Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow

Wow, I didn't realize it's been almost 6 months since my last post. Life goes on and time speeds along. Grandma you have missed so much and we miss you so much.

Rhoda died last week. This has such big repercussions for all of us. I am trying to support my parents, who now mourn the loss of a very dear friend, neighbor and peer. I am trying to support my friend, Barbara, who is now an orphan and so very sad. I am trying to help others by securing a space for all of Rhoda's furnishings, a home where someone is in need. And I too am sad. Rhoda was such a nice person. Anyone who knows me well knows I don't use the word "nice" - I find it to be generic and thoughtless. But the online dictionary defines nice as, "amiably pleasant; kind" and that's what Rhoda was. She was uncomplicated and lived a simple life.

It was fitting on the drive home from the funeral I turned on the radio and listened to Fleetwood Mac's classic, "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow." Barbara and I recorded ourselves singing along to this catchy tune one summer night - we used a cassette recorder and all I can say is in our situation "two wrongs do not make a right." Our voices over the song and singers were hideous! I just had to laugh out loud recalling how silly we were. I hope she knows no matter how different we are, she is still a sister to me.
