor old cats..
