Feel Old Yet? Jimmy’s Parents Are Dead.
Time sure does fly. Yesterday we were kids playing with Tonka Trucks in the sandbox, and today Jimmy’s parents died. Can someone call the 90's? I could use a vacation from, uhhh, today!
I remember having to finish my school science projects, but this afternoon I didn’t have time for anything except Mr. and Mrs. Cockburn’s funeral. It was really beautiful. Uncle Herm was a mess though. Talk about a real Boy Meets World moment. They had a parental death episode, right?
It’s hard to believe I’ll be 30 next week, but it’s even harder to believe I’ll have to specifically un-invite Jimmy, my best friend, because of the whole “parents fell off the edge of the Space Needle” debacle.
Iphones, Snapchat, self-driving cars! I’d say “what are you talking about, ya dope!” if you mentioned those to me twenty years ago or today in line for the post-funeral buffett. There are some things you shouldn’t be mentioned at the post-funeral buffett. The other, obviously, is Gorbachev. Yikes!
I guess the passage of time marches on for you, and I, and everyone else except the only two guardians Jimmy has ever known. What a crazy world we — and no longer than Cockburns — live in.
