    Oh the Memories

    It's better than it was. It's been 2 years and 8 months for me. I still miss him everyday. I cried all day on Father's Day....but on his birthday just a little. I still get waves of grief...but I can laugh and mean it now. I'm not so good with stress..or if I'm overtired. ALS robbed us. It took...

    Past caregivers can be happy, too.

    I'm happy that I'm not afraid. It's the first time in my life I have lived alone...and I'm not afraid. And I'm not bored. I'm lonely..but not bored. Even when people are here I'm lonely. I guess that will stay awhile. I'm doing what I have to do and not much more than that right now. I'm...
