I know you're going through an awful lot, buddy, but I'm worried about you over here.

You okay??



Oh my dear Train, you are so sweet to ask about me. I'm okay. I'm up in New Jersey, with my entire extended family to say goodbye to and to bury my father-in-law on Thursday. Yesterday was a straight-thru 17 1/2 hour drive up and a 1:00am arrival. Today was spent picking out their burial plot, a headstone, and meeting with the funeral director to go over all of the arrangements for tomorrow and Friday.

My poor 93 year old mother-in-law is just lost. "He took my best friend!" she wailed last Wednesday when God finally took him home peacefully after 32 days in the hospital.

The family is leaning on each other, as it should be. I am grateful to be here to support the fetching Mrs. Starsky. She posted the sweetest thing to me about an hour ago on FB: "A real woman can do it all by herself; a real man won't let her," with a little shout out to me. :o)

In our pain, I am still s blessed man.

Starsky
