So sorry! Some memories do hurt, as this must, too.
Still, you did have a good time with her just before you left, and that's really something to be happy about.
I am sorry for your loss. What a beautifully vivid image of a beautiful person in your life! Taking a "mind photograph" is something I have done before, too.
I've been banned from ladders too. In 2021 I fell off a ladder 11 steps down, broke both of my feet painting the trim on our house before we sold it. I made the move to Las Vegas with my feet in air casts and crutches.
I would outsource window washing at this point, the list may grow as I age.
Yes, I agree.
I've let go of many things, but only after bugging myself for a few minutes or so. Yes, letting go helps most of the time, within reason.
And I remember that case. That is something I can't wrap my mind around, though. That man must have been a saint.
I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
Write about language - What languages do you wish you could speak? What’s the most pleasant sounding accent? What’s the funniest word in the English language (or your native language)?
I love the sound of the Italian language. You could be reading out a shopping list or a talking about dysentery and it would sound romantic.
I’ve tried several times to learn French. I started when I was at school but if you don’t use it you lose it.
There are some great words in the English language. Old words that have stood the test of time that I still use in everyday parlance. “All that Milarky” meaning goings on or happenings. And I like gubbins too. A thing of no value, or hard to describe.
