As much as I love October it's a difficult month to get through.

5. It was a trying time, for sure

My dad had taken a fall, had a brain bleed, & was placed in a hospice home. That same day, my mom's older sister passed.

A week earlier, we buried my dad's older brother.

Such a weird time.

The worst of it all was every couple of days, the hospice team would meet to see if they were going to allow my actively dying dad to stay or if they would send him home to pass. Yikes! But they kept him &, sad as it was, it was a wonderful place for him to make his transition. He was a couple of months from his 89th bday & had been saying for months that he was tired & ready to go.

So it was all good. Part of life.

I've never had the pleasure of living in Canada. If I had, I'd still be there for sure! Lol i'm from the Chicago burbs. Still a huge culture shock & not in a good way.

But I got to see my 4 day old grand daughter yesterday. That's why I'm here.
