My sister is. She is the most gracious woman I know. I was face booking with her a little earlier. I told her that I didnt get all the bushes I wanted next door because when they pulled down the roof (its a de-construction job) it collapsed on them and broke them beyond repair. She asked me what kinds and I told her. Well, she is going out tomorrow and getting me all those bushes! I was amazed! These are luxuries and what I still need at this time, is help with my necessities. But she knows how much I love my gardening and is contributing to this purposeful joy.

I am so excited about her gifts...not because of what type of bushes they are...but because my sister loves me and wants to do things to make me happy, not just get through this period of my life.

I wish everyone has a person in their life like my sister....

As I was driving thru the pines today on the way to work - I was overcome with missing her - she would have loved living back on the east coast again....

Not so much today, but the other day at breakfast at IHOP. An older couple came in rolling an older gentleman in a wheelchair. The way they pushed him to the table and positioned him, made me remember my Dad. We used to take him and Mom to IHOP for her bday. It hit me quick and hard and I had to leave the table 'cause I started tearing up.

Even after three years, his memory pops up and I miss him so much some days.

I'm doing better this week, but I had a hard time before, during and after September 5th, which was the birthday of my very troubled junior high / early high school boyfriend who died in a car accident this last May. Every September 5th since I was 15 years old, I've worried about him and wondered how he was and hoped he was doing okay. This year it was like a freight train - but for the first time ever it wasn't worry that I felt - just grief. I'm very glad that after a 7 year gap, we did get to talk again around march of this year. I'm just comforted to have gotten to get the update on his life, to give him the update on mine and just get some perspective on those kids we once were. I know his friends are mourning a Josh I never really knew, and I'm mourning the kid he once was and the kid he never got to be.

My partner, who is currently asleep beside me.

I'm thinking about her because today we bought those shape-up's. You know, the ones that are supposed to help you tone while you walk? We have been talking about getting in shape for awhile, but now that I live here it is something we can work towards together now, being each others motivation. Grocery shopping involved picking up apples and baby carrots and v8 juice to help us incorporate more fruits and veggies into our diet and to give us healthier alternatives when we want to snack. To save money, we use a list to shop by to try and avoid impulse buys, and have limited eating out.

I guess what I'm saying is I am thinking of her because we've been through a lot this past year and a half, either our own lives or together, and I am thankful to have a supportive partner that I can rely on and trust and believe in. I am thankful to have someone who loves me for me but is also willing to work with me to help me become a better me.

I hope this makes sense because I feel like I am rambling now, but I think I got the point across :bunchflowers:

My brother who has cirrhosis and is slowly declining physically and now mentally. He's had many, many close times to death in the past few years with it, but seems to pull through. However, i've seen a major decline in the last few months....I know he don't have much longer. He has always been there for his little sis and geeze how could I ever thank him enough.

He is not well enough, imo, to keep riding that motorcycle or do work around my house to help me, but he keeps going and it makes him happy. I know that so I just try and support everything he does.

All I can do is be there hold his hand when needed and try to prepare myself and my mom for what is coming....way too soon.

I hate that I can't make it go away.
I hate that he didn't quit drinking 20 years ago when we all begged him to get help.
I hate that it is out of my control.
I hate watching him slowly die.

I hate it.

Breaks my heart.

I love you bro!!!!!

My Momma...
Today I got a couple texts from her that threw me for a loop....

Mom: "Wish you were here, having Mousaka @ W.Shore diner"
Me: "TEASE!!"
Mom: "No I really do miss you xo"
Me..... I told her how sorry I am and a few other things that I hope made her feel better...

someone has to know the situation between the two of us...
in all my years, she has NEVER said that she missed me... it hurt because I know she really does mean it and I felt how lonely she must be. W.Shore Diner was our favorite place to go and we loved the Mousaka... Today, I pictured her there alone with lonely tears in her eyes as she sent me her texts....

