Losing my flight, my troops and my responsibilities within a year of diagnosis was terrible and left me without a purpose, so I did the only thing I could...retire. When I

Hey y'all. Just checking in on everyone and seeing how y'all are doing. I have been sewing these up in the house since it has been horribly hot these past few days. I had these cut up a while ago and didnt finish sewing them up so figured it was a great time to get them done.
Tomorrow I have a follow up with the Neurologist tomorrow so we can figure out the next moves. Meds are not working to kill the ongoing migraine. It has helped it some but not completely. Guess we will see what they say tomorrow.
I plan on stopping by the tattoo shop to start planning my next tattoo. Need the tattoo therapy. Any guesses as to where it will be?
How are y'all doing?

Hey y'all. I didn't post on Em's birthday because I had a procedure and I am having a rough recovery. This is the hardest recovery from a procedure yet and its been rough just trying to do anything. Not sure if it is the anesthesia or just because I was not feeling well going in.

Time doesn't make this easier, you just carry it differently. The guilt, the sadness, the anger just settles different on your heart and soul. It is still there and there are times I go over things in my mind about how I might have done things better for Em. Maybe I couldn't but I will never know and that is my burden to always carry.
What I do know is that she will never be forgotten. She lives on in my home, in my studio.
I am gonna be spending the rest of the week resting and recovering. Hope y'all have a safe holiday and please remember to check on your people.
