Life Observations

Today, AMC played the 40th anniversary edition of the movie, MASH.
At the time it came out, I wasn't permitted to watch it. I was a mere 14. My parents thought it was an obscene movie.

Years passed.
Times changed.
MASH became a family staple, although I doubt my parents ever saw the movie... despite my sister Lisa's choir singing the theme at a concert. (Suicide is painless...)

Some time in late, 2007, Diana and I bought the movie and began buying the TV episodes, one season at a time. By the end of Spring, we had the entire series and had spent many a hilarious evening watching them.

Time again passed.
Diana and I parted ways.
Believe it or not, I still can "hear" her laughing at various scenes when I watch them... this time in my solitude. Endings - for what ever reason - seem to give you much more pain as time reminds you of something that was once good.

Time will pass....
Although it's been almost three years, and these pains too... will one day fade.
One day...
