UNEXPECTED LOSS OF LIFE
In case any of you missed me yesterday I just couldn’t get to my blog writing. Our AC went out this past Friday and we called a service man. He looked it over, took it’s pulse and blood pressure….gave it an aspirin and promised to come back Saturday morning. When he ran the final test on Saturday to our dismay she died during the night. Dead at only 22-years of age, leaving an aging Coleman furnace to mourn her. Her mother and father were in shock….and went into deep depression. Funerals cost a lot of money, are always unexpected and always happen when you have spent money on some frivolous thing leaving you to face buyer’s remorse.
We were left to grieve in private until Monday morning. Our funeral arranger arrived about 9:00 am and had several plans for burial and the “hereafter.” After much soul searching we decided on a plan and are told we have everything in order for our “hereafter’s.” Completely committed and secure in our decision our new arrival is being put in place as I write and we look forward to a long and lasting relationship.
We were blessed with the coolest weather recorded in this area in July so we have not suffered in our loss. In fact, we feel blessed through the whole experience and we know that “all things happen for good”…….
All things considered, I feel it is inappropriate to write about our 1968 trip to the SouthWest until we have had proper time to digest all that has happened. When we have had another day to show our respects to the deceased I shall return tomorrow and begin anew. Your condolences are appreciated.
Until then,
Essentially Esther
