STRANGE AND UNUSUAL

In an article titled: " The weird wisdom of Beetlejuice", @thisisthetake touches the subject of death, grief. 
Three years ago,who could've known I would've lost my sibling? 
As Lydia Deetz would probably say... Life is strange and unusual. 
But I did! 
I despise touching this can of worms, let alone opening it, but today had to be that day! I had to talk about it!
That gut wrenching news you get that blindsides you in the middle of the day on a tuesday afternoon. Well... For me it was a Friday morning at 8 am to be precise. My worst fear became real and nobody couldn't do a damn thing about it!
Joyful, blissful, happy, amicable Bobo was gone. 
For people who know me personally, my brother was my everything but I strangely feel I still have something even after he's gone. 
In the midst of all this mess I remember that article, that video. 
In Beetlejuice, the Maitland who planned on having kids are now forced to deal with their prematured death and the arrival of the Deetz in their new home. They try to scare them but they are too "good" of ghosts so they hire Beetlejuice who is a professional!
But by the time he could do his job, they are already attached to Lydia Deetz who is the only child of the new family.🤦🏾‍♀️
This is the chance if their life or... death and they are not going to fumble it! 📌
The movie ends ends joyful note of the Maitland dancing with Lydia and other ghosts. For 
@suzamaphony of @thisisthetake : " We shouldn't fight what's calling us because we think we know what's best for us, if we open up to what could be out there we might be pleasantly surprised by all life and the great beyond have to offer".
I don't know where my brother is or if he has read " The book of the recently deceased", but what I know is I wish him a safe journey. . For him, you and me my friends. 
Maybe all of this is part of the plan; it's at least part of mine anyway.. And guess what? I HAVE to deal with it! 
Happy new week people!

Nah.... Not this time!
