Just so the people following this blog know, even though my parents are now both gone, I am still here. I will continue to write to this blog. For a while the posts will be letters to my parents. Letting them know how things are and how we are all doing. In time, the need…
Hey mom! How ya doing? How was your trip? I suppose there are many more questions I will ask of you and not be able to hear a response. I don’t feel one either, which is disconcerting. Then again I don’t feel much besides sticky right now. Man did you really have to pick the…

How is it possible to be so sad? Missing my mom so much that it’s almost numbing. Today my mother left this world. I have no clue what her journey from here will be like. I can only hope that it is pleasant and joyful. There is so much more that I want to say about…

This post was written yesterday (9/3/2014) 9 months and 1 day ago we found out my mother had terminal cancer, you would think that in that 9 months I would have gotten used to the fact that mom was going to die at some point. I haven’t. You’d think that I would have told her…

Mom likes to say this a lot lately. Well we ended up with yet another thing to worry about. Early this morning I woke up to use the bathroom (haven’t been sleeping well lately because it too dang hot for me). Before I had a chance to go back to bed something funny was going…
That title makes me giggle… go figure. Most of the time I post about mom I think to myself, “Gosh, that post sounded really negative. I hope people reading this aren’t getting the wrong impression about our situation.” This thought often times makes me rethink whether or not I should post. So today’s post is…
