I used to host this blog at Posterous.com until they closed up shop. It was a free service, but couldn't sustain a business. I moved too slowly to move things from Posterous to a new host, so it's taken me a couple of years to string things back together. I was reading through the posts from 2011 around the time of my mother's death and my father's transition. I developed a renewed appreciation of how I benefitted from being reflective and putting my feelings and perspectives into words.
I will add those old posts back into this hosting platform, adding the original dates to them. So if you think "I read this before", you may be right.
I also plan to post about how my Dad is doing nowadays, and what I'm learning as a son, a brother, a husband, and a family physician. Who knows what else I'll have to say.
