The Universe's Long, Boney Finger

I've been away for a long time because I've been fighting depression and trying my best to move on with things... but of course the universe has to play with me a little longer.

I found out yesterday morning that a close family friend of mine, Kim Vanderlann, committed suicide this past Friday. She was the mother of two kids I've spent a lot of time with and we were close. She leaves behind her children and her husband with whom she was separated with. I hadn't seen her for about a year and only saw her briefly at my father's funeral and talked with her for a few minutes a couple of weeks ago when I was with the kids.

So now the wake is Tuesday and the funeral Friday. My brain is in lock down mode officially. I tried hard with my father's passing to keep the turtle out of his shell, but this time I can't stop it. I don't want to talk about it.

So now I am taking another hiatus? I don't know. I'm very sad and when you're sad it is hard to write. And even when I do write it comes out to be more sadness. Why spread that?

We will see what mental state I'm in after these next few events and then I'll figure things out.

I need an extended vacation :-( can I book one of those?
