Death and birth(day)

I am back. I am. It was my brother in law's (the Wife's brother) birthday on Friday. He was over along with his lady friend and the Wife's aunt and uncle for dinner on Friday. I was one happy camper listening the nattering that went on around me, I can tell you. There is something about Thornhill that either creates or draws in people who have nothing better to do than talk of other people. It is like the home of bad gossip, it is bad in the sense that I could not care less about the people being talked about. It also makes me wonder how one can speak of others without taking a look at themselves. Of course, that requires a measure of self knowledge and introspection, which is in short supply there, Thornhill, obviously.

It is the Wife's birthday tomorrow. I was of getting her the ultimate birthday gift....raising her mother from the dead. I would try that with FIL, but I think it would be easier to bring MIL back. She has not been gone as long, though the blood stopped coursing through her veins. Man, I am one sick puppy. As long as the Wife does not read this, all is well. Otherwise, well I am just fucking insensitive.

I am, but I am equal with this shit. I was the one who wanted to tell the Sheriff to dig up my father because he did not respond to his Notice for Jury Duty due to his being dead and buried. So, I find the humor in my own, so there.

Now, I wonder when, notice it is not if, I bring MIL back, if she will smell. I am thinking it cannot be any worse than FIL's old man stink. Then again, I could be wrong.

I notice that the Lad is not asking if his grandmother's hair has fallen out yet. He kept asking that about my Aunt Rita when she died 2 years ago.

I think that would be the best gift I could give her....some more time with her mother. Sadly, I cannot do that physically and she is not capable of really going there spiritually, so we are at where we are at.

On that happy note, I wish the Wife a very happy birthday and wish this year is much better for her than her last year.

Ciao!
