Ended up missing my bus so had to wait an extra half hour

Got home to find my sister didn't work today so could have called. She seems unconcerned about the potential loss of water

But does it cost more than getting another car? Can you get a second opinion?

Anyways, here's a grief poem I finished today & posted on FB:
Screenshot of white text on a black background which reads: Is it really better to have loved and lost? Because the losing hurts so much And the grief can last for weeks, Months, Years And life will not stop long enough To let you mourn and just be No matter how much you try to prepare yourself Letting go is never easy Or simple Or a straight line Moving on can feel like a betrayal By showing how you don't need them in your life Others will try to help you through it Saying they've experienced similar lost And grief And emotions But it's always different and unique Even among family members Screenshot of white text on a black background which reads: One day the pain will lessen You might not cry for days, Weeks, Months at a time But then something will remind you And the tears will just flow Some say grief is love with nowhere to go But that doesn't feel right Or so simple Or universal It is so much more complicated than that And often indescribable and all encompassing Grief is a mix of love and pain so strong it disables you It disrupts your life in ways noticeable Inconvient Or Subconsciously It makes moving on sometimes seem impossible And you feel caught in a never ending spiral Screenshot of white text on a black background which reads: The grief can bring up other emotions Ones you didn't realize you had Such as guilt Regret Resentment The negativity can outweigh the positive Making the future seem bleak and unmanageable One day the good memories will soften the sad Tears will be outnumbered By laughter Smiles Good times But the heartache won't completely leave So you learn to live with it Maybe the grief will have broken you With wounds being reopened by anniversaries Holidays Everyday life And the scars will remain To keep you down for a long time Screenshot of white text on a black background which reads: Honoring the dead might only help the living And there is no expiration date On grief And love "You don't know what you have until it's gone" So remembering can help heal the soul So maybe it is better to have loved and lost To help appreciate the little things With wonder And awe To open yourself up to more love and pain And make life feel precious and worth living
