The Pearl Of Sorrow...
...is a wound that never fully heals,
For even if Odin's Raven were to tear it from your beating heart like a bug
and fly away with it,
There is still the empty gap in your breast that fills in with the scar
tissue of a love gone missing from your life.
The Universe is filled with galaxies of love and light fleeing a void.
Dark energy, indeed.

A Visit From Aunt Felicia...
Ok - I know it's close to Halloween, but that's got nothing to do with it, I think. I think she was just ready.
Last night, I was here at my desk working. I have a sort of "altar to my ancestors" at my desk. It's just black and white photo prints of most of my family, a lot of them deceased now.
Aunt Felicia is there at the lower left. I see all of them every night, it helps keep them close in my heart. Mom is there, my dad's father and mother, my mom's adoptive parents, and their parents. My paternal grandmother with her sister.
For some reason, Aunt Felicia's pic was really standing out at me last night. I had the strongest feeling that she was watching over us, especially Tiffiny & I.
The next morning, Tiff texted me that she had a dream about her Mom, that they were together and her Mom was young and beautiful with bright eyes and shining hair, and they were laughing together. Tiff said she felt like her Mom was happy and at peace. (That is the way I knew Aunt felicia - when she was young like in the picture)
Now, THAT is a good dream - and a very happy coincidence - if you don't think there's anything after. Personally, I'm sure Aunt Felicia is watching over us and happy, and let us know it.

Crantz In The Pants...
I remember back when we lived at Nono's house in Beloit, (1740 Yates Avenue) in the Summer of 1976. Aunt Felicia and Gramma Enid were staying with us. We would move to Madison that Autumn, and both of them with us, but not quite yet.
I was reading down in the basement, and the back door burst open with Aunt Felicia and my sister Lori helping a young man down the stairs who apparently was having trouble walking. It was one Tommy Crantz, still a family friend actually.
When I asked what happened, Tommy yelled out that "Your Aunt kicked me in the balls!!" I was all like, "What?? Why'd she do that?" Aunt Felicia advised that Tommy needed to learn how to keep his hands to himself, or in other words, he got too fresh with her.
After about 10 minutes, Tommy was starting to walk around again on his own. Aunt Felicia said "Well, at least you can still walk." and giggled a bit. Tommy turned around and said in all earnestness "Yeah, but can I still F#$% ???"
Lori and Aunt Felicia and I were rolling on the floor laughing our heads off. "Wasn't that what got you in trouble in the first place, Tommy?" I asked once I could stop laughing.
Moral of the story: DON'T MESS WITH AUNT FELICIA.
I still get a chuckle out of that memory when I think of it.

You Will Always Be Missed!
Aunt Felicia, I don't know if you're reading this over my shoulder, or Azure is singing it to you somewhere through the rainbow or above the clouds.
I sent Taboo to keep you company. She's sweet but also mischeivous, I think you'll like her.
I will do my best to share everything I can think of with Tiff.
We love you, and are grateful for the time you were with us. We all hope that the karma account is closed.
Rest, and we'll see you someday on the other side.

Be at Peace, Mom 4-4-13
My mom passed away today at 11:55 am. I wasn't able to make it in time to be with her. That wasn't God's plan, I guess. The hospice chaplain was praying with her when she passed. He told me it was the most peaceful passing he's seen in his 8 years of work...
