both good things!

You've suffered so many losses. Lives that were taken too soon. Living life YOUR way and being less tolerant of nonsense are very, very good things. To do anything else only cheats ourselves in the long run. Thank you for the reminder and for sharing.

Caregivers are my hero.

By default have been an off-site caregiver of my Ex (1997) since mid Sept. 2011.

24/7 the worry, the strain, the confusion, the anger. the love, the get-out of my face, please don't leave me, the I want to die, I don't want to die.

" I TOOK my pills". Well what are these ? "I don't know, you must have put them there. "

Learning about sickness when it is up close and personal. She was victimized by her son the beginning of this April, and is now in a state of sadness, shock and loss and last night told me she is numb.

This morning, Leia, the daughter we raised called from the house (she is here for 4 days from Ohio, and needs to get back to her kids) said, Bama wants to go for Fish and Chips to Dana Point Harbor where we used to when I was little.

AHhhhhhhh, life can turn on a dime.

Soon to celebrate 8 years cancer free, I am realizing what a blessed life I have lead.

Love goes around amnd comes back in the stangest of times. We separated in 1997 for Gosh sake. We (Leia, Peg and I) are seeing an attorney this afternoon, about Advanced Directives , property, wills, living trusts, and ....end of life arrangements

Please know , if you are a caregiver I LOVE YOU ,and u have my utmost respect.... or become a caregiver, it is one hella feeling when you get that smile that says, I know you are doing what is best for me..
