If you go back to October when I had my mini-stroke so that’s almost 2 months. Geez… Biological father passed away on November 14th. Dusty and I had gotten up early that morning to make the trip to see him when the so-called girlfriend called me to tell me he…

My husband calls me on his way to work to tell me that the truck told him to immediately turn it off. SO… he pulled over right before entering the base to go to work. It said oil something. I called my bff’s hubbie and got him to get up and go get him and then tow the truck…

The morning he passed away Dusty and I were getting ready to make the 2 hour (one-way) trip to see him. I was told he passed at 4:20 in the morning on November 14th 2017. At least he’s able to be with my grandparents and…

He traced his steps, checked the truck, the locker room and every place he had been to try and find it. He said he even looked several times trying to find it. He got home and was in panic mode…

It seems last night he took a turn for the worse. He stopped wanting to eat ~ even if being fed. They are considering a feeding tube. He spiked a fever of 102 and feel that he may have a touch of pneumonia. So they have started…
Originally posted 2019-04-24 16:43:01. Grieving while being the mother and caregiver to someone with autism is hard as hell. Dusty watches me 24/7. He sees me crying, mad, frustrated, etc I can’t escape. All the while trying to repair hurricane florence damage. I have been going to my local massage envy every few weeks for a deep tissue massage. It has helped tremendously from a physical standpoint but not really helped mentally. I need an…
