hmmm... I see your point. It just seems so sad for her to end up in "Nothingland." Maybe I'm just too hung up on semantics.

Sam, she's all over, under, and through the Cellar fabric, so why not here too. It's not disrespect, it's inclusion. ;)

As I posted in the other Trilby/Brianna thread, all my alarm bells when off when she posted about drinking and taking tranquilizers and going to bed. VERY bad combo. I knew two other alcoholics who died that way - one of whom I felt terribly guilty about to this day. I went on a "12 Step" call to him with another alcoholic. We literally spent hours with that man, and he seemed OK when we finally left. He apparently over-dosed soon after our departure.

You can only do so much. If a person is determined to die - and poor Trilby must have been. She was very intelligent plus she was an RN for heaven's sake. She knew very well the dangers of drinking and taking tranquilizers at the same time.
.

I say accidental because she had counseled me closely about mixing but also admitted to doing the same.

I am trying so fucking hard not to go trolling through all her old posts. The cellar fabric just got a great big old burl mark.

I just heard tonight. I posted my condolences on the Trilby thread (still used to Brianna), but it's really beginning to upset me. Which is odd, because although I liked Brianna, we never had much one-on-one correspondence. Maybe it's her age, or circumstances, or the timing with deaths in my family but this is hitting me harder than I expect.

I mentioned the news to my wife, and she just informed me her aunt is dying of cancer.

This is shaping up to be one f****d up month. It's times like these I wish I did drink.

It is part of the warp and woof of life that people in our community, people we like or love die. Burl marks are a part of the deal. Us Cellar Dwellers will live better with the burl marks than without.

Someone posted on her guestbook at Routsong that she is taking care of her kitty.

:(

I was talking to a cow orker about taking off for the funeral. Apparently I am not the only one who has spoken about how we are never allowed to take time off so everyone has all this vacation time and end up using sick time.

What I'll probably do, if I'm still employed, is go to the funeral home after work. I'd like to be there for the service, though.

I'll see how my meeting this afternoon goes.

Just fuck. I can't concentrate on anything.

I posted this on her guestbook, and I thought I'd repsot here for those who didn't see the guest book.

I think Bri would have liked this poem.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Mary Frye (1932)

Very touching poem, Foot. Nice.

You know, it just hit me that Trilby/Bri was my Secret Santa this year. She sent me such cute, thoughtful things. That Elvis refridgerator magnet is going to be on every fridge I have where ever I may go. (S)HE lives!

Following your footfootfootsteps I repost here my contribution to here memorial at Routsong:

Do not cry because it's over,
Smile because it happened.

-- Dr Seuss.

I'll trade my tears for smiles any day.
