Aww, thanks Judy.
I was so devastated by the vet error that he still refuses to acknowledge and Daisy's death because of him. I just needed a break from all related to Cushings. Then caring for dad,...

I know Sharlene, can you believe it's been over a year since this process started? Ridiculous

It looks like k have finally gotten all of the required records for the VA. My claim has Bern escalated to a supervisor. Now I wait.

No, he did not. Philadelphia handles all VA death benefits and they're horrible! My local VA also said the same. Praying a lot.

Spent Memorial Day at the ER. Poison ivy on my forehead, cheaks,...

Terry,
I've involved a Rep from Senator Blumementhal's office.

Enjoy your Memorial Day everyone !

I've contacted Senator Blumenthal's office. The VA in Philadelphia is in charge of the insurance and they are HORRIBLE. Now they're insisting that I prove that dad had dimentia since according to...

Still no luck with finding a job. This is ridiculous and now the VA doesn't want to pay dad's life insurance money. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thankfully, it was the whirlpool tub downstairs. I use the upstairs bathroom most of the time.

Doxies have the best personalities. All 3 cats face-snuggle Bella. The love her! It's adorable....

Thank you everyone. Last night, the downstairs bathtub - one of the pipes blew! Bathroom flooded. Spent today dealing with that.

Yes, I have another. She a tweenie I think, Bella ♡

I'm sorry to have been MIA. Still no job prospects, I even combed the mall!
Very, very worried about finances and losing hope. Last night, a pipe burst under the bathtub in the downstairs...

Thank you Sharlene. I hope that your holiday was wonderful!

Oh Addy, I'm glad it helped!
Merry Christmas everyone!

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
AT RAINBOW BRIDGE

'Twas the night before Christmas, at Rainbow Bridge too.
We Bridgekids were thinking as always of you.

Thanksgiving was fine. Chris' mom was visiting from VA. I like his parents. We're having unseasonably warm weather in CT. Loving it!!!

Missing the good night phone calls from dad. Unless he...

I know someone who looped a stocking around the middle of their dog to help support them for a while. This allowed the stretched tendons (when the knee pops out, tendons stretch and the knee will pop...

Thank you Addy. Hope you have a wonderful TG.

I wouldn't have it any other way. ♡

Marianne, you are absolutely correct! Even the precision that the commander displayed while he saluted my father was amazing! Almost robotic in flawlessness. Dreading Thanksgiving actually. My...

Yesterday we said a temporary "goodbye" to my father. I am humbled by the love and support of family, friends, and neighbors who were with us. Dad was an amazing person who touched so many lives!.

The last thing that I could do for dad was to write his obituary. <3

Ralph Douglas Howe, 82, beloved husband of the late Lillian Genevieve Howe (Wabalas), passed away on Friday evening, November...

Once again, you'really all here to surround me with love as I grieve for another member of my family. I can't believe that both of my parents are gone! I'm truly heartbroken. Dad wanted to come home...

My heart emoticon broke at 7:30pm tonight. We honored dad's wishes and took him off of the ventilator tonight. He passed away surrounded by all of us which he made him happy. He couldn't speak, but...

Dad is a Navy veteran. He served on the minesweeper "Verden" during the Korean war and was one of the people required to wrap the engine pipes with asbestos. They did this with bare hands and no...
