Weekend of Death

Quite literally.

I called my mother yesterday to see how she was, and got a boatload of death notices.

Penny Beaudinet died. She was a friend of the family, and had been struggling with cancer for a long time. We're going to miss her: she was good people.

My G.P. died. (Oh, the irony) I can't bring myself to feel bad for the misogynistic SOB, but I'm put out that I now have no doctor. Bleh.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn died too. Yes, he was old and it wasn't unexpected, but I still feel like another bit of my cultural history has died.

My condolences.

I was commenting to J this weekend how we were getting about "that age" when we see much more of this kind of thing.

My own father is hitting 70 this year and I cringe thinking about it.

My condolences. I had a bunch of deaths in my life recently too. They always seem to happen in threes.

I'm so sorry.
