Why I haven't been posting....

It's been a rough week folks.

Our good friend Paul died rather suddenly Tuesday morning from complications of ALS. While we all knew he would eventually pass from this horrible disease, his death came sooner than we all imagined. He had just started to lose muscle control in his neck and face. He hadn't yet made the decision on whether to be put on a trach or not.

Early Tuesday morning - he wanted to use the bathroom. His wife and adult daughter were in the process of helping him when he went into distress. They were unable to tell what he was trying to communicate to them ( he had lost the ability to speak a year ago ) and he suffocated in front of them. Very tragic.


Then....Friday night, my brother called to tell me my 102 year old Grandma had died.


We're a bit emotionally spent here at the moment. But never fear....I will be back and post you some meaningless but sort of cute stories.

Jackie - I think you are my biggest fan :)

Oh, Sweetie, I am so sorry. So, so sorry. What a horrible week you've had. Since I'm not there to give you a hug, go, right this minute, and eat something chocolate. It'll help . . . a teeny bit.

I'm so sorry so much is happening at once. Eat the chocolate...AND take a long, hot bath.
