That’s what got to me today. Not what Father John was saying, but that she was right there only not quite. I can’t wrap my mind around that.

It is strange how someone can fit into a vase. A 185 pound woman who mothered three children (one of whom is my own mother) is no longer sitting on her wheelchair, but is now in a box. I wonder what day of the week she was put into the crematory. I wonder where I was and what I was doing when she stopped being a body and became ashes. I wonder why my brain can come up with such fucked up questions. I loved my Grammy. I still do and I always will. 

Like, it became legal EIGHT YEARS AGO! Why is this popping up now? TEMPLE BETH SHALOM WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

Edit: should we tell them that the Yankees kick our asses in the championships?

I grew up in Massachusetts and I’ve never seen members of the KKK, neo Nazis, or the Westboro Baptist Church. But today I saw a sign that said that two men cannot be spouses and I kind of choked because gay marriage has been legal in Massachusetts since 2004.

I told Adriana the news at 6 in the morning. By 2:30 she was at my doorstep with flowers. I am friends with some really wonderful people. 

I like to think that Grammy is now walking around having martinis with Grampy. It’s noontime somewhere.

Pull Strings- Sleeping In (October 17th) 

You were broken from the start, and you’ll stay broken for ages. I’d follow you into hell if I could. 

I haven’t woken up to a sunny day in far too long
