Thinking of snow

Looking at the weather report, we may get snow on Saturday. Even though I have absolutely no desire to dig out my car if it does, I'm still looking forward to it.

I am currently sitting in the sun room, typing this on my phone instead of watching the outside and contemplating my navel. I'm sure there's a law against that somewhere. Along with listening to classical music, or playing piano while doing it.

Although, I think that's usually followed by some sort of explosion/fight scene and I'm not sure the carpet in here could take it.

I've been reading about telling a parent their child has passed.

It's one of the only things I seriously worried about when I thought about becoming a doctor. How do you tell someone the person they loved is gone?

I still don't know how, but I hope I remember some of this article.

I have it back with an explanation that adults have other ways of fighting sadness but it was very sweet of her, yes.
