I’ve got a lot of shit going on so I’m struggling.
It’s the two year anniversary of my mom passing away this weekend and it is a heavy thing.
I’m processing a bunch of trauma stuff from my past so that’s been keeping my awake.
And ds3 is still on the wait list for OT and it’s very frustrating.

OT was a game changer for DD2. I hope you get some news soon.

ponyhairs so much love to you. How old is your DD? 12? I would be happy to make her an Amazon wish list, and I bet we would clear it!

I actually enlisted the help of a friend and she’s going to come and pick up her gifts and wrap them for me.

I’m glad you asked her. I’ll keep watching your posts and seeing if there’s any way we can help. Sending love.

A bunch of us (including me) caught COVID at my aunt’s funeral at the end of last week, so that’s swell.

What I thought was food poisoning on Friday turns out to be something contagious, and now DD is down with it. Ugh.

A former coworker committed suicide last weekend and his viewing/ memorial service is tomorrow night. I have also known his wife’s family for 35ish years. I feel like I need to go pay my respects but am selfishly afraid of this.

To add to the fuck cancer theme - I found out yesterday an acquaintance of mine from dog rescue died at age 53 from lung cancer. She was not a smoker. I met her when she adopted this bonded pair of dogs from the rescue I worked at. The dogs were quite a sight and I thought they would never get adopted. One was young and so timid and the other was blind and old. This wonderful came in a fell in love with them and took them both. The dogs have since passed and she adopted another dog that my friend fostered. She was such a good person and I just hate that her life was cut short. Last year a good friend from dog rescue passed of cancer. It’s like why does this happen to good people?

I’m actively pretending like the holidays just don’t exist this year. My mom died in early 2020 and my dad passed away on Thanksgiving (so just about a month ago). I’m an only child, single, and I don’t live close to extended family, so I’m facing a Christmas completely alone for the first time ever. I am struggling.

I didn't want to leave a "love it" without saying how sorry I am for your loss.

A quick update. My sweet husband has officially transitioned to hospice care. He’s well medicated and comfortable and has been unconscious since late yesterday. Fuck cancer. 💔

ponyhairs I’m holding you in so much love and comfort right now. I want you to know that you will be ok but none of you deserve any of this. This is the hardest thing and I wish I could take away your pain and lighten your burden. May your memories and love guide you and cushion you. Please feel all of us sending you strength and love.
