Friday it'll be 20yrs since I lost that guiding voice that helped talk me through hard decisions & weird situations, my sister.
20yrs since a huge part of my life was utterly & unquestionably changed.
I still & will likely always remember the last words she said just months prior to her passing...
"We have so much more to talk about."

:: with fathre's passing...

"What are you doing for the 4th?"

My 15th 'Father's Day' as a fathre... & 1st w/o my fathre - girls still asleep, at least I assume since I haven't gotten off the couch yet & they're not out here :D ...ANYways, last day of vaca, too !
amorous:
happy fathers day to you! hope you have a great day with your daughters! 🥰🤗
wolfox:
@amorous thank you - they're teens, so mostly ignoring me, but I've gotten in a few "drive-by" kisses :)

and welcome to my first full-day of this stay-at-home vacation :)
...it's gonna be an absolutely beautiful week in the 80s & 90s temp-wise (Helsyeh!)

no huge plans beyond getting eye exam/glasses at AB in BC monday & heading to UMN tuesday to get my youngest her passport for next year's *BIG* europe trip!

personally, I've been alright - every once-an-occasion reminder of fathre's death...

dreamage :: tour flight to [somewhere], get 'stuck' at airport w/ no proof, itinerary, etc because tour group picked it up already - days at airport holding until they get ahold of tour ("oh, yeah, we have their stuff & appears they didn't use any rooms"), but it's last day :(

I am the man who, if able, will be there
there to support, there to uphold, there to care
a friendly shoulder or shoulder to cry upon, in equal measure
years gone by, I did this often - and loved doing it, for my friends & their friends
harder now, with fewer old friends local, to be there

no, I may not have always understood...

it's saddening how offended people get now by the term 'colourblind' - they start gettin' all PO'd & ranting until I'm "DUDE, *I* should be the one PO'd, I ACTUALLY, quite literally *CAN'T* see colours, jackhole!" ...and even THEN sometimes you get 'whatever' *growls/sighs*

Nice t'have cool neighbours - just spent 4hrs w/ a neighbour & his bro-in-law bs'ing as they bbq'd, had a couple beers, & just enjoying a semi-decent day before it got too cool outside :)
