Yesterday I had to drive to my home town to make a delivery to a friend. I decided to put in my Statler Bros. CD. I am sure most people my age (and certainly younger) don't even know who they are, but I grew up listening to them non stop in my dad's car. The song "Bed of Roses" came on and I couldn't help but smile at the memories. And then I began to cry. I miss that man so much, and I know that isn't going to change. I also realized yesterday was the 14th of the month and my father passed away on November 14th, and the fact that it is the fall also brings back those memories.
It also doesn't help that my great-aunt is expected to pass away at any minute. Actually, we weren't sure she would make it through last week, and then they were pretty sure she wouldn't make it through Monday night. She's still here though, but I am praying for a peaceful passing and comfort for her daughters and grandchildren. My heart breaks for my grandmother. She has outlived her parents, husband, brother, and even her son. When Aunt Margie passes her only immediate relative will be my aunt, and then my sister and me. My grandmother is in fabulous shape for an 84-year-old woman, and I have every reason to believe she will be around for many years to come. At the same time, it's all making me pretty emotional right now.
