OK, y’all might think I’ve gone ’round the bend with this one, and, I usually don’t link to Perez Hilton here (celebrity gossip site), but, this account (link has some extraneous images not safe for work, or, kids. No, seriously, I warned you) of his first concert appearance since her death just struck me for […]
Our parish priest is very ill with pancreatic cancer. He is at home, but, declining rapidly.
He is well loved, and, it’s natural that people are concerned and upset. But, for some reason, every time I hear an update about him, I feel much like I did with my own mother. It’s actually involuntary, I don’t […]

I’ve got 4 letters I need to write, 3 of them are to friends who have recently lost a parent, and, another to a friend whose mother has cancer, and, isn’t doing very well.
Before my mother got sick, I didn’t truly get it when people had ill or dying parents. Don’t get me wrong, I […]

It’s been over a year since my mother died.
I’m doing well, but, still fighting the urge to swoop in and advise other people with ill, and, dying parents.
People were so kind, and, there for me, and, I want others to know that everything will be OK.
However, I must get rid of the urge to […]
Apparently, I forgot to write about the first anniversary (July 20th) of my mother’s death here.
I started talking about it at Busymom.net, and, I guess I just kept going over there.
Prior to the day, I found myself really restless, and, I couldn’t really pinpoint why, but, I guess this was it.
I talked […]
Jill Fallon writes a beautiful 3 post series about her mother’s death at Legacy Matters, and, Estate Vaults.
The first post, My Mother is Dying, tells of her colon cancer diagnosis, and, her rather rapid decline.
A Beautiful Death describes her joyful last days, and, finally, she wrote a Eulogy for My (her) Mother.
It’s a little […]
My dad and I went to the cemetery yesterday for Memorial Day here in the States. We’re not usually cemetery go-ers, but, he wanted to do it, so I went along.
It was a beautiful day as we made our rounds to the cemetery where my mother is buried, and the other one where my […]
I read a tragic story, and, though I don’t know this family, I think they could use our good thoughts, and, prayers.
Magazine Man, of Somewhere on the Masthead, has a newborn baby at home, and, unbelievably, both of his parents were killed in a car wreck on the way to visit the family.
I cannot […]
Parents to the left of me, children to the right, here I am.