People everywhere that feel strongly enough about something to take on a roll of "educator" to those that don't know about or, don't feel as strongly about the same thing.

Why? Because, I don't understand some of them. What's with the "force feeding"? I'm not sure that ever works. (Example of what I mean by force feeding, If I beat you with a bible, will that make you a Christian?) And why get frustrated/angry at having to repeat yourself to the next person, and the next? Sometime saying things more than once is very necessary.
Seems to me, these two tactics of educating more often than not, teach people to adapt a tuned out fuck you attitude about it. (and the educator) No steps forward, two steps back is the result. There needs to be as much, or more, compassion and understanding from the educator as they are trying to teach some one else to have. And having an understanding that, they will never be done repeating themselves, for the simple reason, people will never be done learning.

My former partner that I was with for 21 years. Getting ready to go camping and that is something we did a lot of. She also got my kind of over the top love for dogs and I was arranging my dog's food, etc. for the trip including his "blanky." I started to chuckle, then some tears came. Sometimes I still grieve the loss of that relationship even though it has been over 10 years since the break-up and it was not ugly. She is just one of those people that made a difference (a positive one) in my life.

She was gracious enough to let me launch my fledgling PTA career by doing some muscle testing on her and showing her an exercise program to help strengthen a little bit of weakness in her hip. She is one STRONG ole mountain gal and dang near kicked my head off when I was testing her leg strength!! Then we went to do a bit of shopping. I mentioned that I needed a flu shot for school. She was sweet enough to pay for it. When I thanked her she shot me this reply...."Don't sweat it,you're my guinea pig. If you don't get sick as a dog and start foaming at the mouth then I'll let Medicare pay for MINE!" Did I mention that Mama is way smart???

been very worried about her since she told me she fell very hard in my sister's kitchen...it took her a long time and much effort to get back up... my sister was out of town and left Mom with 2 vehicles that are broken down (trust me, I'm pissed about that one!)...mom said her ankle is bruised real ugly and "it's tender". I tried hard to get her to consent to getting it looked at, but all she say's is "I'll be ok." I'm very worried she's hurting more than she's letting on and worried about blood clots. She's just so fragile and it bothers me that she's there all alone.

She gave me a handmade quilt that she made especially for me the yr I got married. I put it back in the box and put it away so it wouldn't get messed up. That was over 20 yrs ago. My divorce will be final Friday...My roomie got up in the attic last night and found the box with the quilt in it and brought it down for me, which I'm very thankful for cuz my big ass wouldn't fit in the hole I had put it in, in the attic anymore.

So I'm sure I will be thinking of Nannie each night as I go to bed for the next while. :praying:

they've tought me so much about love and faith, it's amazing the love they share,

I feel very blessed that they grace my life with their unconditional friendship,

My grandpa, he had surgery to remove some cancer from the side of his face. They had to remove so much skin they took it clear down to the bone apparently. However, they grafted skin from his chest, and patched him all up, and now hes at home.

I worry, because hes 92 years old, and he doesn't even know where he is anymore. He is practically living on the mountain from his youth.

getting back to the gym, I miss him in a whole 'nother way...

I miss my partner, T...

he was a big, and I mean Big body-builder and power-lifter...today at dinner my son and I were talking about him, at the end he said "...and he was Huge"
(and he was)...maybe it was to hold a big heart...

he had a dangerous job with dangerous people, and he ended up getting killed...no time to say goodbye

I am thankful to remember him with such love...to have shared myself with someone who got me, and who loved me in the moment and exactly as I was...(as I did him, of course)

I used to have this thing that I wanted to wrestle with him...he would try and comply...I'd tell him to get into position and then I'd drape myself over him, clasp my hands so that I could take him down (ha!!) and then I'd say "now, don't hurt me, don't scare me, and don't be mean...go!"...and he's say "nee, how am I supposed to wrestle then?"...and, I'd say, 'you can, it will be fun...but, don't hurt me, don't scare me, and don't be mean'...he had a Lot of patience...we never really wrestled, it was just something I thought would be fun...in a second he had me down on my back and it was, always, fun !!

we had ups and downs and in between...it was, above all and all the time--real...

so today, I miss my T...and, I'm okay with it...I am really thankful to have what we had...and to know what it's like to be loved and to love with honestly, courage, grace, passion, intensity, and a whole lot of fucking fun!

