Elixir for Life

You people amaze me and inspire me. I was reading a post by daisyface about baths and it brought me to my Noni. Noni was my x's grandmother but from the beginning I fell in love with this exhuberant lady. Noni enjoyed holidays more than anyone I've ever known. She dressed for each season.She...

Back in the 1980's it was a haven for starving artists, drug dealers and South American immigrants. My artist friend Michael lived on the fifth floor with a... Sign in to see full entry.

the C word

Cancer. Yes they told us the C word on December 19th, 1993. It was only eight hundred and seven days after my son's birth. I had bugged the pediatrician eighteen times about it and then he sent us to eight specialists and four different children's hospitals and upteen days later my husband of...

My son has picked to be the grim reaper for Halloween. I never allowed negative costumes, until now. I hand made the pirate, cowboy, or astronaut. I remember the sound of the cellophane face on a boxed costume. The ring of the box was all I desired. Mom herded us all through the drug store. She... Sign in to see full entry.

My parents had sex

"They must have had sex at least six times as that equals the number of children", my sister told me. I never saw my Mother without clothing until this past three years when I started becoming more the caregiver. When Dad lay in the hospital gown he could not even evacuate his bowels.Mother could...

"Mom please wait for me" I sit folded legs on the floor looking at the broken toilet lid that I need to order on line.The shower rained some misty air for my mild sinus infection. I tried to get up and put on my jammies... Sign in to see full entry.

Tommorow is the anniversary. Mom on the cell phone for an hour after midnight, driving home from Palos Verdes, thanked me for not mentioning IT again. I had called her to keep her awake -like a rolled down window and cracking sugar free gum. The repetition of the painted lines pulsing over and over.... Sign in to see full entry.
