It has been a difficult autumn here too, mostly without the pleasures I associate with the season. Though it's better than the one two years since, when the wife's leg was broken.
On my part, I was already laboring under a heavy load of self-inflicted foolishness this semester, and then a dear aunt passed away suddenly.
She would have fit in well here. She was a godly woman, and an excellent horsewoman. She and my uncle taught me to ride as a boy, and he taught me to shoot, though she could have as well. She also taught me about suffering with grace and a smile.
After a few drinks last night I wanted to shake my fist at the universe, but in truth I was very blessed to know her for so long.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear it, though glad it's better than two years ago. I would be happier if I were the only one here having it rough.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to complain. It's just been a lot of foolishness and nonsense. Nobody's sick, nobody's hurt, and that's the main thing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't take it that way.

Quite so. That you realize it so quickly shows class, and doubtless their influence.
