My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
I talked with Dad a few days ago. He sure had an interesting few days. As he was driving north on the highway towards home, his van was rear-ended. Dad was going the speed limit, and so the guy that hit him must have been going considerably faster than that. That’s pretty scary. Dad said he probably would have lost control of the vehicle if he had been driving the Saturn instead of the van.
I’ve always known this, but it’s really been noticeable lately. I can’t really sit down on the couch and zone out anymore. My brain keeps moving so fast, thinking of the projects I’m working on or music I want to play. I can’t sit still. Perhaps I’m addicted to work? I’ve got three projects going on right now, and that doesn’t include my day job. That, and I think I’ve decided to write a book.

The memorial service was held on Monday in New Auburn, and it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever faced. It was so hard seeing all those people coming in to give their condolences. Thank you to everyone who paid their respects. For those that didn’t, we understand. We held up pretty well and it was all over before we knew it. Dad and I were both emotionally and physically drained by the end of the day.
I didn’t get to sleep until four this morning, and that’s just guessing. They came and took Mom away and then we just all sat around talking for quite some time before the tiredness took over. It took me quite a while to fall asleep and I didn’t wake up until Ana came downstairs at about 8:00 this morning. Ana took the news well, having been previously prepared for this by me, my dad, and my aunt.
My mom passed away this morning at around 12:30 am after a long battle with cancer. The last few days have been very hard on her and she has finally found peace. She waited for me. We were here for the last few days and she actually seemed to get better. Carissa was getting sick with a cold and I made the decision to take my family home. We got a call at 11:00 pm saying that it was time so we packed everyone up and went back to New Auburn.
The lady from the hospice came today and told us that there’s only about a day left. Dad and I are to the point where we think we’re ready. Mom was so happy to see Ana today, but Ana is having a hard time dealing with this; she’s afraid to go and see her. Stay tuned.
