My Father's Eulogy
My Fatherās Eulogy
Iāve had multiple requests for the eulogy I gave for my Dadās service yesterday. Ā For those who could not attend, Iāll publish it here. Ā Thank you to all who called, texted, emailed, shot a fist in the air to give me strength, showed up, thought of us, smiled with pride, wept for our loss and your own. Ā You all rock. Ā To the CFD, there arenāt words. Ā We love you.

Existential Smackdown
By nature, Iām an inquisitive soul. Iāve always had questions like:
Am I a good mother?
Have I lived a noble life?
How many times a week should I poop?
I also have questions regarding the intent of man.
My father is in hospice right now. He is on his fifth bout of pneumonia in 51 weeks. We made the decision to take him off of the antibiotics and let him leave with as much comfort and dignity asā¦

Words Sometimes Fail
Conversations often donāt work with my Dad. His vocabulary which was once so vast and brilliant and colorful dwindles daily. He is sleeping on most of the days that I visit him and cannot be roused.
You know what works with him?
Sugar; in any and every form
This is the face of Alzheimerās. This is love. This is struggle. This is giving a bit of your peace of mind in order to see one smile.ā¦

If men get an opening day for hunting and football which is counted down in increments of weeks, day and hours until the days and hours until they can go bond with nature or other smelly boys, then at a minimum women should get an opening day at Nordstrom and Macyās sales. Ā This isnāt a question, itās a declarative statement. Ā Quid pro quo, Clarice. Ā Or Clarence. Ā Whatever.

Big Bed Criteria and Other Assorted SleepingĀ Arrangments
My grandson is getting bigger by the day.Ā Iām not sure who signed off on this growing up thing but i didnāt; not for him, not for his mother and certainly not for the stranger in the mirror. I sawĀ this stranger naked in the mirror the other day after a shower and when she lifted her arm to put antiperspirant on, the skin on her chest was crepe-y.

I See You
I think sometimes we feel unseen, unheard and therefore unworthy.
I had to pick up something for dinner today and as I stood in the checkout line I noticed two older people in front of me. I didnāt connect that they were together as I browsed the latest tabloid fodder with a sneer. While the cashier started ring up my order, the man grabbed at my items. āNo, no, noā, the lady insisted andā¦

I Took the Road Less Traveled
I think Iāve mentioned before that I started my family young. I was two at the time which really makes me a lousy authority figure for my offspring. She likens us to Gilmore Girls, who in truth, are infinitely cooler than weeee or sheeee or meeeee but weeeee.

Iām a Rebel.
A maniac
A loose cannon
A rogue
A rule breaker
I throw caution to the wind
I sneer in the face of convention
I buy two kinds of fruit that have a five minute window of ripeness before they rot completely and all youāre left with is a sweet smelling pile of mush.
In one day
A rebel I sayā¦.

Lately I feel like Iām being pulled in a million directions and with that juggling comes a fair amount of guilt for all the things I canāt get to.
I think as women, we tend to focus on the noās.Ā We couldnāt.Ā We didnāt.Ā We couldnāt get to it because we didnāt have time.Ā We didnāt get to it because we couldnāt add an extra 5 hours to the day.Ā We couldnātcount the number of things we did getā¦
