Condolences P3. Death of a father, is hard. Harder now,

i Hope that you will hear from friends and family , those who would have attended and hugged you in person. To remember the good stories
 
Thanks @Lastpointe

The hardest thing about having a funeral during Covid times is not being able to hold the gathering afterwards.

It was a very different service, too, but there is blessing to be found there.
 
aaah, @paradox3 , sorry to read of the passing of your Dad. Funerals and the rhythm of a death, even when expected, is so different under pandemic.
Hoping that you have time to be and to be supported.
 
Sorry to hear your news P3. I can offer a cyber hug - and hope others offer what they can. I have experienced the deaths of loved ones both ways. I don't think losing someone suddenly or slowly is what causes the grief. It is the hole that is left in the fabric of our being that is hard to adjust to. Some of that damage is sometimes patched a wee bit by the memories and hugs of others. I can only imagine how hard this is for you during Covid time.
 
Sorry P3 I imagine it must be harder without the visits, sometimes phone calls aren't a great substitute When Chemguy's mom died and my dad dropped off food our Dads ended up playing crib for a while. I hope you can get those types of connections in other ways..
 
Cyberhugs, P3. He'll always be with you. My Dad died 22 years ago, and I still think in passing "must share that with Dad", "must ask Dad that".
 
Thank you for sharing your sad news with us P3. I do agree, it must be strange to just have a graveside service & then go home - no reception time with family, friends, neighbours & colleagues to share all those stories and hugs and tears with. Am thinking of you on this crisp sunny day.

Agreed. It was my pastoral friend Barb who decided my Mom's reception must have the bone china tea cups, and that sort of "fitting memorial" is missing with no reception.

And likewise - I've been to wonderful post-funeral receptions held in the neighbourhood bar ... depends on the individual being honoured I suppose and where their circle centres.
 
As an aside - I was out today for a great 2 hour bird walk - but the the first bit of wild-life we saw was Rusty the cat perched high in a tree!

We did find the snowy owl we went looking for - and a coyote (well camouflaged) grooming in the sunshine, as well as some new-to-me ducks (gadwall, black duck, greater scaup)

It was so nice to get out for a girl's day today. My neighbour and I went to the laundromat first. Yes, that counts as fun some days. :) We were able to stay inside and met a cool man who lives in the same park as we do. L and I went for lunch after that and then to a couple quilt stores. I'm so thankful those places are open with restrictions. They all felt safe.
 
I cut another tree down on the neighbour's lot ... an event given my lesser condition than those great folks designated to do nothing! This is due to elevated mental positions ... there are allegories ... resembling myths the higher up's state! I stand on myths as deeper ...
 
Good morning, all! Let us pause from hikes and felling of trees to gather round the coffee cart. Join the conversation, have a doughnut orbagel or whatever, and enjoy the company.

Good morning all! I picked up a book from the library today (Learning to Walk in the Dark by Barbara Brown Taylor) - the contactless pick up method is interesting. Also - there was a new bird at my backyard feeder today - I've not yet been able to identify it - so I hope it comes back with the lunch flock - I want to take a better photo. Takes so little to entertain me these days!

Yes @Carolla ! there are deep states ... where thoughts are drawn ... druid? Judas extractions may relate to La Ba Nun?

And we all are in it ... the profound myth ... tis a dark hole that generally is unseen ... thus the great mystery! God it creeps up ... like a conspiracy or plan ... still unseen? The mob can't see that it is obvious ... that's fore shore ... ferry Maan? That's something else again ... approach carefully ... carry a torch ... an ancient idea whereas some will try and put out what wee levity we have ... makes eM insecure ...

How many of the declared determinates are really insecure?
