Hi Everyone, my aunt died recently after years of suffering with dementia. Her death was expected, but it’s very sad. I probably won’t be posting much for awhile. I will see you in the Spring. ❄️🌸

Now in the quiet hour
When I am sleeping
I cannot keep the night from coming in …

Well, if you've seen true light, then this is my prayer
Will you call me when you get there?

Thank you, Derek. You’re a good son. You’re right about all of the good stories. 🙏💙

I really appreciate your support. Interestingly, my aunt has had dementia for over a decade. She developed kidney and heart failure that can no longer be treated. I am so sorry to hear about your mom — it’s so tragic! I’m sorry she couldn’t recognize you, but maybe she sensed your love. 💗

Hi Derek. Things aren’t good here. A close relative is very ill and is now receiving hospice care. It’s a big shock and very upsetting. I probably won’t be posting anything for awhile. Thank you for checking in. I hope things are well with you.

Striking painting! I like it! 💜💙 Thanks for sharing, Mike. 🦌It is:

"For You" For you I undress down to the sheaths of my nerves. I remove my jewelry and set it on the nightstand, I unhook my ribs, spread my lungs flat on a chair. I dissolve like a remedy in water, in wine. I spill without staining, and leave without stirring the air. I do it for love. For love, I disappear. Kim Addonizio

They’re a sweet pair, Marg! 💜💜

I like this so much, Marc! It has a nice “woven” look to it that is unexpected and very nice! 😊 💜

😻!

Thanks, Johnny! 🙏 I am not advocating arson, but I do like this. 🙃 It’s good to see you! 🧡
