I can explain. 

I used a free blog service, Posterous, which had a lot going for it: free, very easy to use, and easy for posting an image or a gallery of images. That was all I needed. What it did not have going for it was a sustainable business plan, and Posterous folded. I salvaged my posts from 2009 to 2012, and am releasing them back into the wild a few at a time. 

Unfortunately, I didn't give much forethought to how that would feel to a current-day reader seeing these posts for the first time. The chronological sequence is scrambled. My mother may seem to die and resurrect. That is not historically accurate.
