agt_spookyI wanted to thank all of you for words of sympathy and the hugs for the loss of my friend's father yesterday. It was a rough day, as I sat at my computer last night and cried as I tried to sign the guest book at the funeral home's website. How do you sum up someone's life and what they meant to you when you only have 250 words? It was nearly impossible.
Missy and her mother have decided not to hold any type of service, and on one hand I can understand, as they have family and friends in Illinois, Wisconsin, Arkansas and Florida. It would just be too difficult to arrange something that everyone could attend. On the other hand it makes me sad that I won't have a chance to say goodbye to Ron.
Both Ron and Marge were involved with a wildlife rehabilitation center in Arkansas, which Ron talked about quite a bit to me over Labor Day, and Missy is asking for donations to the center in her father's name, which I think is a wonderful thing.
Looking back, I think it was fate that I was able to go up to Wisconsin with Missy that weekend and see her parents after so many years. That even though I didn't know it, Ron's time was drawing short and I was given a chance to see him one more time. So thank you, to whatever higher power gave me those four days.

In an effort to take my mind off of things last night, before I went to bed I put in my favorite SPN season one DVD, with Home, Asylum, Scarecrow and Faith on it.
I started with Home, and wow, what an impact that scene with Mary and Sam makes now after seeing In the Beginning, with us finally understanding Mary's "I'm sorry" to her youngest son.
And just a random thought - but do you think Jenny and her kids continued to live in the old Winchester house? I mean, Missouri (miss her! want to see her again!!) told her once that the place was clean of spirits and it wasn't. I'm not sure I'd believe them after the second time! I think I'd be looking for different housing ASAP.
Oh, thanks for voting in my "Favorite episode of Season Four" poll yesterday, everyone. In the Beginning is only beating Lazarus Rising by one vote! It's a close one! :-)

Date: 2008-10-16 01:32 am (UTC)I was shocked at first, but I can only respect their decision, you know?
and ask them to take you to his resting place, so you can say goodbye.
You know, my friend at work said the exact same thing to me, and I think I'd like that very much. And I think Missy and her mom would be more than happy to take me, that I'd want to go, you know?
OMG, I should watch HOME again!
It makes SUCH an impact now, let me tell you.
At least now, I don't feel so much that Dean was kind of shorted by just getting that brief acknowledgement from her.
Yes! I do, too! It all makes sense now.
Besides which, if she put that house on the market, by the time someone bought it, she and her kids would know it was safe anyway.
She probably did stay. And I've watched that episode a million times and don't know why I thought about her leaving only now. :-)
