I’m spending some quality time with my family today, so this will be my shortest post of the Blogathon, possibly even shorter than the one I made on my maintenance page [intlink id="2467" type="post"]when I broke my site[/intlink].
I’m nearing the one year anniversary of my mother’s death after a tough battle with cancer, so the photos of Dennis Hopper from his final public appearance are breaking my heart right now, as well as the fact that he spent his last days in a bitter divorce.
Please, do as I’m doing—step away from the computer and connect with others in the flesh today. Our time here is short. Back to my silly, tongue-in-cheek self tomorrow.
Thoughts and love going out to you and your family today.
Condolences to you on the loss of your mom. I’ve never lost anyone close to me where it seemed too soon — my grandmother was in her late 90s, my dog was 17+, so I don’t know the pain of that loss. But I know it can turn off the cheek and snark in anyone. And I’d happily connect with my people today except they both have a tummy bug and I’m not going within 20 feet of them. I’ll connect with them when they aren’t toxic. Will that do?
