RE: Am I mean or what?
.....my wife's parents were hit in an intersection 6 blocks from there home in Tacoma. a drunk ran the light at high speed, hitting them broadside......they died on the spot.
My aunt and her family were in a line of traffic outside of Canon City, Colorado, when a drunk crossed over the centerline, hitting them head on. My aunt, uncle, and cousin were killed instantly.
I was 1/2 block from the police station, going into an intersection when a drunk ran the light at high speed in his 3/4 ton pickup, taking the front end off my marked unit, including the engine. Luckily, I had a ride around with me who was able to see the guy coming, allowing me to hit the brake just enough to keep from being t-boned in my door. That might have hurt. As it was, neither of us got a scratch.
I have little sympathy for those who drive under the influence.......

RE: question for the people of age.
.....life is hard, grief and sorrow can be profound. Perhaps a way of assuaging these pains is to find some way of rendering solace, of lending a hand, of comforting others. Most of us have some wisdom, some insight, some ability that another person might need. Volunteering, counseling, helping, lending and ear to someone else in need is one way of contributing back to humanity. Age brings a value we don't always see, or think about. Replacing a loved one is impossible.....but serving a higher cause can ease the pain, bring new value to one's life. One can serve in the memory of those gone, honoring them by rededicating one's life to good deeds, to caring, to being a person we would have others be...........
RE: question for the people of age.
.........many relationships wane when a partner is lost. Perhaps because the passed partner was more responsible for the maintenance of many relationships, for the continuing contact of friends and relatives. Sometimes in our grief, one withdraws, leaving responsibility for continued contact with others. Our daily lives are full of things that must be done, people who must be dealt with, jobs, chores, and the constant barrage that life delivers to us, especially in these current times. Barriers are furthered when one of the people is retired and the other is still in that 9 to 5 life.
Continued relationships require the attention of all involved, whether in grief, from a distance, next door, or kin. As humans, very often our intentions are good, but life gets in the way creating little hurdles, slight inconveniences, that make what we do different than what we intend to do, than what we should do. If there are people one misses....contact them. Sometimes doors only seem closed from one's perspective, they only need a slight nudge to be opened. That nudge can be effected from either side.
Please remember, we all handle events differently, some are uncertain in sad, stressful, or uncertain situations. I wish you well, I wish you peace, and I wish you strength.......as do all your friends and the people who know you.........
