This Past Weekend

[mlerules]

Was gonna post a bunch 'bout the past CopperMoonies long weekend at Neah Bay and give kudos to the Vorpal Bunnies (vismaya_viewer, nascar24_48 and LJ-free J) for leaving CopperMoon even nicer than we left it for them - you folks ROCK! 'Twas really lovely out at Hobuck's and we ate well (as usual ;-) Nasty coughs and mega-lung-butter generation kept me and lightfoote fairly quiet and indoors mostly, although I did see a couple of shootings stars on the beach walk we took the evening we arrived and we managed to walk out the surf's edge on Saturday. Luckily the view from the cabin kicked serious butt so we could laze about and still enjoy it. wildwoosi and when he arrived, rev_sysyphus, got out and about a fair amount though. They even got to watch the sunset from the Cape Flattery lookout, the NW-most point of the continental U.S. Pics to come. Don't really have so much to say 'bout all that though.

Still wrapping my head and heart around the death a few days ago of a friend, Kevin aka redefining_self, at way too young an age (34, of Hodgkin's Lymphoma). It's good to know he died surrounded by fambily and friends, and went peacefully at the end. Just re-read his last post about it being terminal and the LJ-message about his passing. Gonna sit here w/tears streaming down my face for a while, remembering the time(s) we spent together.

It boils down to this: You don't know what's gonna happen or when. Reach out and tell those you love you love them...and show them. Make and take and spend time w/them. Make it good time. Let go the B.S. Cherish whatcha got. If'n you don't like where you're at, get out and change it. Make a difference. Be true to yourself.

:( I'm very sorry for his passing and all the loved ones he left behind. I did not know him but I remember seeing him in your LJ, and any friend of a friend is a good person in my book.

Thank you. Actually, I cannot remember but you might've met him. I brought him to one Monster House That Greed Brought party - 'twas eain's b-day party/Pirate-themed several years back (2007, I believe).

Oh honey, my condolences.

And enough with the lung butter.

Thank you.

And yes, I concur whole-heartedly (and whole-lungedly)! This, too, shall pass... In the meantime, stock tip: Buy Kleenex. ;-)

Hugs and love and whatever else you might need right now. It's never easy to lose someone, but always important to grieve and hopefully celebrate what you did have while it lasted. *sits with you a while*
