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!
I usually attempt to make the people I’m around, smile. I figure if everyone could grasp the bright side of life and spread a little sunshine the world would be a better place.
I know of course, life is serious. Bad things happen all the time, but if possible you can make someone’s life a little easier by listening,, empathising and eventually raising a smile, no matter how faint, then you’ve done a great job of bettering your little corner.
If you can’t make it better, then just don’t make the place worse. Don’t break into houses, steal cars, or beat your wife up. Without burglars, rapists, car thieves and speeding drunken drivers, what an amazing place the world would be. We could leave the scientists, inventors and philanthropists to do the heavy lifting.