Tammy is on my mind, she is my lovely wife. We was at the heart doctor yesterday and he keeps telling her if she does not stop smoking she cutting her life short. I understand that smoking is a hard habit but would not life be worth it. I told her i would not nag at her so with prayers we will see if she quits smoking

MISTYBLUE is on my mind. talked to that lovely lady a few days ago. love that Scottish accent~ ;)
Happy to hear after a 22 month court battle MistyBlue gets to visit with her grandaughter Katie finally and the visiting periods are being extended.
Misty is on my mind because she has been away for so long and I miss her avatars and sexy humor and light heart. Misty has not been feeling well but she is getting stronger.
She is on my mind because she asked that I extend a heart felt "Hello"! to all that know her.
Misty will be back soon but til then she is on my mind :)

Laura... a long time family friend. She is in the end of life stages of her courageous battle with breast cancer. She is like a favorite Aunt to my sister's 3 adult children and their children. They are having a hard time losing her. A HS friend of my brother-in-law. He has Alzheimer's and for the first time since his diagnosis, I am thankful that he really doesn't know what Laura has and is going through. Please, may she soon have peace.

This is a very good human being with a heart of gold. We will all miss her.

lots of people have been on my mind lately...old friends from high school, friends from different cities i've lived in and friends that made moves themselves...

over a year ago, i made the commitment to myself, and to these friends really, that if people were on my mind, that i was going to contact them...not just let the thoughts pass away...

it's been working....this morning i just got back three replies from ol' friends...each one has made my heart glad that i know them.....and it's been good for me too as they all were happy to hear how i was doing....

about a year and a half ago, an especially old dear friend and i began looking for eachother around the same time....we found eachother and still are like old pals...

so, yes, it's friends who are on my mind....a whole lot of the time...

Tim is on my mind today. He is a good man and a good friend, very sweet person. He has had a hip problem for about the last year or so and in severe pain. He had hip replacement surgery a few months back and at first, the surgery seemed to help him but now the pain is as bad as ever. He works and had to get a different vehicle to haul his wheel chair. I saw him the other night and asked him how he is doing. An involuntary tear fell from his eye and as he looked away seemingly embarrassed about the teardrop, he told me he is depressed. I hugged him, kissed his cheek and told him I loved him.

Some people sure have it rough.

My Dad. I know he is on my mind (and was) because of the mid-term elections. Although I am down about what happened yesterday, there is this part of me that remembers my Dad was very much like the people in what is being called the Heart Land that have lost jobs in huge numbers and will never see them return. Steel industry kinds of jobs, skilled labor jobs, car manufacturing jobs. Jobs that are hard but did pay well for a long time in the US that have been lost because of cheaper production costs in other countries.

My Dad wasn't educated, immigrated here, and would do any kind of work he had to make a living. He also supported labor unions back in the day because he saw child labor and sweat shops first hand. My Mom, too.

He became a business owner later in life (garbage collection), and had a good head for it, but was the kind of person that ran it out of his front pocket like so many of that generation. And he kept his word which was given with a hand shake. Honor. He'd give anyone a chance with a job and he always said that you had to pay people good wages and benefits were not a burden for an employer, it was just the right thing to do.

There were huge numbers of voters yesterday in the Heart Land that voted Obama in 2008, but did not now. Made me mad, but I also get it. How many are unemployed now, lost homes, had their retirement taken away? How many can re-train? fear was a big part of yesterday's elections.

