Lisa on Nostr: Once upon a time, maybe a Dec.about 19 or 20 years ago, my sister & her boyfriend ...
Once upon a time, maybe a Dec.about 19 or 20 years ago, my sister & her boyfriend decided they were going to come from CA to TN & stay with my boyfriend & I over Christmas. I was so excited. Since I had been in TN for several yrs at that point, we didn’t see each other as much. She had had a very hard year b/c she had been in a devastating car accident that previous spring. She had been recovering well for the most part. We had a wonderful visit & I have such great memories from that time. It was during this time that my boyfriend & I also became engaged by & my sister was going to be my maid of honor. They left for CA on Jan 2. That was the last time I saw her alive, because on Jan 26 she took her own life.
This time of year is hard for many people for a number of reasons. It’s a mix for me, b/c there are so many good things I think of as well. Things I don’t think of: the state of the world, it is what is. I won’t complain about who’s making more money or who’s getting the shitty end of the stick. I guess, all the snark I read in posts gets old. It seems like sarcasm around this time of year is at high levels. And for what, a chuckle, a boost or a favorite? I love reading those #3goodthings posts. I feel like those should be a requirement before posting something snarky.
