I just bought two cemetery plots for my Wonderful sister and her prick of a husband

My sister is going down hill so very fast.

I got her near our parents.



I don't give a shit what happens to her asshole husband, but I want my sister to know she (and he) is taken care of.


I will surprise her this weekend. Covid be damned I am going to see my sister. I will mask up and glove up

she said she wished she could hug me in person

what she doesn't know is she will be near our parents


they have no money. I wanted to take this off her worry plate




she does have some small life insurance and her prick of a husband can deal with that. While she is alive I don't want her to worry.

Maybe, just maybe, you might tell her sooner by phone. May your in-person visit be filled with love and light.

I am sure that it will comfort her to know that those arrangements have been made.

Protect yourself well. If possible get an N95 respirator mask and look for videos on how to properly fit it. A surgical mask on top might not be a bad idea either.

You are a good sister. If there is anything I know, it's that if you have a surprise for someone who is not well, give it to them right away. Worry is such a waste of time and feels heavy and hard. May she be light.

it is just so hard.


but I can't just sit by and not do anything.

in our home town, the plots are not horribly expensive like where I live now.


When I was soooo sick you all helped me get back to right.

this is the least I can do for my sister who is more like my mommy
