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 →
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 →
What’s New??
I love heavy rain when I'm home ... Torey and I had some incredible moments during times like this! But ... that's not why I'm writing right now. I just updated the blog site - kinda have an itch to help anyone who needs website needs. I'm currently helping a friend with her blog site... Continue Reading →
Das’ Senior Year Milestones
You’re right … it’s been a while since I posted anything. I’ve been kind of dreading this process to document the following milestones: My son’s senior year of high school: Spring season of baseball Senior celebration day Baseball Banquet Prom Graduation Yes, tears were shed before and during and even afterwards of all these moments....

Nita’s Statue of Liberty
Around 10 years ago, Torey, Das and I went on a spring break trip to San Antonio. Torey’s Uncle and his family who live in San Antonio invited us to hang out and celebrate his Uncle’s 45th birthday. This trip was so EPIC! Facebook reminded me of this moment a few days ago and the... Continue Reading →
Entertainment-n-Stuff
It’s been a minute, right? Sorry – I haven’t been doing a good job in documenting my moments as a damn widow. My bad. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed, but I won’t get into those details. I would, however, like to get into a certain aspect of the grief process and that is [insert drumroll... Continue Reading →
