Hello dear reader, it's been a while I know. About 6 months or so?
After my last post in November my Mom started to decline even more, and at the end of February passed away at the ripe old age of 95. Her family was both saddened AND relieved as she was suffering miserably. Obviously it's taken a while to adjust.
(If interested, I first wrote about her dementia diagnosis and the earlier stage of the caregiving journey back in 2018, and an update in the first half of this post in 2022. The best ONE word to describe the entire process? Heartbreaking.)
And while I'm not making any promises to blog on a regular basis, I do hope to do so at least sporadically. I'll be following up on my last post soon because tomorrow is Pride month's halfway point, and boy has there been a backlash!
Also, if even Canadian wildfire smoke turning New York City's skyline orange doesn't convince climate-change deniers and global-warming-is-a-hoax conspiracy theorists, what will?
Back soon!
So very sorry to hear about your mum. Hope to see you here more.
I know we've already emailed since your mom passed, but I just wanted you to know I did see this post. I hope you WILL get a chance to blog more! Even if I'm behind, your words are impactful and who knows how many people will see something you've written and have a seed planted or some needed affirmation of their own feelings....you've got a gift for writing! ⭐️