I think my Dad would have been scared, too. The business he left behind remains in my family (my son and nephews run it today, 3 generations) and although lay offs have been avoided, how long will that be true? These are real people with real families from administrative, college educated types of positions to unskilled labor. Truck drivers, computer techs and a programmer, garbage collectors, recycling/Green workers and advisors, office workers, bookkeepers, managers, and mechanics. Real people!

Since my dad lived during the Great Depression, I think he would have done everything (as is being done) to not lay people off. But, if things don’t change soon, who knows! It would have troubled him deeply to let people go.

People like him in business do exist and I am tired of them getting lumped into the same categories as the huge mega-billion dollar corporations. Small independent businesses are not the same.

Maybe it's better my dad isn't alive. Damn, I miss him! I miss his horse sense and his honestly and reliability. And his giving a damn about people. I miss his integrity about an honest days work for an honest wage and being responsible for his obligations.

My other best friend from PA and her big galoot of a doggy.... she has such a bubbly, fun spirit and we always have so much fun. We especially loved watching her galoot and my half pint wrestle and romp so hard that our laughter hurt our ribs. Her galoot nearly broke my glass dishware once by getting stuck under my dinner table. We had so much fun that night; my half pint even tried to hide his "gator" under my bed to keep the galoot from chomping on it. It was too funny to watch half pint "think about" how to hide that darn gator. Hearing my friend's belly laugh just washed away so much stress from that hard week.

I loved chatting with her today; she makes me smile and think of good times.

Wish I had a good picture of her galoot....this is as good as I can find...

I haven't thought about Leslie for more than 30 years I guess, but O my God was she hot. I wanted her the minute I saw her, I thought she was the sexiest woman I ever saw. Wonder where she is now? She was from Texas.

Friends of mine that are Moms, and how awesome their fortitude and devotion are. There is an understanding that (most) Moms have about sacrificing for love. About standing and doing the right thing, in the name of love. How not to run when it's hard, how to use love to heal and pull closer, instead of pushing away. Not superficial fluff, no weak hearts, the real thing. Loving through the beauty and the pain that life serves. That's the kind of love I want. It's the kind of love I deserve. BTW :rrose: Butch Moms ROCK !

My dearly departed, my lil nephew and I took Christmas flowers to put on her grave today. We watched Christmas movies last night and this morning, it was her favorite thing to do around Christmas, we'd watch one a night the two weeks leading up to Christmas. She was here with us, laughing with us, I felt her. A tear or two slipped from my eyes this morning as we were watching The Search for Santa Paws, it's a new Christmas movie, my lil nephew asked me why I was crying, I just smiled at him and told him Vickie would have loved this movie, he smiled and hugged me and said I miss my Bickie too. He's such a good boy!

I'm thinking about my Aunt Ella
who died yesterday at the age of 92.

I remember her as a ball of energy, an accomplished seamstress,
just a beautiful lady....who smoked like a fiend and swore like a sailor
when the time was right.

She never had children, and when she began losing her
faculties, she turned to someone who may not have always
acted in her best interests.

When I got the call yesterday, I found myself speechless
as I was told there would by no embalming, no services.
Wasnt even an obituary in the paper today.

And this led me to think of how we have developed such wonderful technology and knowledge to help people live to ripe old ages,
regardless of their quality of life. And, how when their care becomes to complicated or too bothersome, we have become conditioned to dump
them in assisted living/or nursing homes in what amounts to very expensive old people orphanages.

And, when the end finally comes, we cant even take the time or
expend the money to celebrate their life and passing.

And this is pissing me off.

Just this morning I found an old address book with names of relatives and friends. I leafed through it and realized that most of them have passed away. I miss my family because I am the only one left, except for cousins and an aunt. I miss them because they were so dear to me and I loved them - still do - but it's just not the same. It's hard to go through life missing lost loved ones - but I am very thankful for my friends. Without them, I would have no one to share new memories with...

