Wife was up puking all night. Our friend brought her dog over and my wife watched it chase down and murder our old cat that we've had for 19 years. I buried it. There was a lot of bawling, blaming, and squalling.
Another friend calls me yesterday saying they are staking out with the cops the home of a mutual friend of ours (J) who text messaged us all saying he's got a rifle in the other room - threatening to kill himself. I think he's off his meds again.
I got stood up for a movie date by my two friends. (They bought Adena flowers - that was really nice.) Add to this the memories of the death of our baby daughter this time of year (Mother's day - 24 years ago) and I call my mom and wish her a happy mother's day but end up being chided for not going to church that morning. (I was up most the night.)
I feel guilty, but I'm tired already so it doesn't matter much. Life is like that, huh?
Happy Mother's Day all!
Mother's day is a day to expect to be mothered.This means the very thing you wish hadn't happened. It was shall we say inevitable.
