I don’t even know where to start! I re-wrote the beginning of this post at least six times already… all I can say is, “Good riddance #45!” My goodness – the past four years have been the darkest in so many ways… I kept looking back on 45’s inauguration and how surreal it seemed. It... Continue Reading →

I'm using this platform to share the story of the birth of Das ... I used to update this on Facebook but they no longer offer the Notes platform anymore! My son turns seventeen on 1.11.2021 and here's my memory: Back in January of 2004, we lived off of Chimney Rock & Highway 59 in... Continue Reading →

This was posted in one of my grief groups - I really needed to see this.

One of my fondest childhood memories was when I was in 3rd grade/class in India – at Stanley Girls High School. Don’t let the “high school” part of the name of the place throw you off … I can’t really explain so I included a wiki link! My parents had decided to take my brother... Continue Reading →

One of the things I miss any time I do laundry is reminding Torey to empty his pockets out before putting his pants/shorts/jeans in the laundry bin. He'd always forget and things like mints, lighters and money would end up in the load if I didn't check. He'd forget and one time I took it... Continue Reading →

While making spaghetti for dinner tonight I realized how long I had kept Torey's last dinner he had cooked - which was spaghetti as well. Das and I didn't eat it ... we simply left it in the refrigerator for quite some time. Finally, one day I realized the meal was still in there -... Continue Reading →

It’s been an agonizing year … I still have a hard time accepting losing T-Mitch. A whole year has passed. It’s just hard to believe sometimes and yet here we are in a life without Torey and with COVID. Talk about insanity! I’ve had the chance to go through our belongings these past few weeks...

I got to hang out with Torey in my dream last night. He was in good spirits and made us (Das and I) laugh. He got hungry and before I knew it he was devouring some chicken wings! Of course, wings, right!? They looked like the desi wings I make which were his favorite kind…... Continue Reading →

Well … the one-year mark is approaching, and it’s been heartbreaking to even acknowledge this. It’s still so hard to believe Torey’s gone sometimes. I’ve been clearing out a storage unit he used for his recycling pickups. We eventually ended up in using it as our own storage unit and man this was an undertaking... Continue Reading →
