Grief
Bob Hansen passed away today. I have still not come to terms with the fact that he is gone. We saw him Christmas Day at Barb's and he was fine - his dubiously jovial self. I am increasingly coming to grips with the fact that we are not here forever. I have no desire to have anyone perform CPR on me. Apparently they worked on him twice for extended periods. It was ugly.
I talked with Barb, Missy, Linda G____, and Katie at length today. Linda, of course, is the most pragmatic. Her mother always told her that we are merely specks of sand in life. It is true. In the grand scheme of things we only really matter to a small group of people. That group, however, sustains those who are left behind.
No plans have yet been made. Barb's family is all heading over to Jackie's house this evening. I don't feel like doing much but reflecting about everything.
This event makes the mess that now is the United States shrink into the background, at least for awhile. I restarted my antidepressant and it will help me to get through the next few days, I believe.
I have nothing more to say at the moment. The family is no longer whole. There is a piece missing. That piece will always be missing from now on.
Added on 3/10/25: Katie wrote this message on Facebook when she posted Bob's obituary. I think it's a wonderful and accurate description. Bob used to babysit his sisters in the 1980's and early 90's and she was just a kid, so this is written from her perspective at the time.
"This wasn’t supposed to happen. This is so unfair and tragic. I’ll always remember Bob when I was little seeming larger than a giant, and as surly as a pirate. We were always in awe of him and sometimes downright intimidated lol! His sense of humor was like none other and he always had a smart ass comment to everything. He was super sweet really, he just always had a crunchy outer layer- but that’s exactly what we loved about him. It will never be the same without him: RIP cousin, you sure will be missed."

I'm Ashley, from Texas, USA. I had been in a relationship with a guy and we had unprotected sex for the first time and within a day I got a big bump on the crease of my thigh and vagina. After a few days it began to hurt more and more. I told him to take a picture of it for me, and it looked like open sores, like bugs were biting off my skin or something. So I went to the ER and they said genital herpes. I was soooo depressed. My boyfriend and I cried. He cried for me, but he had no idea he had it too. The next day, the same thing happens to him. At this point, we think I gave it to him because I was the first one to show the symptoms. The next phase I went through was depression. At this point, all I did was sleep and cry. I felt like my life was over. I knew I could never get married, I felt dirty, and worthless. I was depressed for about two months. I fought thoughts of suicide and it was a hassle to even carry out my daily tasks. So I started to wonder if there would be a remedy to this disease, which led me to going to visiting many hospitals, and nothing good came out from it, until I read a person’s testimony online that said that they were cured with the help of Dr Harry, of this disease that the world deems incurable and tears rolled down my face. That person's testimony sparked a hope in me that led me to contact Dr Harry. So he assured us that we are going to be alright, after meeting up with the necessary requirements, he sent us a parcel and gave us an instruction guide on how to use it, which we did, after 7 days of using the medication, the herpes was totally cured. So my boyfriend and I went and got tested for every STD in the book and every single test came back NEGATIVE, we also went back to the hospital, and it was confirmed NEGATIVE. I am posting my testimony to help someone out there suffering from this disease. Do not hesitate to contact Dr. Harry via e-mail: drharryherbs@gmail.com or call him or whatsapp on +2348142350014
