Any way the wind blows

Still hanging in there. The hospital staff is doing all they can for 'comfort care', but it's just slow going. Listening to someone breathe so rough and uneven, I dunno, don't want to go into detail, but it's unsettling and we all just want to see her finally rest and not struggle. Going back tomorrow, same thing as ever. No emptier feeling and more echoing a place than a hospital's parking garage at 11 at night, though.

Didn't have to take Bebop-cat to the vet yet. He's perked up quite a bit, is eating some. Not perfect, but better. Will see how he is tomorrow morning, but am thinking he maybe just had a cat cold/bug or something.

Station changed into the start of Bohemian Rhapsody while driving home. Did I sing along? Bet your ass I did. Just...just because, you know?

I will have to say...I can't remember the last time I spent so much time around my immediate family (other than Mom). And the last time I spent so much time around extended family...has been never, I think. It kind of has been making me think about what it takes to truly bring you together.

I think that's just an unwritten rule of life. :D

It really is! I think if I hadn't been dealing with so much at the time, I would have even been doing the headbang thing like in that one Wayne's World scene. ^^; There's just something about that song. ♥

I'm so sorry, bb. *huggles* I wish there was something I could do!

*hugsback* Thanks, hon. Just the thoughts helped, even when things went from so low to that odd sort of up. I appreciate the hug so much ♥

I definitely am going to make sure to do what I can to. It's definitely been a sort of lesson, and I'm taking it to heart. Even just a couple lines of email, or a dumb card--and not just to my aunt as she recovers and deals with everything, but my cousins and such.

Music can be the best therapy ever. It can help us get express emotions or just help with whatever energy we need to get out at that moment. I lost a neice several years ago. As I was leaving my sister's house after hours of crying with her I got in my car, turned on the radio and at that exact moment "Here Comes The Sun" by the Beatles started. I took that moment as a blessing from the universe. Sing out loud sister!!

Peace to you and your family.

Such truth regarding music. I definitely, definitely agree, and have had it be that way for me so often during my life. And it can be so intense, the emotional release and healing it can bring about, like what you describe. *hugs* Thanks ♥
