Thanks everyone. My wife appreciates all the cares and comments. Maybe I'll be able to convince her to come hang here with us rather than on Facebook with her mom.

If that's an attempt at humour, it failed miserably.

Wow, what a wicked thing for her to do to her own child.

This is a safe place to vent. I can only imagine how upsetting this must be for you both.

In response to "Bad times"

I hear you. Went through my own anniversaries of those lost last month and it knocked me out for two weeks straight before I could get my head around writing again.

Don't let guilt be one of the emotions. We feel what we feel. We remember, usually not when we'd like to, and often times, at the worst possible time.

I filled my time with memories- as many good ones as I could pack into my quiet time. I focused on watching the birds at the feeder outside my office window. Did the bare minimum at work. Tried to enjoy time with friends.

Eventually, it passed.

I've found that sometimes talking to them helps, even though they can't hear. Do the things that give you joy and peace, and most of all, forgive yourself for whatever wasn't done, wasn't said, or conversely, was. Let lavender winds ease your pain and remember, we're all here if you need us.

48 hr media prompt. 10/30/25

The 48-hour media prompt is the song from " The Nightmare Before Christmas."

This makes me feel conflicted. When I was growing up, Halloween was an absolutely no-go holiday. My father was born into a Jehovah's Witnesses family. They celebrated no holidays. He joined a nondenominational church with my mom, and he only grudgingly accepted Christmas and easter, but that was it. I was seventeen before I trick-or-treated the first time, and it wasn't as much fun as it would have been if I were younger.

I still worry about whether I am going to hell for carving a pumpkin or watching Halloween shows and movies like Nightmare Before Christmas.
