fall shawl
October 7, 2013
i am so. behind.
in the past two weeks or so,
i’ve been fighting off some kind of plague
and been dealing with the death of my grandpa.
it’s been one of those times when one is reminded
that being an adult fucking sucks.
(it also means there might be some big life changes in my future)
but for right now,
i have a lot of catching up to do.
so of course i’ve cast on a boneyard.
i never get bored of a plain triangular shawl.
i imagine it’s what sock knitting is like for sock knitters.
and so i’ll sit here a while longer,
ignoring the pile of work in the other room,
trying to remember what it felt like before i had responsibilities.
those were the days.
*t-10 days to rhinebeck.

Sorry for your loss, being an adult does suck and I do love the picture, something you can never replace.
From a grandmother and the grandfather who she is married to, out grandchildren are the most important people in out lives and we are enriched by having our grandchildren. XOXOXO

So sorry for your loss, honey. Being an adult does suck at times but it has it’s upside. Like alcohol.

I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather. My grandmother passed away early this summer; it is rough. My condolences.

You have my sympathies on the death of your granddad. It doesn’t matter how old you are when you lose a grandparent. It still sucks. (This is based on experience. I lost two as a tweener, and one in my 40’s. Each time was a punch to the gut.)
PS: I have that same photo frame. Mine holds a photo of a long-time friend, looking bewildered because he thought he’d lost me in the crowd at Trafalgar Square.
