Originally posted 2017-11-28 00:39:00. My husband took this picture of my biological father and I while I was talking to him, letting him know that I was there with him. 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…

Is this near the end?

Originally posted 2017-11-17 10:06:19. I got a phone call from my bio father’s “girlfriend” just a bit ago. He has been in the hospital for several weeks now. 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…

Which is it?

Originally posted 2023-10-04 08:58:58. Well…. my dad passed away at first by a heart attack and now was told it was instead an aneurysm. The death certificate has not be signed off on as of this morning because for whatever reason, all 4 of my step siblings all have to physically be there to sign off on it.

Something I feel in my heart

Originally posted 2019-09-17 07:00:00. There is something I feel in my heart I need to do. This is a continuation of the 2017 post. Now that my momma passed away I felt this loneliness. I still have my aunt and my “new” aunt. My aunt never found her birth father. I feel like she longed for just knowing where she came from. I guess I can understand it. I want to help her find more…

Update on bio father

Originally posted 2015-10-29 13:44:42. I think we all have a bit of “crazy” at times. Some more than others. I feel like it’s an overage of emotion, emotional outbursts. If someone remained level-headed their entire life, not once having a spike of emotion, then are the ones we need to look out for. But that is just one persons opinion. Call me crazy, call me what you want. Do you know how incredibly easy it…

Mindful exhaustion

Originally posted 2015-04-23 19:25:56. For some reason today I feel more exhausted than I have been in past times when I have been bombarded by so many things at once. Maybe it’s just because I have been put in a situation I was never prepared to handle. But when are we ever prepared to have to make decisions like this for our parents? Especially the one parent that was never really a “parent” to you.…
