It happened about two years ago. Just like Gerry, she fell. Unlike Gerry, they chose not to fix hers. Instead she laid in a bed for three months. Moaning in pain. Completely incoherent. They didn'...

And I didn’t figure out why until this morning. Gina died one year ago yesterday. And I knew that. Kept talking about it beforehand. Thought I’d go to the cemetery. Yet, the day passed with me mostly in bed. Nappi...

I haven't seen him since the funeral, which in turn got me thinking about my Godmother. I was thinking about that terrible place she died in when Gigi came over and stuck her...

Submitted by Fightin' 6th Marines. I do. My Godfather. It's sad because it's what he talks about most. As if the rest of his life didn't mean enough. HE spent 18 months oversees -- in hindsight you'd think it had b...

Slow setting sun. A perfect time to go somewhere and sit outdoors. Go for a walk. But I have no one I can really call. Most of my friends are married. Or fuddy-duddies that would say no. And mom is settl...

You know how you're just be-bopping along in your day when you see the calendar date and get be-bopped upside the head? Today is one of those days. My brother Ernie died two years ago today. The diagnosis. Am I a match? The cancer is back The...

Her minister sat with us last night and listened to us tell stories. He did a fine job of gleaning information about her and incorporating it into a true tribute to he...

The room she is in is tiny. I know this because I just came from there. She was still cold. She looked like herself though. Peachy lipstick, no hairy upper lip, not a lot of makeup, hair curled nicely. The viewing doesn't...
