Why Can't I Delete Mom's Face Book Page???

It has been a month since I saw a tornado claim my mother's life. Still Facebook keep asking me to reconnect with my mom. Despite the fact I have submitted their little form, called several times and have tried to get answers on Twitter, my mom's account is still up and I have been told that it will probably be memorialized since I do not have the right to do so. I'm mad and annoyed I have to pay a lawyer to do this. Basically, we want her page deleted. Under the circumstances of her death, it is something we need to do to heal. Facebook is making this bad situation worse.

When we are ready for a memorial page, we will make one. I shouldn't be forced to keep hers up by Facebook!

Please check this out. I get that not everyone will get where we are coming from. Some will think we are being selfish and taking mom away from her friends. Even if we are, it should be our right to do so.

Losing a loved one is always hard. Our situation is just a little different. We didn't just lose our mom in that tornado, we were there. We saw it kill our mother and then come after us. That is the image that haunts me every time I close my eyes. If I want to make this easier to move on...then I should be able to do so.

Best Laid Plans

I sat down and crafted a list of blog topics last night, and the plan was start working through that list tonight. It was going to be the start of a true reboot of this old thing. While I had planned on picking my stepdaughter up at the Boys and Girls Club after work I didn't plan on: 1) The amazon parrot needing me to make a food stop on the way home 2) My stepdaugher wanting me to watch her practice for color guard 3) That working on our budget would take nearly as long as it did. 4) Being this exhausted for no particular reason Now I sit here with a basset hound in my lap, and I am awkwardly trying to type on my laptop without disturbing him. This won't  be the blog I wanted to write tonight. It won't  be carefully crafted. That blog post will have to wait. Sometimes  you have to roll with the unexpected. Sometime you have to focus on what is really important. That means acknowledging that you have to make sure your priorities are in check. Sometimes you ha
