On death, dying and illness of a mother by her daughter, me.

My Mom turns 86 this March, if she makes it. She it totally disabled and has full time caregivers in her own place. You might remember another blog when I talked about moving her out of our family home and putting her in a rented apartment. She is going downhill and the dilemma is what do my sister and I do to help her in the process of dying. She can no longer see and cataract surgery is out of the question, so she only listens with her eyes in a blurry state. She seems to hear what she wants…See More

"So sorry you had to deal with such a negitive situtation. Social media does make it deceivingly easy to think you know someone better than you do."

When social media takes a wrong turn

After the week I have had I now see how social media can work to the detriment of a person-I being that person. When you find someone online for a reason (I hunt for writers for a website) you pick someone with great writing skills. That doesn't mean your personalities will ever be enough for a real friendship. Most of the writers I have found are truly gifted artists who have talent that abounds. Some are tortured, some are happy and some just write for joy. Some capture you and you think in…See More

He who dies with the most toys winI recently saw a bumper sticker that said “HE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST TOYS WINS.” It made me think of my father… he was a man who LOVED his toys. One of his favorite toys was a bright red Ferrari he bought during a midlife crises that seemed to last most of his adult life. I can still see him sitting in that car with a huge smile on his face. He took such delight in his possessions and his playthings. Besides the numerous sports cars (there are too many to name)…See More

Madge,

Thank you for joining Oil and Water and Other Things That Don't Mix. It's been such a treat having this friendship of ours blossom! I love it! Thank you for your constant support and positive vibes! A.

Hi Madge. Before my husband got sick had no idea how wide spread mental illness is, or how varied the symptoms and severity can be. Thanks for asking about my husband. Now that he's got the meds he needed he is better than ever, but I try to be mindful of the fact that it doesn't go away. At least if there's a next time I'll recognize what's going on.

Thanks again for your kind comments, to me and the other finalists. We're not exactly enjoying an outpouring of support, but maybe that's too much to ask. Anyway, thanks :) --A

Thanks Madge. I don't have a blog, I'm not on Twitter -- I'm really woefully underprepared to promote myself, my manuscript, etc., which is part of the reason I entered the Passion Project contest. And here's the shameful secret of it: I'm a full-time marketing manager in real life. For my writing, though, I don't exactly walk the walk. Yet. :)

Hi Madge,

Thanks for friending me, and for the nice compliment. I'm going to check out your website right now. Thanks again!

Hi Madge,
Thanks for the offer of support for my new book. I really appreciate it.
