Those damn cell phone commercials with Lil Wayne make me gently weep.

I was very sad to hear about your loss at the writer's group. My cousin is going through the same thing with her mother's passing. She procrastinated on the matters of the estate because, I think, to her that would finally mean she was really gone. I look at my own father who was once very athletic but it now constantly having a pin put in here, a bolt there, as he begins his slow march to becoming a cyborg. I think one of the hardest parts of getting older is watching your parents get older, too. In our heads they will always live on in our heads as the vital protectors who guided us through our childhood.
it's so terrible how things happen sometime. a guy who has been my best friend for pretty much my entire adult life, had both his parents killed in a car accident on their way to church about 3 months ago. we've been talking on the phone a lot, but it's such a big thing it's hard to know what to say to him. i've known them since my early 20's & saw them probably 6 months ago, and they were these southern salt-of-the-earth people you really just don't see anymore. the driver that hit them had a heart attack, which caused him to lose control of his car. rob's step-father owned a welding business and they were extremely well off. their house is the only "mansion" i've ever stayed in. it practically looks like a museum. it's so old it has a slave quarters! rob was divorced a few years ago, and has a sister and step brothers & sisters, but it's taken such a toll on him he can't seem to work or do anything, at least at the moment. there's really nothing i can say to make him feel better, all i can do is be there & listen. he told me, if there's one comfort he won't have to worry about money for the rest of his life since there was a large estate. but he talked to his mother on the phone almost every day, and he's just in total grief. sometimes myself, i wake up and just can't believe it's real.
