death

We’re in this together

May 30, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 29 Comments

Huge peony blooms from my cutting garden. I know it’s confusing to some, how or even why I would want to stay partnered with a person who lied and cheated and systematically betrayed me.

On his own terms…

February 10, 2020February 10, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 37 Comments

A few people have mentioned here and elsewhere how my dad lived life on his own terms. He lived that way, and then he died that way. Dad passed away last Thursday, February 6. He was stuck in the ICU for five weeks. No doubt it was torture for him. Before going into the hospital … Continue reading On his own terms…
