Major Life Changes
The last three weeks or so have been a nightmare, sorry dear reader. The photo is K beginning what would become her 2nd to the last hospitalization, with C snuggling beside her mom. (To protect identities, the photo is a stock shot.) K died on the Ides of October around 4am CDT. I’m truly sorry to mark the death of my best friend. We had the memorial service on Sunday, and the funeral on Monday. The internment await(ed) the urn’s delivery, which I assume has happened. Last weekend (24th) was the emptying of her apartment. There are so many ways we bump into the event: Last night SS-P and I were watching “The Proposal” and C sat with us for a bit. She left saying this was the last movie she’d ever watched with her mom. I was organizing papers, and read her death certificate. I’m very interested in how long our public personas coast on without us; how specific the steps are to apply those brakes. I wonder how this will change over times to come. I suppose it will always be “relatively easy” when there’s a corpse and an unchallenged chain of custody. Thanks for reading.
