You know what is really enough to start you thinking about the meaning of life, why we're here, how much time we have, etc...?? Hearing about a friend who is literally planning her own funeral.
Jody has asked Cantor and ex Zamir member Scott Sokol to officiate (where I'm not sure), and is discussing what Zamir will sing, who will speak, etc. Scott met with her and says she seems ok but is on a lot of pain meds. She is also having acupuncture and doing some sort of herbal therapy.. for pain, not for some miracle cure. It's over for her and she knows it... that must be the worst thing. But in a way, everyone says that this is just "Jody being Jody" - as in, please write down all the nice things you'll be saying about me at my funeral and I'll review it and send you my comments. I hate to say it, but I think people are having a hard time with this one. We will all miss her of course, but Jody could be difficult to deal with sometimes..
With my friend Judy it was very different. Everyone said that she was in denial. I think that because she had three children (and an absent husband), she needed to keep up the front that everything was ok for the kids.
I had to move my car out of the lot at 8 AM this morning, so I went to breakfast by myself, then found a space down the street. I was hoping most people had gone to work by then, but the street is pretty crowded.
I am going to do a second load of laundry and do whatever other cleaning I can do.
