I've been avoiding writing here because the news is bad. One more time. What a crappy spring. David Mear died 8 days ago...on Thursday. He was in Germany. We found out on Monday. It's just plain awful. I wish I knew what to do. I try to be available...give a hug here and there. To just be there...to hang around and play cards...trying to distract people. I've tried to distract myself with web projects. I correspond with people I only know via the words they write on the web and try to cheer them up 'cause they need cheering up. And, I can think about someone else's pain rather than mine. And, that of my second family. Because the Mear clan is my second family. When Mom and Dad were in Peru and I was in college, the Mears took me in as one of their own. I rarely spend a holiday anymore that isn't split half-and-half between both families. Their nieces and nephews are my nieces and nephews. I love that family. I ache for that family. It just plain sucks. Sigh...
