Ironically, drinking buddy is spending the day at our house with his grand kids! We did a cookout and he brought various guns to shoot. I shot some too but am staying in the house while they go out back for more shooting.
It's been a real eye-opener to me...as was the cookout from last week...trying to put it together why my H would pick this fatherly type man for a best buddy.
I'll post more on my thread later this week.
I'm the kind of person who wears their feelings on their sleeve--cry at a stranger's sad story, give $ to a needy cause, root for any team I need to -- but when push comes to shove -- I do dig in and do the right thing! Thanks for the votes of confidence. I really needed it today as we leave for vacation tomorrow.
Then we shall see MIL. My IC said I can get through anything! Calm and centered shall be my mantra. It s/b an interesting three days and then I hope to be swinging in a hammock in the Florida keys!
If its any encouragement -- my H cut his hair even shorter and last evening shaved off the beard he had that mimicked his two drinking buddies.
I'm thinking that these things or people that MLCers depend on ... are weaned off slowly. Very slowly. And we just continue to be patient. And be there for this best friend that we love and cherish that has been through this terrible crisis.
Bust on!
