Today was treatment #109. Dave & I left the farm at 6:30 am. We borrowed a vehicle because my daughter and I were in a car accident Sunday. My car took the brunt of it and left us a bit sore and rattled. My digestive system has been challenging lately and today was no exception as Dave maneuvered holiday interstate travel so I could empty my stomach on the side of the road on the way down. He is a keeper.
I’ve entered a time of heavier than usual grieving as we approach the anniversary of my mom’s death. Much like July, when I can remember details from each day in 2019, the days from a year ago are also etched in my heart. I miss my mom so much and I miss who I was when I had my mom. There was such reassurance in knowing my mom was constantly loving me and in my corner.
I am in active pursuit of Hope mostly by spending time with people (and dogs) I love.
I am not in control. 
How was Wicked For Good? We’re thinking we’ll wait until we’re the last people on earth to see it like we did the first one. Then we can sit alone in the first row of the theatre and I can sing along without bothering anyone.
As this awful year draws to a close, I’ve been thinking of you and your mom as I get ready to celebrate the holidays for the first time without my mom. Three of us will be at my youngest brother’s in Tremont for Thanksgiving, weather permitting. It will be weird. The loss of your mom was the first in a long line of friends who lost theirs as well in the past year. We’ve lost so many friends and relatives. We are more than ready to move to 2026. I’m glad you have Dave to take care of you. We knew he was a keeper back when you were on Federation board.
So glad you weren’t hurt in your accident. Cars can be replaced. People can’t.
Happy Thanksgiving. Wishing you strength and good times with your family to get through the holidays this year.
