Wow, what a tough time all that has been for you! I'm glad you were able to complete your mom's ornament collection with that expensive little Eskimo. Every year at Christmas you'll get to remember her with that wonderful collection.
It sounds like things went well, and I know how much work is involved in putting a funeral together. And taking your care of your dad and taking him out was great of you guys. I'm kind of jealous of your husband though, it's been years since I've been to Europe. Milan is one of my favorite cities! The Blink 182 concert was a nice distraction from it all, that looks like it was fun! They have some great songs and the VIP upgrade was a nice perk!
Happy 50th Birthday, I remember mine, it's only been a couple years! I hope you are doing the best you can. It took me a long time to really recover, although you never really do... If there's anything I can do let me know!
I am jealous of my husband too. Last time I was in Europe was 2013. Maybe I can tag along on one of his trips one of these times.
I forget, did you lose your mom or dad or both?
It’s funny when I think about how my mom got to have her own mother until she was 77. I wish my nom could have stuck around for me to be 77. 😪
I've lost both already, both at 73 which was way too young. I would have liked a few more years with them as well...
73 for both. 😢 I am sooo sorry.
I had all of these visions that my parents Aunts and Uncles would live into their 90’s (since basically everyone in my grandparent’s generation got to be in their late 90’s before they passed. 70s…. Not enough time for them or us. 🫂
Seventy really isn't enough time... My grandfather died in his 80's, that's about as far as anyone has made it recently in the family. I have a sneaking suspicion I won't have a real long life either, mainly due to the covid vaccine side effects. What I've learned is to enjoy the here and now because it may be all we have!
