We buried my grandmother today. She was almost 91 years old and survived three of her children and most of her friends. It was good to see a bunch of my family members again, who seem to be getting better at keeping things civil for an hour or two. Lots of them I only get to see during funerals, which I’m fine with, as it may contribute to their civility. No fights, no police, just tears and laughter.
Jacket
I have had the same winter jacket for more than 10 years now. I love this jacket, and with the exception of having the zipper replaced a couple of years ago, it has held up very well. Unfortunately, I think this might be the last season I’m going to be wearing it. It’s starting to look a little ratty here and there. I’m not particularly happy with it, but I think it is time.
The Town
“I need your help. I can’t tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we’re going to hurt some people.”
“…Whose car are we gonna take?”
Dear Brother
This is 90 seconds long, and upon the first viewing nearly drove me to tears.
