Loose Ends
You could say the last two years in my life have been all about loose ends. My failed marriage was a huge loose end that needed tying off and I have. Career path was an issue and I think that I have resolved that in the fact that I do not need to resolve it. And finally, the family life.
When my mother passed last April it was relief to be honest. She had Parkinson Disease and she was not fairing well, so her death was a mercy and welcome. There was nothing we could do for her but make her comfortable and put up with her crotchety ways. So it was a good thing when she passed.
They say that if a spouse lives a year after one of the pair dies that they will live a long time. Well, my father passed yesterday, less than a year after my mother. He and I never really got along, he would spend more time in his precious garage working half baked wood projects than spending time with his children. He was not able to communicate very well, and was all in all the very model of a curmudgeon. Now he is gone, and one less thing I have to worry about.
Does that sound cruel? He was after all my father, I should feel something more, but I really don’t. In my life my father was my grandfather. When he passed I was devastated and to this day I remember him with fondness and love. So, if you think about it, I lost my father in 1986. My father was just a miserable person and now he is gone. One more loose end tied up in my life. Thanks dad.
There are several other loose ends that I know of, but they will work themselves out as they always do. Time is a wonderful thing.