He died in a fire on Christmas day. I dont think I will ever experience a Christmas again without thinking about him and what a loss his death was to that community, who never really respected or admired him for the man of God he was...

My dad and my brother.

Me and mom went to the cemetary and put Christmas wreths on their graves.

My brother now has a headstone. I don't know why but it sorta made it more real.

We just hugged each other tight and cried in the cold rain.

But, somehow, me and mom felt their love for us.

We miss them both so much. It is really hard to accept somedays.

We got back in the car and started singing Christmas songs and tears tunred into smiles when we started remembering beautiful memories from childhood to adulthood.

What a blessing memories are.

Also, thinking about my Father and how he taught me this time of year means GIVING is much more important than what you get. We spent every Christmas Eve taking food and presents to those who were not as fortunate. I will always remember every face I saw during those visits.

It's possible they went away for the holidays, but I don't remember her mentioning that...and it isn't like her to not return a call. She's been under tons of emotional stress, and now I'm 1300 miles away...so I can't just swing by her house to check how she's doing.

My little brother.
He has found his faith and got the courage to ask for permission from our Catholic father to switch to the Lutheran faith. He is to be confirmed on April 10th. I am proud that he is taking steps on his path to his future, and that he accepts all forms of people, regardless of outside judgment.

a dear friend of mine who use to raise horses while I raised horses. She broke up her herd right after I did. Her health is starting to fall apart. Its been almost three years now since she has lived in the suburbs. We both wondered how long it would take us before our health would deteriate after our hands stopped touching a horse. Of course, my health was already affected by the car accident, but health issues not related to the accident crept up about two years after I let go of my last horse. She was hospitalized with organ failue from the flu and now has to have a second eye surgery. She doesnt even sound like herself anymore. She sounds...fragile. This is a woman who use to help me throw hay in my barn, and I, hers. Not so long ago....

Momma and Daddy..........Geez I'm gonna have to quit letting them out by themselves.....she/her Camry was assaulted by a deer this morning on her way to work, trashed the drivers front quarter panel, headlight, and some of the driver door. If that wasn't enough, when I went by to check out the damage, Daddy had gotten home and he came outside and says "Did you see my van?"....he turned to sharply leaving a gas station and ran into one of those concrete safety poles they put up.....he said I don't know how I hit that damn pole, I had just walked right past it....I told them....the insurance company was gonna write them off.....

HOLY Hannah!!!
We are gonna take his van keys and give the old goat *insert affection* a golf cart with side bumpers like a boat and an engine from a Barbie car!!
and your momma needs to turn in her fancy FAST car for a peddle car!!!
It cracks me up that he can't pick on her now about how she backed into a light pole at the Auction!! LOL!!! poor old goat!!

Oh yeah...and your daddy's golf cart needs a "back up beeper" with side air bags!! and momma needs deer whistles on her bumper!!!!!!!

Let's not forget about your daddy's little run in with the cops!!

And I'm world famous for my 4 wheeled deer slayer abilities...and I'm about due one, haven't killed a deer in about 10 yrs now LOL.....Actually Sweet offered to drive home tonight but that scared me worse then thinking about the deer.

My mother has been on my mind a lot lately.

I talk to her every week and we text, and

I try very hard to see her every couple of months.

I know her health is deteriorating, and

She seems a little flakier to me.

I am concerned about the quality of her life in the next few years.

I was lucky enough to have three godparents growing up... my mother's best friend Emily, and her parents, Eunice and Kurt. I called the women Auntie, but Kurt I called Papa, because everybody did.

Papa passed away when I was overseas and I couldn't come back. Auntie Eunice passed away in January and we're in Regina for her funeral. Auntie and Papa are on my mind today... Papa's loud, roaring voice; German sentence structure; cigar smoke; fat armchair; piles of newspapers; pump organ; packs of gum; being called "girlie"... Auntie's soft smile; red hair; large glasses; gentle eyes; mouth-melting cinnamon buns; long hugs; good advice.

