There are those of us who have always celebrated our birthdays and those who dread them - for whatever reason. Leaf and I acknowledged them and, in the case of the 'round' ones and the 'middle' ones, as we called them, would have a party. As a rule, we dissuaded present-giving but if people were … Continue reading A VERY SPECIAL TREE →

A NEW AND EXCITING ERA I've just read through my last post 'THE FINAL CHAPTER' written in January, to remind myself of how I was feeling back then. It was very hard to relive the last moments of Leaf's life but I needed to. In the Comments, a follower, Susan Edwards - Hi Susan - … Continue reading PASTURES NEW →

My beloved Leaf passed over at 05.20 on the 18th December. LEAF AS WE WILL REMEMBER HIM The time since has been a blur of confusion from which I am doing my best to achieve some sort of equilibrium. FLOATING DEPARTURE For all those who knew and loved him and those who have faithfully followed … Continue reading THE LAST CHAPTER →

(Posted on Pot Pourri, May 2014) Why have I selected this post to kick-start DOODAH into being again, albeit I'm going off on a very sharp tangent and will continue to do so? It's pertinent.

They didn't know I was coming, so this was most encouraging. He's being well looked after. We spent an hour in his room. I noticed he's slower at responding to … Continue reading AN UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL! →

(I couldn't put this in my Reply Section for obvious reasons, but I thought I would share David's thoughts) Dear Sue and Friends, This is from my phone because ATT (which is owned and part of the criminals behind the NWO and PlanDemic) has simultaneously cancelled millions of SIM cards that are specifically for internet … Continue reading A VERY LONG RESPONSE TO WHAT THE HELL! →

Now, perhaps more than ever, we could do with divine intervention, but really it's up to us, the people, to get ourselves out of this apparently never-ending horror. Having said that, asking for guidance is a good idea. Some situations are so strange and scary that we need a hand to hold.  REASSURANCE Whilst I … Continue reading GUIDING HANDS →

There’s no denying it, the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease can be more than a normal human being can tolerate and cracks will inevitably begin to appear in the carer's armour.  Teetering on the edge of an outburst is not good for the immune system, which we're busy looking after at the moment, as we should be, … Continue reading HARD LESSONS →
