The tide is high



Sorry for the absence lately. Things are afoot. Lots of busy things to attend to.

Also, my mother was admitted to the hospital today. She thought she had the flu. Instead, she had dangerously low sodium levels in her blood. She admitted that she has been on a low-salt diet (which might mean "no salt" to her) because of her high blood pressure. I think it has a lot to do with all of the hoopla surrounding the doctors insisting that my dad go on a low-salt diet before he died.

I also think she is severely depressed and blames herself for my father's demise.

Thanks, Dad. You left one hell of a mess.

Did I mention that I've been having a hard time with my own feelings of anger and disappointment?

Yeah.

Say a prayer/send your thoughts for my mom, friends.

I hope your Mam gets better soon.

As I said before these down days get further and further apart, next time you are down give little Amos a cuddle, I'm sure it will pick you up. It's what I did with my Nephew Tomos.

Yup, if it ain't one foot, it's the other that's rearing back to kick you squarely in the groin.

Dangit.

Keeping your lovely mama in my thoughts, lady! I hope she finds peace with herself over the loss of your father.

And I hope you do, too. Just keep sharing the love with her! And never underestimate the healing power of a little Amos-lovin'! Baby kisses are the best.
