Friday, June 21, 2002 I'm not laboring under any sort of illusion that what I'm doing here has much importance, in the grand scheme of things. Helping y'all pass an idle moment at work is all fine and good, but I don't delude myself that I'm doing anything terribly vital. Like trying to raise two kids as a single parent, for example. If I drop off the 'Net today, the hole I leave will fill up pretty quickly. You can't say the same about a mom. Today in Iowa, there's a big, big hole where yesterday two kids had a mom. That mom was my wife's cousin. Today the family is in mourning, and in the next few days we'll be burying her. After that, things get less predictable. We don't know how long it'll take for this unusually close-knit extended family to heal, we don't know how long it'll take for her 8-year-old son to adjust, and we don't know when her 3½-year-old daughter is going to be able to understand that Mommy isn't coming back. Obviously I'm taking some time off from the blog, but I'll be back next week. In the meantime, do me a favor. Hug your kids. Hug your parents. Hug your cousins. And for God's sake, drive safely. posted by M. Giant 4:23 PM 0 comments 0 Comments:
