Be Like Homer
October 08, 2004 | Category: Family, It's a Trip
Today we found out that my beloved Uncle is sick. He is very sick. As my Aunt wrote: "Keep us in your positive thoughts. I want more time with this man."
After I found out, I wasn't doing a good job of holding it together. This was definitely a "Take this job and shove it" day. But some things couldn't be rescheduled on account of life sucking. So I called up this old picture, and put one foot in front of the other.
Like my husband's favorite Simpson's episode - the one that ends with Homer, at his job station, surrounded by pictures of Baby Maggie. The sign above him has been altered so it reads "Do it for her."
P.S. They still fall asleep like this, and I still sneak up and take pictures when they do. I've learned to turn off the flash, though.
P.P.S. All good thoughts for my Uncle are deeply, deeply appreciated.
