So even before I quit posting I had fallen far behind and never posted some of the most significant events of my life. One of the biggest 2012 events was my Daddy Died the end of August and though Blane and I took a flight the next day we didn't make it in enough time to really have a meaningful goodbye. We were there at the hospital but he was gone about an hour after we got there. He tried to hang on but by then he'd had a couple of big strokes and while he was breathing with the respirator his mind was gone and so was the rest of him.
I will never forgive myself for not going up earlier that year. He'd gotten his leg amputated due to Diabetic complications and I selfishly didn't want to see him like that. I my mind my Daddy was always big and strong and healthy. I stayed til after the burial at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Medical Lake. then flew home. He got up there and met up with everyone and decided he and Uncle Sharon needed to go fishing somewhere and needed a good dog along so that is when LucyBelle died just a few weeks later while I was in the hospital.
Mom had a really hard time after Daddy passed. She just got worse and worse after we took her car away and she met Daddy in Heaven after living at a Care Center for about a year and a half before she got peumoania in June and she passed away the end of July 2020 but not from the Covid-19 Pandemic like everyone else these past few years. Another part of history i've lived thru
