Tomorrow will be a year to the day that my wife died. This picture is from her last birthday in April, right about the time we realized her time was short. Might end up a mess singing this concert tomorrow.
Could I just go 12 MFing MONTHS without a death in my family? 2022, my daughter, my wife’s sister. 2023, my wife. Today, my wife’s father. I’m tired AF.
My daughter in Cali is in ICU. Cardiac arrest from a severe asthma attack. On a vent and heavy sedation now until brain swelling goes down. She’s only 22.

Oh, that’s right, we don’t “see” color. So that makes persons of color acceptable as long as they have no pride in who they are, how they look, or where they came from? As long as what makes them “them” is invisible and unnamed? Please pay attention next month. Thks, bye.
Lunch and a couple hours walking outdoors were wonderful. Back to our separate ends of the state till next time (which, this time, is only 5 days away😁).
So I did this today. My daughter Elizabeth (aka Lizzie, Liz, Lizard) died in 2022. My wife is probably rolling over in her grave (she hated tattoos). First ink at 60.
OK, good news for a change. Saturday morning’s canceled breakfast date is now tomorrow’s dinner date. 😁 Spent some time on the phone, and feeling optimistic.
Reposting this. To everyone who has shown support for me in this bad time, please make a donation if you can. My losses are in the past, but there are some that can still be prevented. Mothers and children need food and medicine. Let’s make a difference.
To anyone who happens upon my feed out of concern for what I posted last night, PLEASE consider helping save a life or two. I have a few causes that I regularly support, and this is one of them.

Compared to other leaders, my behavior’s quite unusual
My twisted tweets and pissed-on sheets have managed to amuse you all
I have to drink two-handed ‘cause my fingers are the teeniest
I need a sippy-cup with the inscription “Stable Genius.”

I don't talk much about them, cause the harsh truth is we can never save everyone.
Will I help any families today? I don't know that's really up to your generosity and if you have any to spare.

We would like to thank everyone who as expressed their support and encouragement in the last few days. It has been overwhelming and a source of strength.
I request that you NOT use this particular tweet for political replies. I’ll express opinions and engage, but not here. Thx.

Praying your sister can make it. My daughter’s oxygen was down too long due to Covid and asthma to bring her back. Hoping you don’t go through what we are dealing with now.
Well, shit. The day is here, and I’m ready to dress up, go on stage and pretend not to be a mess. In the back of my mind, I’ll be doing the “This time last year” thing all day.
As I bend over, I’m doing my best Freddie Mercury “Find me some tummy to rub, find me some tummy to rub…” I think the singing annoyed her but the tummy time was worth it. She’s lucky I wasn’t using my opera voice.

Then and now. Same table, and the delightful young lady who served us remembered a lot about our first visit. Well, Lecia IS pretty memorable.
We had a chance to visit Elizabeth’s apartment when we were out in Cali. Her last drawing was taped to her bed. “Christmas Cat” She was creative from her earliest years.
My actual anniversary is Thursday, but this pic is so perfect, I’m posting early. We made it to just shy of 25 years. This week would have been 26.
How TF did I get so lucky?
Yesterday was absolutely perfect. Lunch with

I am SO sorry. In January, my baby girl who was supposed to graduate from college in May, died of asthma exacerbated by Covid. We should NOT have to go through this. My heart breaks reading this.
@rose_stabler
I appreciate different perspectives, but I know that for myself, it’s time to move on. I guess one good selling point is that after 30 years of monogamy, I come pre-domesticated.
@EktaShahMD
Mine was well on her way. She died just 4 months shy of college graduation in 2022. I was looking forward to grad school and grandkids, but damn. She was definitely daddy’s Angel all her life.
OK, so the name. On our first date in January, my lovely romantic interest referred to me (kindly) as an old geezer (she’s 3 years younger). Last weekend, at the same location, she said that I was “such a kid” because of my boyish sense of humor. So I have a rap name.

I knew I wanted to be a dad before I wanted to be a husband. I was blessed to be both, and it was picture perfect while it lasted.

This skeleton of a dog at 18, could barely see & was deaf. The day she refused food twice (even when I was trying to support her so she could eat) was the day I made what I knew would be a 1 way trip to the vet. As long as she showed interest in food and contact, I was there.
Finally going to the CPA to do my taxes tomorrow. Second tax year in a row with a deceased household member. Last year my daughter, this year my wife. Can 2024 just be fvcking normal?
@Dangchick1
Haven’t yet, but my daughter just died Covid positive yesterday. We were with her in her last moments, so we’ll test when we get back home from Cali. She was in ICU and we were gowned, masked, and gloved, but still…
My daughter’s car arrived from Cali today with all her stuff boxed up. Not sure how soon we can handle unpacking it all. Thanks to her friends for making the arrangements.

the hot sauce came in the mail, and it ROCKS!! There’s a decent amount of heat, but not so much that I can’t taste all the spices and pepper flavor. This bottle won’t last long.
