Just like that?
Jan. 15th, 2006 10:57 pmI was chatting in oroslash like normal, having a good old time and making pervy suggestions. Then I go upstairs and talk to Dad for a moment, and he tells me that Susan died a few hours before.
And that was it. No "bang or fireworks", to quote Dad. I go back downstairs and we're still talking about Silverbolt getting knocked up by Motormaster and Prime thinking the kids are his. And I'm still half-laughing at something Koi said right before I went upstairs.
It feels strange because there was one moment where there was a Susan, and now there isn't one, and the moments don't feel any different. Not as if she wasn't going already, I suppose this is almost a blessing now. It'll let her family move on. But I guess I was expecting something more. To actually cry or pause for thought or do something besides just going on with my life.
The funeral's tomorrow. Dunno what I'll say to Alex (the ten-year-old). I guess I'll just keep quiet and maybe ask if he wants to come over to play.
