• The Funeral And The Ashes

  August 3, 2013

  I don't know if I mentioned that I took my brother's Xbox 360 home.  It's been sitting in a backpack since we got home, so ... almost two months.  I haven't thought too much about setting it up and, when I do think about it, I worry that he still has time left on his...

• Stefan’s Sunset

  August 1, 2013

  Some time ago, one of my faves suffered the loss of her little cousin(i think).  During this time, she had a picture of her cousin's name hand written on a beach taken through Christian's Beach.  For miscarriages and babies, they do it for free.  But they have another site.  T...

• The Viewing Part 2

  July 13, 2013

  I'm going to go ahead and skip to the official visitation, but not in great detail. First of all ... they were late.  Because my mom had to get all primped up and waited until the last second to start getting ready. There were -so- many people there.  People that Stefan worked with.&nbs...

• Are you holding together even remotely alright?

  July 1, 2013

  One of my faves asked me that.  I hope she doesn't mind that I posted it since it came in a private note. Anyway, I'm really not.  I put on a happy face and I'm good at faking it.  But, like I told her, I'm just really fucking depressed.  When I have downti...

• Stefan’s Death

  June 16, 2013

  Last week was ... I don't even know what it was. Instead of taking part in my parents' vow renewal ceremony, we were at the lake spreading my brother's ashes. On June 7, I had just gotten Lily down for a nap and laid down for one myself.  The phone rang and I considered just l...
