I'm 65, but Heaven only knows with major kidney issues and lupus, at times I feel like 95. Any occasion for laughter is welcome! I hope 2025 is a good year for you! Keep singing your heart out! I lost both my my mother and grandmother to cancer... In both of their cases, it was caught too late. My grandmother died with severe bilateral breast cancer, that went undiagnosed in a small, rural nursing home. My mother was a critical care nurse for many years, who's cancer was first found just below her sinus cavity. They did radical surgery, removing part of her jaw, but spread. She died in agony, in a hospice 9 months later. Although my mother passed away over 20 years ago, I still feel the loss.
I'll bet it does. Thanks for the encouragement on the music — so sorry for your losses. That's wild, that kind of breast cancer situation. I'm so sorry to hear that, on both counts.
The human mind is rather strange, the way we deal with grief.
Thank you 😊. It's just around the holidays is when I feel it the most. I lost both my parents only a year apart 😔. My father was 61, and had already suffered 3 heart attacks. At the time of his death, he was stubbornly walking two miles a day!😳 One day after lunch, he lay down for a nap 😴, he had another heart attack, and a massive stroke in his sleep. My mother found him about an hour and a half later. My mother passed away a year later. Yes, grief is hard,
I lost my former husband this year in late September. Although we had been divorced for many years, I still love 🦋 him dearly. In my heart, he will always be my husband...I married for life, not for when it was just easy. He couldn't accept my Systemic Lupus diagnosis... hence, our parting of ways. I forgave him long ago, and am much happier for it. Blessings have found their way into my life. God is so good 😊.
I live in a nursing home 🏠, so I'm one of those handicapped artists, struggling with multiple, serious health issues. Thank you for the laughs! I read it to my friend next door. We were laughing so hard, the nurses and aides must have thought we had lost our ever lovin' minds!😅 Thank you, for lightening our day 🌞. The card with the children on the beach, staring down at that poor, dead 🐦... Priceless (☺️ Happy New Year!🥳🎊🧨🎉🥳
Thanks Karen, I’m glad you chimed in! Having done hospice and chaplaincy care, some of the more lucid folks I know were 90-year-olds suffering physical maladies. May you be well!
I’m glad you laughed. Did you see the Hart piece at the end? Click through to that if you haven’t

For sure. Me too. Yeah, that's a lot of heart attacks — I can't imagine losing my bride that way.
Sorry he didn't keep the "in sickness and in health" bit. My step mom behaved similarly.
