Phillies/Dodgers game one tonight. I tried to get tickets. Could only find standing room only for $180. Sorry, I'm not THAT big a fan. If it were game 3- maybe. Or World Series final, any game? Hell yes. My extra money right now goes to my own hockey dues.
How about this- Red Sox, Phillies. My honey's two faves. But he does love Manny too...

How about this- an 80 something year old widow said "it" in a way I totally get.
My sister's boss' wife died, suddenly. He was at a party recently, talking to Ms. 80-Something widow, lost her husband decades ago, who said to him, "It never gets Better. You just get Better at It."
WOW. She's hit the nail on the head. I totally agree, that's it exactly. And I know, I can't compare just shy of three years with a man I would have married in a heartbeat, I would have followed him anywhere without hesitation, I know that's nothing compared with these marriages of decades. And I've only been without him a year-not decades.
But THAT'S IT: "It never gets Better, but you get better at It."
Applause, applause, applause. Way to put into words what we've tried to explain.
Heck, I try to stay away from here, but keep getting drawn back. Tonight I seem to be on a rave, with what has become my bottom line. I know I'll upset people- but what the hell, sometimes the truth hurts. Here it is, again, like it or lump it- how dare any of us judge our lost ones for their final choice without knowing what they were going through? How dare any of us think that our pain at losing them is more valid, more important, than the pain they were trying to escape? What a terrible thing to do, to blame them for our pain in the wake of their agony. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH US. We can't possibly know how bad they felt to "leave", how can we be angry? I think of my Pumpkin every day. I adore him, I miss him, I wish him peace- and never ONCE have I been pissed off at him for his exit. Sad that he felt that bad, yes- but angry? No, baby. Be well, where ever you are.

You get a big high five from me. We as the living are so focused on how the person in our lives have left us suffering. Are you f in kiddin me??? You ask the question how dare they kill themselves and leave us here to deal with it?? How dare DO WE ASK THEM TO TRY AND STAY HERE AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SURVIVE WITH THE DEPRESSION AND ANXITEY THAT THEY GO THROUGH EACH AND EVERY MOMENT IN THEIR LIFE?? UNTIL I HAVE BEEN DARKEST MOMENTS WHERE MY SISTER HAS BEEN, THEN I HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE A COMMENT OF GOOD OR BAD...
TO ALL MY PEEPS THAT HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE TO SUICIDE...I RIGHT THERE WITH U????
