Almost over
Normally I express this comment near the end of the semester. This time, I'm doing it for the holidays. This has been a really crappy holiday season and I'll be happy when it's all over.
There's a long time superstition that "deaths come in three's." I'm not very superstitious but that thought had been going through my head especially after George and Grandma's deaths. Well, the saying now holds true this time. I found out recently that my friend Lynn's father passed away. He was such a sweet man. He was 98 years old, been married for 51 years, and was a Holocaust survivor. Last week, he had been admitted to the hospital and while he was there, the nurse forgot to raise the sidebar of the bed and he fell out, breaking his hip in the process. Because he couldn't sit up, he developed pneumonia and passed away Christmas Eve. I liked the man very much and I will miss him.
Considering all that has been going on, I'm holding up ok. I'm tired but my depression hasn't really knocked me out. Christmas day was the only day that I was really sad, but that has been a trend for a number of years now. The holidays aren't a very happy time for me.
