WHO is on your Mind ... Why? - Page 12

My brother, his wife and their young family.

My sister-in-law's father died this weekend after a battle with cancer. My sister-in-law is Japanese but lives here in London and whilst she travels back regularly, unfortunately she cannot make it back home in time for the funeral.

A friend in a mountain state..She has had a rough year, but is doing really well now and is very upbeat. I'm happy about that. Do worry about the storm and how it will effect her area.

Julien · 10-28-2012, 07:15 AM

A lovely Lady who I am privileged to know, because I care what happens to her and I know she is having a difficult time right now. I hope she knows I am there for her.

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.

Thinking about all my friends from DC to MA and the effects of the hurricane. Being a native Floridian I know the impact these big storms and can have. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Just remember Im just a little south of you and able to help you if you need it.

sylvie · 12-24-2012, 04:52 PM

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..♥

starryeyes · 12-24-2012, 04:58 PM

My Grandma Wilma. She died from colon cancer June 30th of this year. It's my first Christmas without my grandma

I love and miss her terribly.

MsTinkerbelly · 12-24-2012, 08:29 PM

My mom...she made the holidays so beautiful.

Soft*Silver · 12-24-2012, 08:52 PM

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...

My friend and former co-worker from HomoDepot. We reconnected and had a nice catch up talk... I told her about all of y'all here and how nice it was to have this place. I'm hoping she will join here.

SFvince64 · 01-22-2013, 07:01 AM

Tonight I'm thinking of my sister in law. Her father passed away yesterday and I'm sure she's quite broken hearted over it. My brother and his wife took care of her father during the last 15 years of his life so they were pretty close. He spent every holiday with them so I'm sure they'll miss him a lot. RIP Bob.

Blade · 05-03-2013, 05:12 PM

The Christmas Elf is on my mind and in my prayers. The daycare called and ask that she be picked up because she had a temp of 102. Before LBH could get there to pick her up her temp. went to 104 and she started having a seizure. At the hospital they couldn't find anything wrong with her. Last evening her temp went up to 104.8. She went to the Dr this morning and they still don't know what is wrong with her. So she is who is on my mind.
