Christie, I am glad you shared the story. Although you knew you might be dealing with something terminal, you certainly didn't expect Rawley to go then, like that. When Bennie died, it was not from the multiple myeloma for which he was being treated... he had an internal bleed that was fatal--while we were on vacation and not around his usual medical team, either. So difficult, yet the way you love him and always will love him is of devotion, beauty and honor. I hope sharing this helps you keep him near.
What happened to Rawley
I have never really explained what happened to my dog Rawley, although if you follow me on Facebook you probably know much of this, with the exception of the biopsy results. The night of Dec. 20, I was tickling Rawley's tummy. I did this all the time; I'd definitely done it before I'd left on a...
Renter's insurance. Should cover for the move. Do you not have it now?
How do I insure the contents of my rental truck while I'm moving cross-country?
I am SERIOUSLY frustrated. I'm pretty good at Google, you know, but I can't find the answer to a very simple question: How do I insure the stuff I'm taking in my U-Haul from California to Michigan against theft? U-Haul's insurance covers pretty much everything EXCEPT theft. I don't have homeow...
I would like that recipe too... it was a dish I had at Park Chow in SF on Thursday night. I bought some pesto in hope of recreating it, though. I'll let you know if I am successful. It made for some yummy quinoa!
Some Observations, Three Months Out from Weight Loss Surgery
Three months out from my Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, I have a bit of perspective on how the process has changed my life. In addition to being a kind of metabolic reset, the surgery also creates time and space for attitude and behavior adjustments that are needed to go forward. The weight loss surg...
Jill, reading your memories of your mother stirred me this Sunday morning. Perhaps it is common for women to have these strong remembrance of details like their mothers hands (my mother's had large knuckles and strong nails) or the unique rhythm of her feet as she walked along in her high heels. I think we daughters are so tied to our mothers all our lives, and those complicated women leave complicated wounds.
My own mother died in 1982, when she was 59, after 3 years of cancer and multiple surgeries and their complications ravaging her body. A woman who had once been the strongest most independent role model I could have imagined while growing up, had become small, frail and dependent on others, though she remained feisty to the end.
Thank you very much for sharing this.
my mothers birthday
Mum and Judy, Kuala Lumpur, 1960 Yesterday. 6th March 1928. She would have been 82. She didn't make it past 62. She died in August of 1990 and I have to admit that I neither remember that date nor did I remember her birthday yesterday. My older brother had to remind me. That isn't to s...
