People die all the time, and have babies too. My friends mom was just killed, instantly, by a truck. Didn't think it was very couth to ask if she died "with COVID".

Thanks for the sentiment, but we weren't close. If we were I might be more pissed off about it. If I had known about it I might have been able to do or say something.

More important now is sharing those topmost critical documentaries in that comment I linked.

I had a parent that died recently. It was also a strained relationship. Its still hard because there is the realization that the relationship will never be fixed. We just want them to love us for who we really are inside. When they don’t, we eventually give up on them but perhaps there’s always a little hope there until they are gone. Then you really must say, ‘that’s all that relationship is ever going to be— they just didn’t get me’.

Perhaps Im projecting to much. But thats the hardest part, disappointment, unfulfilled needs. Of course I feel sorry for them too. But they gave up on me and I gave up on them.

Well now Im depressed. Maybe Ill watch the movie Zardoz to cheer myself up.

Ive seen a few of those docs but I will check some of the others out.

I lost hope long ago, realized our limits, and moved on refusing to let regrets weigh me down. Just like you can't please everyone all the time, some folks will never be pleased or even just Zen about it.

Different generations speak different languages, like time-traveling foreigners in the same land.

LOL Zardoz is classic. Nothing like dystopian entertainment to get you out of a funk. "At least we're not that bad, oh wait..."
