Sorry to hear muddy. Hope things get better before they get worse.
I have not worked out how to talk to him, my brother. It's weird. I don't feel like I have to be careful with him - like I could just ask if he is having any deep thoughts about life, death, the universe, time, space etc. etc. - because I am genuinely interested - and once upon a time we talked freely about everything, but I can't quite bring myself to do it. Not so far. I keep hoping he will start it, but not so far.
I also sort of want to talk about his sports teams which are doing extremely well right now - Habs and Cowboys - but then there is some doubt he will even see the ends of the current seasons. So are those bad topics?

The guy in the next bed wandered by yesterday and looked in at us and said, "Hey is that one of those Coleman camping fuel things?'
I looked around the clutter to try and guess what he was talking about. I will take it as being to my credit that I guessed right. "This?" I said.
It was a black shiny plastic vessel - sort of puck shaped - but I could imagine it seeming, at first glance, to be maybe metallic and like maybe it was a Sterno type of thing.
"Yeah."
"No, it is a bowl of cream of wheat."
"Oh."
how much time are you spending over there?
I'm going to a wake today for a friend's father who just passed. I think of it as paying respect, maybe share a story or two.All that stuff is for the survivors anyway. If they fell a need to make a big showing that's ok but that's just making themselves feel better imo. I'd appreciate a tombstone a grave site. That's respect. someone can come lay flowers once in a while and say "yep".
I recently drove somebody's ashes to Denver from Vegas. What a farce. What happens when you get old you're supposed to live with everybody's ashes? My friends father got cremated, he has a yarn, no place to visit. He's not even sure why this happened. Also, in Russia gravesite s are elaborate with fencing and benches to sit. Relatives sometimes sit there for hours.![]()
