I know I've wrote "way too many" blogs today. Sometimes I just get in the mood. Most "I expect" won't be looked at. But hey, I'm not here for a "popularity" contest. I just say what's on my mind, when it's on my mind. That's all.

I want to talk a little about "Xenia". Say what I know about her as a person. She just died. She was 80 something. Her funeral is Wednesday.

My "perspective only here". It's how I seen this woman (both while growing up, as well as later years).

Floyd (Xenia's husband for like 50 years) was kinda the type that believed "Her husband was boss". If he said anything, she never went against it. They always had a great relationship, and loved eachother. Some things become "obvious" when you know people forever. They were a "great couple". Floyd wasn't mean, abusive or anything. Just, I think they grew up in that "era".. before women became "nutty and bitched alot".. lol.

Xenia wasn't afraid of him or anything. But together, she was kinda on the "quiet side".

On her own, damn this woman could talk. I think she lived for "gossip". Once she started talking, no stopping her.. lol. That's a fact. I met her when I was in 5th grade. Even then, if she cornered me.. and started talking.. I was in for "hours" of listening.. lol. Learned alot about everyone. She complained alot about bills (although they were way better off then anyone I knew).

Both Xenia and Floyd died this year. Just before, they had an "anniversary". I think the 50th. Xenia made this point to pull out pictures. I grew up across her house in her parents old home. Pictures in the 20's. Model T car in the front yard. We moved in there when I was in 5th grade. No running water. 130 yr old house. I vivid remember tearing the "outhouse" down.

I avoided "Floyd" like the plague. I think it's because he caught me in "everything". I think he had "radar" or something. I often avoided her too. Just because she talked way too much for me.

Both are dead now. Both this year. Both "In my opinion" were some of the best people on earth. Yes, growing up (and even in later years) I avoided them alot. I tried anyway, but they were always there. I didn't realize it so much when "young", but I grew to know "all they were doing was looking out for me". (starting to cry again.. give me a second).....

Every single time I fucked up (trust me, it was alot), they were there for me. They NEVER looked down on me, never even said a word after the problem was done. Pure and simple.. They always wanted to help.

The funeral is Wednesday. I plan to make that no matter what. I'll walk the 30 miles if I have too.. as our car got "Repo'd". I heard some sad chit. Most every single member of that family is "super cool". They always have been. This is a BIG deal, and I won't go into details. One family member has been taking Xenia's "checks", stealing and cashing. The family knows the truth.. so now she is calling "Social services" and whatever on everyone. Lies, false crap. Trying to hurt them... when I know all so well.. I know the truth. Hell Craigs sister is a "teacher" (and a good caring one. she calls cops on her.. for nothing), and in the end the truth will prove.

I know who is doing this. I also know nothing she says is true. I don't expect her to be at the funeral, but if she does I hope I don't run into her. It's just terrible, what she's doing. She's off into taking pills and chit.. her mind isn't right. She'll be in jail soon.. for sure..

Back to Xenia. She was just a "wonderful" God loving person. She did everything for her husband, her kids, everyone. This news hurt me very bad. All her family will inherit, but who cares about that crap. One of God's best people left the earth. I only wish I was "half" like her....

Crying again.. so I'm out..
