Spoke with Annemarie today. I mentioned to her about how more times than not, his stomach isn't emptying like it use to. She said that it sounds like he may be going into the final stages of ALS. When I had Rob settled with his "breakfast", I gave Carla a call and when she called me back I told her of my conversation with Annemarie. Well, she did some co...

I've had some time to reflect over the past few days and I want to put this down to help me clarify my thoughts.
I realize that I have been fighting, resisting, and wearing myself out trying to stem the losses that I have "perceived" over the past few months.
I say perceived because there's always the other side to loss and that is the creation of space for new things.
Many of you ...2 Recommendations1 Comment

Dress Up
Purgatory;
a musty closet with
the stale scent of cedar chips
at the bottom.
The scents of a home that remind you -
this is a family of four now.
A fractured fraction that tears your world apart.
A coat is hanging,
Daddy's coat,
still many sizes too big.
Tan corduroy
but layered like a quilt parade.
The warmth of a lifetime,
with leather-covered wooden buttons
bobbling against lo...1 Recommendation9 Comments -

Current Pain, Future Blessings
Monday, March 17, 2008
Someone puts out a lit cigarette on my retina. Alien strobe lights attack with guided-missile accuracy. Laser beams hold my gaze. No gentle, comforting looks that sustain the prayer that pain is temporary. Only searing brightness that pushes beyond where sight originates from.
I am a hobo being kicked upside the head in a fight over my cardboard box. Weekly I am tossed out of my body, ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -

this is one of the 20 songs that I wrote last year that didn't make it onto my new CD Toxic Charm
Playin' on the phone
Get another girl to moan
Now there's emptiness the call is done
Sure is a weird idea of having fun
Scrubbing down the floor
Like a thousand times before
Always smokin' jib until yer spun
Sure is a weird idea of having fun
You have ignored friendly advice

Here are some poems that have help me through this "never-ending" process of missing my Papa, my hero, my best friend. I know a lot of people can't say that their father is also their best friend, so I wonder why sometimes that mine was taken away when he was just that? Anyways hope these help you & I will add more. Love & hugs all my friends here xox
