Mom called about 30 minutes ago. Dad had a heart attack and was admitted to Froedert Hosp. in Milwaukee. I’m leaving now, even though she told me not to come down until I wake up in the morning. Like I could sleep. I never listened to my mother, anyways. I won’t be around today, if […]

I survived my night on call for hospice for the first time in 6 months. I’m unsure that I like that ol’ ball-and-chain feeling that I get, knowing that I’m responsible for 70 very ill home patients that span a 5 county distance. I don’t know how many times I looked at Chris that night

“Forget love, I’d rather fall in chocolate.†— Anonymous. I’m sitting here – willing myself to work. The work is piled so high that the framework of my desk is threatening collapse. Looks, to me, like another sleepless night in West Bend. (not exactly as romatic as Seattle) In front of me sits a cup
I’m a pretty easy-going, down to earth person. Easy to please. Easy to laugh. Easy to smile. Easy to . . . well, some things are better left unsaid. Let’s just say I’m easy going and leave it at that. I have a wide and diverse circle of friends whom I love dearly. Each of
