Sometimes finding words is hard.

I have spent several days of the last week at my grandma’s hospital bed as her health fails.  I think you learn a lot at the deathbed of a family’s matriarch, and I made a number of observations.  I’m still trying to process, and if I ever become the writer I would like to be and can put them into words, I’ll share. 

Being around extended family you’ve rarely seen and friends of your parents from their head-shop owning days, and watching the conduct of several days worth of ICU staff, also provides inspiration for lighter notes, and I’m more likely to be able to share situational levity sooner.  (For example, apparently: I am the image of my mother; many people think it is a compliment to tell you that you “look pretty good for having three kids,” and when it comes up that you have been to law school there is no venue off limits for people to share their employment law problems ad nauseam.)

Anyway, many thanks for reading this blog.  Stick around.  With any luck frequent posting will resume.
