I'm still (is "still" the right word?) deeply saddened over Dad's death. I think one problem with today's society is that one is given a short period to mourn and then you've got to merge right back into traffic again. I want more time to remember and reflect. I think those cultures where you take 30 days to mourn have the right idea. By the end of 30 days you're probably pretty much sick of the whole mourning thing and are actually ready to get back into the swing of things.
On the gesture front, my book club did a very nice thing. They got me an elegant sympathy card and a very cute little wind up bug to cheer me up. It is so deeply touching to have friends that truly care and are concerned.
