I am seven years a widow and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm five years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to nine gorgeous kids, featuring them often here. I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, anything British, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. So happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading!

O is for old ways many still use today–some good, some should have never been used in the first place.

One is the prevalence of guns used to get what you want or what you think you deserve, as an individual or group. The horrible mash of violence in our country resembles a past older people like me hoped to forget is on the forefront every day.

Guns speak for these misguided or ignorant people now–they don’t want a solution or compromise. They don’t want to solve what they perceive as a problem in their small world, they just want to act out and they’ve been acting out with increasingly violent results.

M for Mariella. My oldest sister to be exact, and she passed away, 91 years old, last week. Appeared fine weeks ago and then developed pneumonia. She was ready to be with her husband who died a few years ago. I will miss her but remember how funny and protective she was to me and all the great memories we shared. They had seven children and a huge family that grew over the years. She insisted she was happy and couldn’t wait to join her husband. I take solace in her words.

❤️❤️❤️
