To mourn or not to mourn.

Yes,yes, yes.  I am back on WordPress.  Been gone so long.

Kate asked me today why her Dad and I mourned her loss when she was dying.  She said–What was I like before?”

Then she got out of the car and I spent my lunch time thinking about this and realized that I didn’t want to think about what I was mourning then; I wanted to enjoy the way she is now, the growth she is making now, whoever she is now.  I don’t want to think about what I was going to miss.  I want to think about what I can look forward to.

Kate is insightful, intelligent, self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing, delightful, confusing, and altogether unexpected.
