The MInistry of Terrible Puns

Oh Dear

RantWoman was all set to let a screed about memorializing family members with disabilities when what to her wondering search bar should appear but moments to remember the life too. A good bit of this has been marinating in DRAFTS since 2016. It gets to be its own post so this neighbor does not get entangled with a blind key chain collector fanatic from one of RantWoman's vocational rehab classes, about whom RantWoman needs to herd some family-presentable words together separately. 


This neighbor landed in RantWoman's archive of funky memorial moments because...his sister schedule a memorial out of town across the Sound in a location that only the most intrepid of this neighbor's friends would have attempted. RantWoman was not that intrepid and is unaware of any neighbors who did. 

RantWoman realized she did nothing to schedule a separate, more local memorial, partly because doing so is a custom unevenly observed. There were also many memorial posts in the Facebook group who figured out, because a sudden drop in his usually prolific posts that someone should contact local police and ask that they do a welfare check.


 With that, let us go back to remembering Life and puns and W's love of same even when RantWoman's face for some reason never registers the artistry of the pun with the level of appreciation RantWoman would like to exhibit..

I am really touched that so many other people are also remembering Madeleine today. I confess, the thing that brought her to mind for me is some new news item about something or other at Hanford. I miss her voice and I need the gratitudes. And I have another deceased friend who loved terrible puns and some of his FB contacts still remember him by posting terrible puns on his wall. So maybe we need to remember the gratitudes on Madeleine's wall too.

Huge numbers of hits
your mother is dying and that is not a reason for RantWoman to go away
forgiving but not forgetting.
