To A Better Week
It can’t be any worse, ya!
Despite having done really nothing for my brother Yet. I feel certain I know what I am going to do. He will be cremated this week in Humble, Texas. I will pick his ashes up for spreading across a few places he liked. The train station in Teague, Texas. The Astrodome where he held season tickets to the NFL’s Oilers during the “Luv Ya Blue” era. The Brazos River because, if you don’t cross the Brazos you ain’t gone no where in Texas. And lastly, ashes over mother’s grave. I had a nice offer for a free gravesite. But putting him in it cost too much money. If his estate had the capability I would see it done. But when you leave nothing you cannot demand more. Sorry bro. We’ll still take one long last drive. Your ashes and me.
There is a lesson to what transpired. No one likes to talk about death. But you have to be objective and make sure the ones you leave behind know what would please you. And make sure you leave a way for those people to find your plan and the funds to make it happen.
Do not hope or expect anyone to grieve with you. Just hope you can do enough to satisfy yourself. I hit a wall on Friday and splattered like Wiley E. Coyote. But I am back up now and ready to go. Thanks to all of you for dropping by. You’re support was wonderful. As for the tally ribbons. You know if you earned em or not.

Hey, sorry to hear the passing in the family. I think life is short event if it is 80 years. Important think is to love and be loved, having experience that there are no comparison.

Hey! Things are looking up! Good for ya. You’ve braved the storm and come out tops!
Do you know ppl here use only PO boxes?? There is no proper postal system!! Can’t receive any mail at my flat. A typical address would go something like this.. AD Building, near DHL Tower, Abu Dhabi Street …!! Must be remnants of the system used during desert living..
You can send mail to my kay el address.

good to know tat u r staying positive… keep it up! And you are so right about this ‘But you have to be objective and make sure the ones you leave behind know what would please you. And make sure you leave a way for those people to find your plan and the funds to make it happen.’

Sorry for your lost.
I always talked about death. I have spoken to my family, that I would prefer whatever wealth I would leave behind (if there is any), to be used for the living, instead of the dead. So, a simple cremation is more than enough for me.
by then, I would be headnig toward my Savior’s home and need not a decaying body.
:)
maybe it’s a taboo to many, but not me. :p

Hey Bro,
If you need company to Teague or the Brazos, I’m willing.

Beep! Beep! Blue ribbon hugs May. Thank you for being you.
Beep! Beep! Red ribbon hugs for you ZM. Yeh. Staying negative will only rob me of my joy. And my bro would not want me to miserable.
Thanks Alisa. The week has to be better.
White ribbon hugs for you.
Your hugs make it a better week already Angel.
Hope you had a good time in KL, Chen. Thanks for the hugs. Here’s one for you.
Hoo boy L B. I’m a blur now. hehe
Agree with you 100% JoeC. Whether we live to be 6 or 60. It is empty if we never experience love.
Thanks Kat. Though I was ready to post it to the third sand dune by the 12 meter palm tree.

Much better Kenny. Ready to rock again. Oh BTW my brother loved the Who, so a good choice for your rocker of the week.
Will do Wuching.
I think that is beautiful Cara. And so true. The thunder is long gone. Up to me to stay calm and objective now. Hugs!
Thanks Pinkie. Appreciate that. Hugs!
I think you have a very healthy point of view laymank. Part of this holiday will be spent planning for this contengcy called death. Don’t want my wife or kids to be burdened more than a healthy amount of grieving.
Thank you for the hugs Kimananda. I’m am feeling so much better.
Thank you PY. I am looking forward to a super week.

ah SA, I am glad things are brighter for you. I will be in Houston on friday. I am only staying there 1 day. My aunt lives in Pecan Grove so we will be staying with her overnight. Please ask your weather gods to make our trip pleasant.
I am going to grab some Berry Hill Tamales to bring home for Christmas. Yes!
*great big hugs*
December 18th, 2006 at 11:03 pm
That sounds like like a good grab Daphnewood. I think Pecan Grove is in my neck of the woods actually. That’s Richmond-Rosenberg right?
I look forward to Friday as I’ll have some friends coming in. Come on Christmas.
