Today marks four years since I lost my sweet daddy. His death knocked the breath out of me, even still today. One of my calls today was a listening call so I jumped out for a walk. I put on my rain jacket and hat since it was raining a little bit. I was pretty …
How often have you heard, or even said yourself, “life is short” ? Trust me. It is. Last week I read on Facebook someone posted about a death of a person I knew. I was in shock. I reached out to two mutual friends. They hadn’t heard and I don’t think they believed me. (One …
I traveled for work again and I nearly felt all my hard work two weeks prior were wasted. I immediately got back at walking again the day after I got home. Diet is coming back slowly. Eating right while stuck in an airport or living in a hotel is quite difficult. And yet here I …
Friday I had to drive over and pick up my dad's death certificate. I know he's gone, but seeing his name with the official seal stings a whole lot! One of the memories I had about my dad was many years ago, we used to drive to this small town in Kentucky. (I would drive; …
Today has been 13 years since Chubs died. Will this be a lucky year? Chubs was the first to pass from our immediate family. There are times when scents or songs take you to a moment with your loved one gone. I know when I smell Chantilly powder, it takes me right to my sweet …
Are we hours away from 2020 being over? Can we say "Hindsight 20/20" and really mean it? I'm over this year. This will be my final post till 2021. If I were a betting woman, I would bet 100 out of 100 people would say they are over this year, as well. How could a …
How do I sum up my Christmas this year? I would have to say it's as close enough to perfect as it could be compared to the year I have had. My niece, Miss Priss, as I have called her since she was born, and I reunited this year with my brother's (her dad) cancer …
I write this in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve. One thing that is very much in common with my hunka hunka and I from day one is our families celebrate everything on Christmas Eve. Then Christmas Day is just the two of us to relax. I thought about waiting to write this blog tomorrow …
The title of my blog will hopefully make sense by the end. Here's a picture my dad pulled out after I lost my mom. He absolutely loves this picture. He tells me he gets up often to sit and stare at it. Many times he says he talks to my mom. The picture hangs on …
I think it’s been a little over a week since I’ve written a blog. Actually this is my first blog this month. Being a motherless daughter sucks. This time of year double sucks. And for me it sucks the most. Today is my mom's birthday. She would have been 75. Her birthday always falls on …
