Before I tell you a story of exaggerated and inappropriate behavior that will make you roll your eyes and say, “This woman is out of her MIND!” I would like to say thank you to everyone for your kind words. The funeral services we attended on Saturday might have been the most uplifting of experiences possible for such a sad time. When someone so beloved and so gifted at making other people feel wanted and important passes, paying tribute to their memory is really life affirming. Makes you want to be a better person. Can anyone really ever say anything more flattering about you than, You make me want to be a better person? I doubt it.
I would also like to say: you absolutely adorable poppets who sent us presents! The registry doesn’t give me your address and thus, I am not able to fill out these here thank you notes that I have with your names on them. You should, then, send me your address at thisfish at gmail dot com so as not to cause me excruciating etiquette distress. DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!
Never mind. Addresses found. Thunder lost. Ah, well.
I’m doing preparatory eye exercises.
