Relatives
My mother died at 1925 hrs, 02/03/2009. She was a wonderful woman, very beautiful when I was young, who lived a very full and exciting life. She was comatose for a week before she died. She'd said, in the past, "no heroic measures." When it became clear there was no chance of her recovering in anything beyond a vegetative state - we had the doctor remove the respirator, and she died two and a half hours later.
The funeral is on Friday. I don't know how I'm going to get through this week. Not because of my mother's death - that has been expected for a while - and was actually a blessing as life had become a burden for her - but because of my relatives. I've had to spend the last few days with them, and if I could think of some way not to have to go to the funeral - and not see any of them in the interim - I'd surely act on it.
Please don't leave any condolences. Just give me a good reason not to show up at the funeral with a 12 gauge and make the world a better place.
