before the new year, my son, along with young onyx and his mother, my sister and i went out to have an authentic greek lunch. young onyx handed me a gift bag filled with stuff and one of them was this little figurine. i even thought it looked like onyx who is just 8 but without the big tummy! he had a little card for me on which he wrote "you're the best lola". that boy is just as sweet as little darren who, of course, is now a young man of 18.
still tired from yesterday's busy work day, i just lazed around the apartment after i watched the funeral service for my brother in illinois. i still don't know what to make of the little noises in the kitchen while i was watching, whilst back at my sister's she's been smelling of candles and flowers. my brother, my sister and i had an agreement at the beginning of the pandemic that if ever one of us would croak during this critical time, that we would understand if one cannot make it to the other's funeral. with all the stories i hear about people coming back from outside of canada getting very sick with the virus, i'm not quite inclined to travel by plane. still i can't believe i've lost a sibling already. my brother was just 71 but then again he had been on dialysis for almost 20 years, i am relieved for him.
Sad to lose family, even when their body is worn out and ready. I think those little noises from the kitchen just might be letting you know he’s comforted that you are there in spirit with him.
What a gorgeous figurine, Vikki! How did you ever get that soft, swirly, gauzy translucence around him? So ethereal!
Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your brother. Words cannot express the pain you must be feeling.
So sorry for your loss Vikki 💐
