Just feeling pretty low tonight [View all]

A year ago my darling was home from the hospital. He was only home for just under 2 months that last year. Over there was the hospital bed flanked by the bipap machine and the oxygen concentrator .. the hoyer looming like a crane next and the big oxygen tanks, and the chair lined up against the hall for the trips to dialysis...

It all seemed so hard at the time, and I guess it was. But I could have kept the routine going for years. Unfortunately he couldn't.

The shows we used to watch together with chuckles and snark are still on.. the comments still spring to my lips but are shared only with the dog.

This was the last picture.


That's our Molly lying next to him.
I miss him so much