When I was a kid, I thought drug addiction was a problem for people with mental or financial issues. When my aunt became an addict everybody thought it was a phase, until it became apparent that she was high all the time.

My grandparents threatened to stop her allowance and kick her out of the house. Nothing mattered but the drugs. She would do anything and ANYone to get high. Her actions eventually resulted in a very painful death. Thank you very much AIDS!!!!

She definitely educated us. I miss her terribly.(f)

And because I haven't felt this way for someone in a very very long time (years)... And because unless something bad happens (financially) I get to see her in less than 2 months... And because I'm worried that she may change her mind about me... And because I overthink things... LOL I'll stop rambling now...

My good friend Woody. She was an amazing, awe inspiring person, and a role model for butches everywhere. She was so tremendously supportive of me and my own losses, even while she was battling her own illness. I so wish she were still here with us, but she told me at the end that she had done everything in her life that she really wanted to, and that she had no regrets. I hope I can say the same when my time comes.

Woody did so many interesting things during her lifetime. She was a biker and inveterate world traveller, a builder, a chimney sweep, she drove a limo and taught English in China. (I can't help but laugh thinking of all those Chinese people who must 'pahk the cah' the way they do in 'Baaston'.) She was an archeologist, and worked on international digs, she smuggled gold in Thailand, and she raised huge amounts of money and awareness for women's issues with just as much energy and commitment as she directed towards the art installations she built.

Woody and her rainbow mohawk were iconic riding down 5th Ave in the NYC Pride Parade. Everyone looked for her, and everyone needed to get their picture taken with her. A photo of Woody at NYC Pride even illustrates the Wikipedia definition of 'dyke'. Woody passed on the morning of her home Pride Parade in Boston in 2009. Two weeks later NYC Pride was led by a huge double sided poster of Woody with her birth and death dates, festooned with rainbow feather boas. Some spectators burst into tears when they saw it.

Sometimes Woody is on my mind, and today is one of those days.

More than one person is on my mind today.

my godmother (Aunt) Irene. Miss her tremendously. She was the positive influence in my life that i needed desperately as a child, and we lost her far too soon to an aneurysm in 2000. i grew up very close to my cousins C & T (her children) who i continue to be close with to this day. ♥ A visit to her grave this week so i can leave her a gift that i am working on for her.

Also, my Memere & Pepere. Thinking of them a lot today as well, missing them very much.. i was blessed to have these wonderful grandparents for the time i did.. i learned so much from them, i cherish every bit of them i have in me.♥

And - my Nanny G. We do everything possible to bring familiarity to her days & holidays - and though she loses her memory so quickly i am beyond grateful that i get the moments to have conversations with her, even if repetitive. Her presence, her strength and her love are always there, & i spend time with her each and every day..She just turned 89 & is living with dementia. i am blessed to have her living in the nursing home i work at, so i can help with her care and be present for her. So thinking of her right now too, and happy that i can spend some Christmas time with her tomorrow, & volunteering with my Uncle..♥

I am thinking of my daughter, who has Borderline Personality Disorder. We have not talked since I have her wedding this summer. She is not helping herself and is blaming me for all her woes. In order to stop her from abusing me over and over again, I had to block her out of my life. Tough Love. I know its hurting me more than its hurting her but its also the only thing I could do to protect myself.
Nonetheless, I miss her especially during this holiday. We had sooo many traditions based around this holiday. I love her. She is my only living child. And I am SO proud of her for all the wonderful achievments she has made in her life. She is totally functional except where she is dysfunctional and that is in personal relationships.
I so want to see her. I dare not initiate to do so. I have learned she must come to me, when she is softer and not so turbulent.
So I do not have my daughter this holiday...and this brings such sorrow.Yet I have my chrissy and my sister and all of her grown children...so i am blessed...
