People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards;

sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are. ~Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

My version of her obituary, for my aunt Beth

Janaan Stewart Diemer completed her baptismal journey February 19, 2007.

Those who were screwed include Janaan herself who never made it to Cabo, her loving yet now bitter husband Dan, her two daughters who are now at loss of a direction in life, Rebecca and Miriam, her sister who didn’t have enough time with her, Linda and her brother Scott who wishes he hadn’t picked on her so much, and her parents Ray and Myra who now wonder where they will go for the holidays if not warm New Mexico.
