You, you and YOU!

To all of you, the lurkers and the frequent commentors and everyone in between, Thank You! I'm home safe and sound AND I have a job (I think). I'll be posting more tomorrow, but for now please know that all the virtual hugs are appreciated. Two "real life" friends contacted me just to be fabulous friends, another friend or two wished me well before the trip. One person in particular didn't contact me at all. She knew what I was doing and when, but didn't say a word. My feelings are a bit hurt by this, because even if you're busy with life, it only takes a second to call/text/email and give support. Stupid fucking people. *sigh*(If you're reading this blog-it's not you I'm bitching about I promise)

On a good note, burying my father was wonderful. Teary, weepy and so good for the soul. After holding on to his ashes for the last year and a half, it was time to honor his request to be buried in Colorado. I feel closure and healed and like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My dad is buried in a beautiful cemetery with a babbling stream and ponds filled with frogs and cattails and a huge fish. We walked around and took lots of pictures and I just felt at peace about everything, finally.

Near the cemetery is a train depot, with active trains going in and out of town. My dad LOVED trains, so this was just the icing on the cake for me. It is good knowing that his ashes are resting in such a perfect place for him.

Over the next week I'll be posting pictures both past and present. I learned things over the long weekend that I want to share.
