Tara and I hadn’t spoken for 16 years but when she friended me on Facebook in 2009, clicking “accept” was a no brainer. I messaged her immediately.

Ms. Mitchell!

Do you ever age? Bitch.

p.s. Hi Tara!
p.p.s. You look lovely!

She responded…

toads struggle with death

It is sad to say that I’m grateful that my father passed away, while on a cruise in the Caribbean.  I don’t believe that I could have stood by and watch, when the time came and he was no long able to do the things he loved.  Dad never liked to depend on others.  The only regret is that I didn’t take the opportunity to make things right between us.  What I struggle with now is the reality of his death, now there is an overwhelming sense of loneliness.  I just imagine that everybody goes through a death in the family at some point in our lifetime.  I never thought it would have been my time.

  1. Oh Chris my heart goes out to you for your loss. I pray you will grieve the man that gave you life and undoubtedly loved you even if you didn’t see eye to eye, which happens it seems between fathers and sons. The love you have for him is forever don’t ever forget that. I will pray for you to have strength and peace. ~~Len
