Very sad day

My profound condolences to you, Lil. While maybe too short his sounds like a life very well lived.

That is so terrible. I can't imagine how it it must be to lose a loved one. Be strong. My thoughts are with you.

I'm incredibly sorry to hear this. If you need anything let me know, even though I'm on the other side of the country.

And now, for something VERY rare: a Lil sighting. A self portrait, no less! I've never tried that before, and it worked on the first try. This is the better lit second try.

I was going through some old photos I didn't know existed, and I found some REALLY old photos of a much younger Dory. Here's a crappy iPhone shot of one. I'll be scanning the rest as I get time, and I'll share the better ones here. :)

I heard a song today that I liked, and I figure I'd share the lyrics:

Dolly Parton Hard Candy Christmas Lyrics
Songwriters: HALL, CAROL GRISHAM
Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
They'll all lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just

Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
Im barely getting through tomorrow
But still I wont let
Sorrow bring me way down

Ill be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
Im barely getting through tomorrow
But still I wont let
Sorrow get me way down

Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on

Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine
Me, I'll be just

Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
Im barely getting throung tomorrow
But still I wont let
Sorrow bring me way down

Ill be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
Im barely getting through tomorrow
But still I wont let
Sorrow bring me way down

Ill be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
Im barely getting through tomorrow
But still I wont let
Sorrow bring me way down

Cause I'll be fine
(Ill be fine)
Oh, I'll be fine

They said something on an old episode of Dr Who the other day that I really took to heart. "Some things are worth getting heartbroken for." I knew the first minute I met him that I wouldn't be able to keep Dory for long. Of course, we both expected ten years or so, not the short four that we got. But he was hurting inside, and I was lost and alone, and we needed each other. It wasn't until after we got married and we started to enjoy our time with each other that I saw him laugh, smile, and truly enjoy life again. He taught me how to LIVE and BE, and how to go out and take life by the horns and have a good time. Yes, it was worth it. Every second of it.
