Yesterday was a good day. Brian had a one day drill and got to come home early. We ended up lounging around and had a few drinks around the fire pit.
I had to leave the comfort of my second home in "Denial" so back to "Reality".
Today was the installation of officers at the American Legion that Brian belongs to. They inducted him as the Sergeant at Arms. The difficult part was a couple of times during the ceremony, they did refer to Brian and his impending departure. During dinner, several people came up and wished him well and told him to be safe...rewind to the recollection that there are four documents in my bedroom that all prepare for the worst and give me the power to make all decisions for our family in his absence. One of the documents discusses "remains". *Sigh* I also have several "age appropriate" folders with "how to cope" materials. Strangely, nowhere do I see any document that tells me if I am or am not handling this in the correct or proper manner.
A little off subject, but I am realizing more and more as the time gets closer that the gap, hole, pit, crater, gully, etc. left by Samson's departure from this world is NOT being at all filled by our beloved Gus. I love the little guy but he doesn't have that same "old soul" quality like Samson did. I don't know what that means at this point, but I think that some fostering and a possible new addition may be in store. I really have to get this farm that I dream of.
