Hi Kim, it's nice to hear from you. We lose so many friends here that it's wonderful when those who are still able to check in, do! At 81 your dad wasn't young, but he dealt with an unfairly difficult disease. I'm glad the grief support group is helping--you've had a very very difficult time with this. My mom is 84 and has Parkinson's. It's sad to see her mind going. I'm headed out to CA to visit her next month--leaving hubby with some combination of brother, sister-in-law, and daughters. I am so sorry to hear about the kidney stone...OUCH.
Are you doing for you these days? Have you found an outlet that brings joy?
