My precious Sprite. Reading this post was just was I needed to break the maudlin mood that was trying to overtake me. Today I attended the 2nd funeral this week. The first was for the elderly mother or a customer. She had been sick for some time and we all believe she has passed on to a better place. The one today was for a fellow firefighter that I had worked with and he retired a year after I did. A great number of my former co-worker were there and it was sad to see how old they have all become. Granted I hadn't seen many for them since I retired 18 years ago but it still was difficult seeing many of them old and infirm.
Logging on to my computer and reading such a wonderful post broke the ominous sense of foreboding and for that, and your presence of BYC I am grateful.
