February 5, 20223 yr Oh no. Was it his heart? I think he talked about an inherited condition he was being treated for. Blessings to his family and friends.

Really sucks he seemed like a good guy.

March 3, 20223 yr Nancy. My neighbor of many years -51 , died last night. Probably a heart attack. Sudden deaths are hard and take time to process. I went to bed after Uncle Joes speech and missed all the commotion of the medics, ambulance etc. being here. Slept right thru it -but I knew something was wrong when I woke up this morning to a missed call from my son. He told me what happened. We just left Paulo, my sweet mexican neighbor who is just devastated. I wonder if I will die here in this place or somewhere else? She took care of her grand kids and everything seemed so normal just days ago.. She also took care of her mother in her old age moved her in with them and she also died here. Nancy always called you baby. Jesus. Shocker.
March 22, 20223 yr I’m posting here again. You know I’m old and everybody is dying. It is expected to bury your parents. My good friend just lost his Mom-88. A good life. Doesn’t mean it’s easy. I’m telling you it’s not. It’s sucks what I know they will go thru. Family quarrels and selling the farm. I can only lend my support and show up. That’s it. All I can do. She was a fierce lady. Mr Di is cooking her breakfast.
May 23, 20223 yr Tomorrow is 2 yrs. for Mr. Di. I took the day off and so did my kids. We'll be back down at the bay working. I hope by his birthday Jul 1 the place will be mostly finished. There are still some days I can't believe he's gone and I'm still here. I did tell him I'd be right behind him. I have some wonderful people in my life and lots of support so for that I am grateful and it helps me to keep on going. Grief does change with time. I am glad I don't have the nightmare of watching him take his last breath over and over, and leaving him in that hospital bed much anymore. I still take an anti depressant but have not needed to up the dose so I'm coping as best I can. Challenges and all. I've shared a couple of those firsts and challenges here. Still recovering from the bats in the furnace ordeal. This is the first year there is no garden being planted. There's a first time for everything. I think he would have wanted the cottage finished instead of having canned green beans on the first snow fall of the winter.

Wow, not being here for a while I oddly feel like I’ll still run into Herb and PSSD. I remember driving to CE’s house with Pargs and hanging with him (brkmsn), etc. CE is gone too…man. RIP CE. Another awesome dude.

I remember sending him some Eagles beanies. We were talking about meeting up somewhere. That was a real terrible time. He had a lot of peeps here that loved him.

We all know the risks. He was very high functioning- worked hard by day and drank by night. Smoked 2 packs a day. Whatever you choose Prime I hope you have the support you need. Take care.
