The Bag Lady has been having a bit of a hard time coming up with blog posts. Part of this is due to her lack of imagination, but a large part of it is because she is being distracted by real life.
When she started out blogging, she tried to keep her anonymity, to a degree. As time went on, she did let things slip a little, so that by now most of her regular readers (bless you, one and all) have a pretty good idea where in the universe she is.
The Rancher's boss died suddenly last week. The funeral is tomorrow. It has thrown all of us for a loop. Mohinder was from India, and went back to India on a 'working holiday' every spring. He was in India when he was taken ill and subsequently died.
He was "Uncle" to a huge number of people. As far as I understand it, being called Uncle in the Indian culture does not necessarily mean there is a blood relationship, but is a sign of respect. Moe was the patriarch of his family and will be sorely missed by all who knew him and worked for him.
Rest in peace Uncle Moe.
Sorry to hear about Moe. We've got a number of people from India in our department...I've been told that Uncle is a term of respect and endearment...like family you choose :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a nice weekend.
Geo - thanks.
ReplyDeleteThey are forecasting very warm weather for the next few days, so it should be a wonderful weekend!
Hope your weekend is great.
Not to in any way diminish the loss you all will be feeling, but I find it somewhat comforting that he was in his home country when he passed away. Warm thoughts go out to all who knew him.
ReplyDeleteLucas - That's true - he loved India, but his family is bringing him back to Canada for burial. He will be sorely missed in both countries.
ReplyDeleteVery sad for all who knew him.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Thanks, sis.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about the loss. I read the article and Moe sounds like an incredible person, the kind of person that we need more of in this world.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good weekend!
Emily - thanks. Moe was a great guy, and we'll miss him.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is terrific!
Moe gave a great deal back. We could all learn from his example.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Moe. I hope that his soul finds peace in his home land.

Sorry to hear about Moe. I agree it was probably comforting that he was at home.
ReplyDeleteIs it really Friday? Not just a trick?

ReplyDeleteHe seems like the kind of person I would have liked to have known.
ReplyDeleteDavid - I'm sure you would have liked him - most people did!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a rough week here, too. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy. Hope everything is okay with you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear! And I totally know what you mean about real life vs. blogging!
ReplyDeleteReal life has to take precedence.
Crabby - at times like this, I am really not that crazy about real life! The funeral was so sad.....
