There's always something worse. But not at the time. A lot easier
standing outside looking in, than living it.
Yes. I'm all emotional tonight. I was having an IM conversation with a
coworker just now, and he closed with "goodnight moon" (he's a new dad).
I related that on Kevin's headstone is a carving of the bunny from that
book. I took a digital picture of a plush bunny that Kevin especially
loved and turned it into line art when we designed the headstone for
him and Peggy's sister who died some 20 years or so ago. Got me all
weepy
thinking about it. Parents should have to put a bunny on their kid's
headstone.
Sunday, Peggy and her mom went up to the cemetery to visit the graves
of their firstborn children on Mother's Day... Bittersweet hardly begins
to describe it.
The world can be mighty fucked up. Some people call it sin. Some people
just say it just "is", and try to mind their own "isness".
Goodnight Moon,
Dave
