I've seen it. It's real. And it's scary.

02 February 2008

Just so you know...

...you can tell the age of some Wegmans cookies by the color of their sprinkles.

...my interim school Superintendent addressed the impact of the FAIR plan and mentioned the district's pursuit to cut costs as a result. The mailer was a 4-color gloss stock waste of funds.

...my brother-in-law has a "federal government job" and lives in a million dollar home. You're welcome bro.

...you can send a text message to Google instead of dialing 411 for a phone number.

Mr. JeevesMuddy footprints over crusted snow, remind me of the truth of the previous night. 

I had been composed a moment before then.  Muddy footprints, a grave well dug, near his family.

I await the awakening of our child, who mercifully slept through the departure and lonely ritual.  Small mercies grace us all.

Years of faithful companionship and love gone in a wisper to the heavens.

Time moves on without us today, as we remember our love.

Yesterday in the stillness, timeless grey, a February lull, we looked at the squirells that used to arouse such a curiosity, with stillness and consolation.

We were trying to accept our time in grace.  One last look and acceptence of what will be.

Time travelling to various points of intrest making years shift at the thought, like editing a movie reel.   Lighting on past triumphs, laughter and days. 

Then the ticking of the clock and a shift of weight brings you back to now.

An emensely heavy and incredibily light now.

Remember this. We love one another.

The soil has loosened with the mid winter thaw, and comfort will be knowing he is with his grandparents and aunt.

We both lost our spark when auntie died.  She lit us up like spring.  We managed to live without her erascible beauty and joy.  We muddled through you and I.  We filled our days with each other, never being able to completely erase the void.  Yet we had each other.  We honored each other with everything we had.  God knows we Love one another.  Farewell my dear beloved friend.

I spoke with Will on Saturday AM at the funeral for Kevin Mowl and expressed my thoughts regarding the Pulitzer. He is very humble in his accomplishments.
