I have sweated, on count of courtesy, in the passenger seat, fully expecting to not arrive at destination in one piece.<br /><br />Other than that, WWW: May E not turn in her grave.

Control freaks, we call them.<br /><br />I'm reminded of our mortality especially at this time of the year when I get out last years Christmas card list and find I have to cross several people who've died during the year, off it. I suppose it is inevitable as we get older.<br />Maggie xMaggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-52814961483219412132016-11-25T04:58:15.906-03:302016-11-25T04:58:15.906-03:30Those people who insist in being 100 per cent in c...Those people who insist in being 100 per cent in control of everything are very hard to deal with. They just won't take no for an answer however much you coax them or freeze them. Nevertheless, as you say, E was a friend and the loss of any friend is always sad and upsetting.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-59618235785808325082016-11-24T09:23:15.140-03:302016-11-24T09:23:15.140-03:30I adore driving Ramana especially mountain driving...I adore driving Ramana especially mountain driving. It sure was symptomatic of who E was and remained. They are dropping like flies around me and perhaps we grieve for our younger carefree selves who had 200 years to live?<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-83848189598350381422016-11-24T09:19:58.826-03:302016-11-24T09:19:58.826-03:30E it's left me with the biggie of do we ever k...E it's left me with the biggie of do we ever know anyone at all truly? I'm so sorry about your loss too. Discombobulating. We are left spinning. I applied to be a foster mom to poor dog who was left abandoned. Now I'm having second thoughts. Second thoughts are my constant companion these days.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-21184734808059123492016-11-24T09:14:09.314-03:302016-11-24T09:14:09.314-03:30At our age, this is normal.

There are many like that everywhere and unless one is capable of saying "no" firmly, they will take charge. Sometimes, it is better that they do, as had it been me instead of you, I would have very gladly allowed her to drive!Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-73454448794442404512016-11-24T01:10:00.439-03:302016-11-24T01:10:00.439-03:30I'm sorry this keeps happening--every death an...I'm sorry this keeps happening--every death and life--should leave us with questions, at least I think so, based on my own experience. In the last few years, I've often wondered whether I've done enough or been enough un my time on this planet and as of yet, have reached no firm conclusions...I've seen too many people with too many regrets at the end...I will e-mail, but have been having late nights as my male cat is upset at being suddenly a solo despite the added attention, so very tired and trying to catch up a bit with things. The weekend was harrowing. Sorry to hear of this passing. This E sounds interesting, despite being controlling and very private. Best to you.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.com
