my wife lost her mom, and she gives me $hit about not talking to my own mother as often as my wife thinks I should.

I have my own reasons for keeping to myself, but it's something my siblings understand that my wife could NEVER understand.

It's just one of those things.

Also: a co-worker relayed how a guy ended up passing at her job. The thing that struck a chord with her was how life just kept moving all around her. People were still buying beers/hot dogs and shouting down at the field.

I was all in my feelings about how precious life was Friday, and now it's Tuesday and I haven't given anything I said Friday a second thought.

Some shit hit's like a boulder and passes...some shit nags at you eternally. Neither is greater or lesser. Love your folk in the moments you can and leave it all out there, bro.

You're carrying a LOT right now; I wonder if you're putting too much of an emotional burden on yourself.

unpack and travel lighter - if you can.
