Year number six. I wouldn’t say it’s getting better, but I do feel like I’m handling grief a bit better... and I’m finally embracing the fact that I’m allowing myself to feel happiness again. I also feel like his spirit is genuinely happy for me now. I used to have dreams filled with his discontent,... Continue Reading →
Between 09.10 and 09.11: A Call for Compassion
I’ve stayed off social media the past couple of days. I knew that what happened on 09.10.2025 would become another polarizing moment in our country’s history. And with 09.11 right after, my heart has been heavy. I’ll never forget where I was on 09.11. I was in my mid twenties, watching NBC with Katie Couric... Continue Reading →
5 Years of Loss
Okay so here's my lame attempt to write a poem for you, T-Mitch: Memories haunt me Yet they cure me Losing you has been the worst challenge I'm not sure how much more I can manage I'm doing what it takes to survive And on a mission to keep your memory alive Just know you're... Continue Reading →
Playboy Mansion and André 3000
I feel like I haven’t been dreaming enough lately or maybe it’s because I miss waking up and sharing them with Torey - now I end up forgetting them. I need to get in the habit of writing them down! I did have a funny one where I actually woke up laughing recently: My Uber... Continue Reading →
Joker
One of Torey's all time favorite songs was "Joker" by the Steve Miller Band. https://youtu.be/dV3AziKTBUo?si=Gj_wMoc4qdqXUhNS As you know, Das and I collect vinyl and he found this gem and gifted me with it recently: Torey used to sing "Joker" to me so often! After he left us and as I started to socialize again, I... Continue Reading →
4 Years of Loss
I’m sharing my thoughts here rather than posting a rather lengthy posting on social media, so if you’re actually reading this, then you must give a shit of our existence (Das and I) – so thank you! It’s been four years since Torey left us: 11.20.2019 – the official time is 9:08 AM, but it... Continue Reading →
Thank you, T-Mitch
Love is truly amazing - even in death I can feel Torey watching over us. I witnessed this recently to know this is a true testament of that! One of his business deals came into fruition and his legacy still lives on in the world of Eco Sustainability... truly amazing! So here's a little note... Continue Reading →
Oh “Dear Mama”
https://youtu.be/Mb1ZvUDvLDY I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to watch Allen Hughes's documentary, "Dear Mama." I won't lie ... it aired on 4.21.2023 and I felt like it was going to be a hard truth to swallow so I took my own time to watch it. Afeni Shakur is a legend in her... Continue Reading →
Horrible Poem BTW (just an attempt dammit!)
I think I started this attempt like two months ago and got tired with writer's block, so here it goes! You're not near But you're not far I want to talk to you And feel you I can only see and hear you in my dreams This confirms broken seams Your voice is still a... Continue Reading →
Flashback from June 2005 (Pics!)
Houston 2005 @ Memorial Park T-Mitch was still on call at work - therefore he still had his work badge around his neck and this ended up being a toy that Das played with on Torey's day off! It was humid, yes, but that's Houston! We were nothing but giggles that day! I can still... Continue Reading →
