Comment on Dreaming but still awake by brelle

Just wanted you to know that I think of you all often. Whenever I hear something silly about Oklahoma, I think of Craig and what his reaction would have been and miss him greatly.
I hope the nightmare of waking up starts to ease with time.

Crap! Wouldn’t you know it nothing goes as planned these days. Joan let us know and we want you (Diane) to let Jim know we are thinking of him. And tell him to relax, his students will be fine. Let us know how he progresses.

Comment on Mary in the Past Tense by thegreatlizby

“[I]t feels as though patience for grieving has a two-week window and then the expectation to don the body-glove of normalcy begins.” Thanks for writing this - so true. Personally, I find that I am only ready to “grieve” after significant time has passed. I seem to spend an unusual (from what the masses seem to feel) amount of time in the numb phase, going through the motions of my usual business, and only much later does that mantle of frozen numbness thaw out and I really find myself grieving in raw form. By then, most other people seem to have moved on. I don’t know how they do it.

No kidding. I hate 2008. Feeling fine in 2009 (said with a few tears and some nervous laughter). Lord we’re due. This is our time, our time. Looks like a … pirate ship. Aw, I’m bored.

Comment on To move on a feeling by osmun

Hi Erin
Thanks for sharing your feelings. While I can’t truly walk in your shoes, please know that I am with you , in heart, and that I think of you every day, along with your mom and Craig. I’m glad you are back at work but can also recognize how difficult and “different” you like must be, now. I hope you and Scott will see eachother from time to time to keep the family connection and I am secretly hoping that Jill ends up in DC as well. Lots of love to you, Erin. Let us know when you are headed to Stillwater for Christmas.
Love,
Aunt Joan

Comment on To the gypsy that remains by erin

I always thought she said witch, too. Turns out it’s wish. Who knew. Annunciate, Stevie…annunciate.

And, Diane, “she was only eighteen” is a far cry from “she was only a wish”. Q-tips, sweetheart.

Dude…..are those really the lyrics??!! Prancing? Witch? Why come I thought she was saying “eighteen.” What a weirdo. Just killed it for me. My favorite was the bathroom rendition of phantom of the opera. Nothing is more fun than screeching that high note and having it scream back at you in that tiny space. You go high Jilly….I’ll go low
