Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for June 01, 2010

Run, Phil, run while you still have a chance!

She might as well, tell you that “I talk to dead people.”.

It’s not so bad to talk to dead people, it’s when they talk back that you’ve got to start to worry. XD

It’s when they talk back and you obey them.

I know some of you are joking, but there’s nothing wrong with talking to the people who you love who are now gone. Granted, I do it in my head, but I miss my father every day. Now if she has a shrine of him at home and talks about him all the time, then she probably needs therapy, but she doesn’t seem to do that.

That was such a sweet confidence and such a gem of a rebuttal from the daughter!

If the dead could talk just imagine what they would say. I wish my dad could talk to mom about worrying about money she is afraid she is going broke far from it. Mom is very healthy and 85.

Phil, Holly is just testing you. But I would think long and hard about commentment.

Amen, lightenup! My father’s been gone 30 years this September, and I’m tearing up just writing about him. I was a Daddy’s girl.

I was in a parade in MA yesterday so missed the comments till today. Lots of them were about relatives, but even if your relatives were not in combat you may have lost a friend. My relatives in combat all came back from the various wars, but two friends from high school did not. Both Marines, 2nd looies. One hitchhiked to the recruiter’s office the day he turned 18. Semper fi.
