I don’t post here often but I you all still feel such a community and connection here. It’s been 1 year and 3 1/2 months since we lost Ted. I was thinking this morning that I used to mark my babies’ ages in months but eventually we just say their ages in years. Is it the same with marking a...

Re: I have decided to come off the vent I don't know if it is appropriate to post here, but I live near Mike and his obituary was online today. He passed yesterday.

It is with a broken heart that I say that my PALS, Ted Cody, passed peacefully this morning. His family was in the house but in the end it was just me and him. He opened his eyes, made eye contact with me and slowly drifted away. I will love him forever.

We got a new kitty this weekend. Our 25year old daughter who has volunteered to move home to help us out and brought home an abandoned one-eyed kitty. I was less than enthusiastic but two days in and this is the kitten's default location.

Sometimes it feels like we are bruised and battered by life but today I got a nice reminder of the positive. As I think I have said before, I am a high school teacher and I love my job. Sometimes it is so difficult trying to work full-time and care for my PALS, but The kids and my colleagues...
