La mes de los muertos
This last 30 or so days has been a bit morbid for me. First Adam's mum passes suddenly. Then a friend, and great guy, Herb Dade passes after a short illness (as a result of being HIV positive for many years..). Then my sister-in-laws father passes - although that was in a way a relief as he had severe demetia for years and was all but dead to his family, now they have some closure and can begin the grieving process.
March is a month with two large milestones - the anniversary of Cormac and my fathers anniversary, which is today.
My mind has been full of thoughts and morbid dread, regret, sadness and a small amount of panic at the future and my own mortality. This melange of thoughts combined with the pressure of servicing a mortgage has in some weird way helped to keep me fairly focussed these last few weeks.
I would prefer to be focussed without all the drama however...

Thought of Jim too, and of course Cormac. Every funeral we attend further drives home a sense of mortality - you're not alone on that front Mark. We just have to max-out on good times while we're here and FTB!
