Thank you, Reader. it's hard, you're right. Thank you xo

How sad. i'm sorry to hear of your loss. You have some beautiful memories, which i know are not a replacement for the real thing. i wish your family peace at this difficult time.

Nuthin' wrong with a big, honkin' ice cream sandwich. LOL

While i've not gotten Covid, it did a number on me and lots of others, too, i know. This week i managed to write and post a poem, the first in what 2 years? I am so very nearly finished with Kidnapped (working title) ... i have edited the first 6 chapters and finishing writing chapter 20. I will finish it. i was inspired to after events in the last week. my FiL has cancer he's been fighting it for over a year now, and on Saturday, my MiL called and said that he'd like to see everyone. So, we all went down to the Toronto Western, where he has been for the past 8 weeks. There's been just so much ... small strokes, catheters, chemo, rehab, a lot of discomfort and pain and so much more. My MiL spends each day there at the hospital. Often from 9 am to 11 pm, comforting and helping him. Due to Covid we cannot visit his room. But he has a super wheelchair, and he came down to the very big lobby/food court. I'd seen him last at Christmas time. He was thin, but on Sunday, he was not the same man. Skeletal is the best word i can think of. He barely knew us but would brighten now and again. He's on a lot of medication. i watched my MiL roll him in and my heart just broke. This profound sadness washed over me and i couldn't see how he'd come back from this. They cannot give him more chemo and he's in no way healthy enough for rehab. They are looking for a hospice that is pet friendly so his sweet cat can visit. He wants to go home or at least get out of the hospital so he can see her. Why am i telling you all of this? i realized that life is so fleeting. My attempts to end my own wasn't enough to show me that. i decided that i need to make changes. i need to finish things that are important to me. i need to stop worrying about things that i cannot change; that are not my a fault. I need to work less, which is going to happen, in the next 6 months or less, i hope. .. NO! i don't hope.. it's going to happen. i will either work part time or not at all. I'm a good writer ... i have 3 good stories that are nearly done and I'm going to finish them. Here's a small scene from chapter 6 of Kidnapped: Thanks for reading. Now get out there and live. xo

This one is very true.

They look super. They only need ice cream sandwiched in there.. But they are nice on their own for sure.

Cake is good for the soul.

cheeky LOL

All are full of meaning and life. If i have to choose one, it would be April 15

you all want to slap me now, dontcha?

Thank you, Wolfie. ❤️

Thank you, Parker. ❤️

Thank you, Reader. ❤️

Thank you. ❤️

It’s late and i’m sitting here Sleep just won’t come You’re on my mind In a few short hours I’ll see you Maybe for the last time Thoughts of life and death Drift through my head We were dealt different cards You and me But you took me in Loved me like i love Your son i’m grateful for these gifts Things are just as they were Ceaselessly The world turns The glass e

Nice autobiographical piece. Ethan was lucky to have you as his driver that night. I take Uber quite often. I've met some super people that way. Nice job, Jeff!

Writing for me, is how i express my creative side. It's my art. Maybe it does help me explore, but I'm not sure it does for me what it does for you @Comicality, but that's okay. We are all different and have different stories to share. Poetry helps me explore and write the world, my world. i like telling stories and hope they entertain and sometimes speak to others. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas.

i'm glad, and i'll look forward to reading something from you. All the best. tim

i can understand that .. my past is mostly in a box in my head, but it never completely stays there.. likely it never will. We just have to learn to stuff it back in and keep going forward. Thanks for posting what you did .. it came at a time when I've not written for over a year ... but i think i can again.
