I'm Thinking......

......Of maybe deleting this and taking my words to paper.
Ya know, real paper.
So, my kids can like go back and read this crap.
If I have any kids.
If they even care.

My Last Visitation......

Saturday night I was southbound to G-boro when my old man calls and says, and I quote, "Hey! You comin' to visitation tonight?"
And I'm like, "Well, who died?!"
Turns out, it was a lady that I've known all my life.
She was my Sunday School teacher at church for a few years and she's always helped with VBS.
She lost her battle to cancer last week.
I'm not sure how hold she was but I'm sure she had a good life.
She was always a happy woman and very smiley.
I flew back to T-town to get ready (I took a 35 second shower) and then flew on to C-ville.
I got there about 20 minutes before the visitation was scheduled to end, but these things always run late, I know, it's OK.
Visited with a few of my relatives that were still there.
Went in the parlor.
Talked with a few people I knew, including her kids and husband.
Never got closer than 10 feet of her casket.
I couldn't make myself go over and look at her.
I see dead people every single day.
My life revolves around dead people but I could not walk over to that casket and look at her.
I wanted to see her.
I wanted to inspect their work but something was up.
I just couldn't do it.
I'm still trying to figure it out.
I'm a mystery.

Hello......

What's this?
I have followers now?
I'm up to 3!
Yay!
I'm so excited!
When did this happen?
I'll have to think of something interesting to write about now, although I do have something in mind already that's not so interesting but part of my "weirdness."

It wasn't what I thought it'd be but at the same time it was everything I expected.
I guess I can thank TV for that.
I've been desensitized.
It was so much for somebody but it was nothing for me.
TV may have prepared me for the sight but other people and their warnings didn't prepare me for the smell.
They said it'd be the worst ever.
I disagree.
It was warm and woodsy, Southern and comforting, greasy and unhealthy.
