No Time for Good-bye

Image
I can't tell you how many times I've started this blog post or how often I've refused to write anything else until I finished this one.  I've been plotting it out since May 2013.  It's why I haven't posted anything since last March.  The thing that's been tripping me up is that this blog post is supposed to be a eulogy.  When you really get down to it, a eulogy is a good-bye.  And I think the reason I can't write it is that I'm not ready to say good-bye at all. Becky Braun has always been the kind of friend you can count on and the support that my family has needed.  For those selfish reasons, I'm not willing to let her go just yet.  It wasn't clear to me why I wasn't writing until until this fall when my cousin dropped off her father's camera for me.  My uncle, Denny Olszewski passed away several years ago, but it wasn't until I had his camera in my hands that I realized I hadn't ever been ready to tell him good-bye eithe
