my coworker’s gradmother died a week ago Today and the funeral was last Tuesday. The contrast between this one and frat’s was she was in her 90’s and outlived most of her children and a grandchild or two.

soul searching back in overdrive: make a legacy. you’re on this side of being old. you gonna be an old parent. you aint gonna have nobody. just go ahead and pay for your funeral now.

R was telling me about her great uncle who lived for a long time, outlasting his spouse. on her request for the secret of his longevity, he basically responded, “what’s the point of living this long?”

on a different note, after the service and during the procession to the gravesite, the car with the body ended up pulling into a gas station to fill up, bringing all others in tow.
