Bible quiz? Okay, that was a little surprising.

This is probably scary coming from a Buddhist, but:

You know the Bible 74%!

 

Wow! You are truly a student of the Bible! Some of the questions were difficult, but they didn't slow you down! You know the books, the characters, the events . . . Very impressive!

What?

Yeah, those "which book follows which" questions? No clue. Hooray random guessing.

wildernessguru's very sad, and filenotch has a point: I haven't been through losing a parent and have no way of knowing what he's going through. All I know is that for many people, their last word is "mom."

I'm now listening to John Sheppard skating music. Come on, Out Of Bounds, cheer me up....

All I can say is that life does continue, even after the most catastrophic loss. It doesn't feel as if it ought to go on -- it feels as if the whole world ought to stop in place -- but it goes on anyway, and you get carried along with it.

This means a great deal coming from you.

Six months is a short time to live, but it's a damned long time to die.

You're right. WG's mother told us after Christmas that "I feel like I've had a year-long funeral." People coming to see her, coming out of the woodwork, and each visit a reminder that "they're here because they know I'm going to die." The sad, longing, and compassionate looks on their faces. That's hard. And very depressing for her.

My husband's aunt had a wake before she died of cancer. It was great: many speeches and some tears and all the people she loved.

I just learned that they've requested no funeral, because it would just be too hard for WG's dad.

Thank god. Funeral's suck, and WG would spend the whole time worrying about what shoes to wear because he's really a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy.
