Whoops! Lost my mind dad...How could I be so remiss?

Okay, here’s the scoop, a couple of things....

1. My grandmother was not fourth cousin to Wallis Simpson, but third cousin, according to my father. She was my great grandmother’s great aunts daughter. Like, that is something I would know right?
   
2. Yes, my grandmother’s grandfather on her mother’s side of the family was Dutch. Extremely Dutch, in fact, like off the boat Dutch, they were very well to do according to my dad. My grandmother’s father’s father was born in a very Swiss region of France, and they too came from a very well to do family also. So essentially my grandma pooched us by marrying grandpa, however, I don’t care. I think he was a very cool, interesting character and I miss him very much and I named my son after him I missed him so much. I love you Grandpa, even though you were a turd sometimes.

Last night I was watching Rachel Maddow, and I found out Walter Cronkite died (by the way, I like Keith Olbermann better, and watch him faithfully every day. No offense Rachel, I just like his voice better) and I immediately said, “No! Not Walter Cronkite! Oh dang!” Of course, everyone passes away….But sometimes it seems like we are on a run of losing key people in our lives whether they be celebrities, family, or close friends.

Sometimes when those things happen you think everyone is leaving you alone to deal with this crazy world….

This morning I woke up missing my children and my friend and thinking about all of them.
