It was six months ago today that Brandee took the last great journey of her life. While I held her hand and watched her take one last breath, she passed on to Heaven at 1:44 AM on 15 March, 2021. She was the best part of my life and losing her brought me to my …
Hello to all my blog followers! I know it has been awhile. I apologize. I have really fallen short and honestly, been wallowing in a bit of self pity these last two months. We had planned a wonderful Christmas vacation in Sun Valley, ID with my parents, brother and oldest son to which didn’t turn …
As I lie awake in my bed tonight, I remember my last post complaining about the delay in my new medication. That someone at Express Scripts was dropping the ball. I guess I was feeling a little sorry for myself as I knew, in that short amount of time, that I was getting worse. But …

After my initial battle of cancer, I admit, I was not concerned that the cancer would return. I felt quite confident that I had beaten the monster. Little did I know that it …
The cancer card that is. This is something I try to avoid doing because I certainly am not looking for any handouts or sympathy. I’ll admit, I have taken advantage of my “disability” when I had to go to the DMV. Let’s all be honest, who wants to sit and wait at the DMV for …
I will try to make this a short post. We are still in Detroit with family and have kept a low profile these two weeks. This has given me a lot of time with my thoughts which have been a bit consumed with my own mortality. I posted last week about the passing of my …
