Bad day

When I got up for the first in the morning I found Namo cat on the bathroom floor. He did not want to move, and I knew the time had come to let him go. Not with number four, to whom he had belonged from the day he had been born. So son will come tomorrow afternoon, to say a proper goodbye to his beloved pet. Then daughter told me that she had failed her second try at a test, and that she did not know yet if the third and last one she did was successful. I had a fit then opened the daily newspaper. Reading usually makes me blow off steam, but not what I read this time- an obituary that told me that our former neighbour's husband had died unexpectedly. Just a few days ago I saw him working hard by digging around the old house. Unexpected, indeed. He was 68, one year older than hubby. Another couple that never was able to live out the dreams they had planned for retirement. First work and only a few trips together, then Corona,and now nothing at all. Makes me very pensive- I now know of three wedded pairs where the husband died. And two that got a divorce, because Corona ´revealed´that they were not made for each other.

From bad to worse

When I read about the death of our neighbour I thought he might have died because of a heart attack. But the wife of the deceased has just been here with one of her sons and her sister, to bring us the death notice. Her husband has hung himself, and she has been the one who found him...None of the family knew about any personal problems. He just went into the garage, when his wife had went to bed. The family is in uproar. The father has been a total family guy, so no one knows about the reason why he killed himself. No farewell letter, nothing which explains the reason why he thought he better commit suicide...
