So sorry! Some memories do hurt, as this must, too.
Still, you did have a good time with her just before you left, and that's really something to be happy about.
I am sorry for your loss. What a beautifully vivid image of a beautiful person in your life! Taking a "mind photograph" is something I have done before, too.
I've been banned from ladders too. In 2021 I fell off a ladder 11 steps down, broke both of my feet painting the trim on our house before we sold it. I made the move to Las Vegas with my feet in air casts and crutches.
I would outsource window washing at this point, the list may grow as I age.
Yes, I agree.
I've let go of many things, but only after bugging myself for a few minutes or so. Yes, letting go helps most of the time, within reason.
And I remember that case. That is something I can't wrap my mind around, though. That man must have been a saint.
I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
What are your feelings on daylight savings? Do you think it still has a purpose or is it time to end it?
Oh goodness this subject come up every few years or so. Here in the West of Australia we don’t have daylight savings any more after many trials.
Oh, the for and against arguments get quite heated. Faded curtains, confused cows and other off the chart ideas all have had an airing. The Eastern states still have to contend with it each year, leaving a three hour time differential between one side of the country and the other. I have always hated it. I’m always so pleased to see the sun go down as early as possible in the summer here. After days in the high thirty to forty degrees we need a few hours of darkness before bedtime.
I’m not aware of the time differences in the US and which states have daylight saving thrust upon them, or what the general consensus might be. Perhaps someone could enlighten me. Maybe some people think it’s great but it’s not for me.
