TIME

It's been a busy couple of weeks here since Judy died.

Paperwork, beaucracies, foul-ups, feeding myself, sorting a lifetime of possessions.

Telephone calls, cards, concerned friends.

It all adds up to a process of keeping my mind off of my loss.

But not always.

Some days are slower than others, when I just don't want to face any of that stuff.

When I think of her, which is often, sometimes I chuckle at something she said like the first time the paramedics and firemen came and were hovering over her.

Out of the blue, she said "I can't remember when I've had six men in my bedroom before."

Then there are the times when something pops into my head and just for a second I think "Oh, I've got to tell Judy", before I catch myself.

And there are the times when I get a little teary just remembering her.

So like I said at the start of this, it's been a busy but rough couple of weeks.

Thank you all for your kind comments and actions.

(My next door neighbors came over last night with a big portion of lasagna alfredo and a container full of tiramisu, both homemade, for my meal today.)

As I've told everyone, I'm getting through this and I'm not the first in my family to do it.

My grandfather, my father and my brother all lost their wives.

They all survived and so shall I.

And yes, the Friday Funnies will return.

I'm just not sure when.

Thanks for being there.
