@duglop We humans can be huge pains in the ass when we think we can dictate what other people do. When someone is vulnerable enough we CAN dictate what they do. That makes it worse.
@NorCalCherylLyn thank you, some days are harder than others - I'm not who I was when they both last saw me back then...
When mom died it devastated me
When dad died it changed me
yes, thank you.
and so was he🤬🤬🤬, so it's hard to avoid the anger, yes, it does flare up when i see how he behaves toward Vets and anyone brave enough to face him, call him out.
@duglop I so understand this! Say what you need to say now because you may never have another chance. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
@duglop But in mom's case, I spoke on the phone with her on a Sunday, and she passed in her sleep a few days later. My last in person visit with her had been a few months earlier. I was gobsmacked. So sudden. So unexpectedly. So far from me.
it's hard to have pity for someone who so relentlessly does his utmost to make us hate him.
but what he has renounced in his criminal career in business and politics is everything that makes someone worthy of respect, to sch an extent that shunning him is the only alternative left to anyone with even a modicum of self respect.
beyond sad. we are watching someone enter the gates of "abandon all hope who enters here."
@holon42 I was sworn to defend what he destroyed!
@brainwise I got to see my mother a few months before she passed from cancer, but she wasn't the same person by that time with the morphine drip... but never got to even say I miss you or I love you to my father before he suddenly passed from dementia
@duglop I get it. I was kind of able to ease into and prepare for my father's death. Even sat with him several hours after the machines were turned off, but he had been tubed for months, so I lost so much real conversation with him...
@poemblaze thank you Matt - as far as my father goes, my sister played a role in that by preventing me from even talking to him - 1 day I might forgive her for that, but I can't yet
@duglop Hugs. That's a difficult one. The fact you wanted reconciliation means it was there on your end. There was kindness coming from your direction.
@CherNohio you were distracted, but obviously for a reason, you didn't hurt yourself intentionally... it was an accident, hopefully it heals quickly - sorry that happened to you
Yes I am the thing that goes bump in the night!
PS: I'm a Dem/Lib - deal with it!
I'm a VET - respect that!
