Forever Silly

9/25/2018

I was on a conference call this week with a mother who had lost her young son. The cat they bought for him when he was ill now isn't doing well. Damn. It was their Bailey. Madi's moms and I have four pets, but the common thread when it comes to Madison, is Bailey. The fact that I may have more pics of her than my wife makes me officially old at 59. Growing my hair long might suggest a quirky lack of credibility, so we'll see where that goes. 22 years at IBM and another 15 at two other conservative companies, my hair has been short since high school.

A couple of things we've accepted: one, it's not "the Camry" and two, it'll always be Madison's bedroom. We bought the car as an economical freeway-flier, something that we could drive up to SF for the trial, Madison's mom would use it too. But. Rebranding it or her bedroom as anything other than Madison's requires unnecessary energy... everything she had will always be hers, including her bathroom. We're okay with it and besides, it felt silly trying to rename or rebrand her bedroom in to something else too. While the furniture is all different, do we call it the den two point oh?! The guest bedroom, or just call it what it will always be... just like her car, Madison's room. 

It's impossible to not reflect on her silliness. She was actually able to bait the dogs (okay, her dogs) onto the treadmill, link here. I love her giggle... one of the sounds we all remember spontaneously coming out of Madison, forever silly :-)
