My Grama's Soul

O.K......I admit it, I have started reading the obituaries in our daily paper.  I think people can be separated into two groups.....those that do.....and those that don't.  I'm a do....and actually enjoy doing this little task daily. I come across old friends I've lost track of over the years.  Old neighbors from long, long ago and many, many other interesting people. In fact, there are quite a few I really wish I would have known while they were alive. There was an article in today's Wall Street Journal about the writing of  "obits"..and how some people actually "TELL THE TRUTH" about the one's who have passed.  You know the one's....who are tightwads, selfish, quarrelsome, nasty....the list could go on forever.  However, in the majority of "obits" the loved one is KING OR QUEEN FOR A DAY and most of us leave it at that. I'm actually thinking of writing my own "obit" before I pass....that way...

Not many posts from here as of late.....it seems as though life just keeps on happening with its own series of events beyond our control.  My daughter, Shannon, has moved in with us after her brother's death.....she lived next door to him when he died.   It has been a little tough on all of us but especially her... With her being here we have finally caught up on all the neglected doctor visits and tests she should have had.  It seems that there could be a serious problem with her lungs...don't know yet...but will find out soon.   Today, as I'm sitting in the imaging office I began thinking of the WIZARD OF OZ....of all things.  It is one of my all time favorite movies....I loved all the characters and always thought I related to brave Dorothy.  However, with what has been going on with our lives recently I think I relate to the TIN MAN most of all.  All he wanted was a heart.....I've always had a heart....but didn't realize how ...

the death of my beautiful son....WILLIAM SCOTT KLEIN.  He had a huge heart and lived with a deadly disease.  He passed on January 9, 2015...he was 47. THE ANGELS ARE CRYING......... AND SO ARE WE............
