This is Comforting

A dear friend, Brotha Ed, shared this with me: Torey and I often talked about energy and how we believe one never truly goes away once you die. I find this comforting and understand not everyone believes in this or agrees with this train of thought. Neither of us ever had the drive to be... Continue Reading →

Das | Dreams | Detours

24 weeks in … it’s hard to believe we’re in the sixth month since T-Mitch’s tragic loss. Six months … never thought I could go this long without him and it’s hard to accept the notion of having to live like this until my own death. I truly appreciate those of you who have been...

May 3rd – a National One

So apparently May 3rd is National Widows/Widowers Day in this country - June 23rd marks International Widows Day. I had no idea these were even a thing! I'm not sure how I feel about these days - I understand the need to recognize people in this category. I truly do. But ... do they have... Continue Reading →

Running on Empty

Emptiness = Loneliness There isn't a moment that goes by where I don't think about what T-Mitch would say or do. I found myself telling a long-time friend that Torey was the only constant in my life I truly relied on with every being of my soul today. That's a fact. I moved in with... Continue Reading →

Earth Day 2020

For the past 13 to 14 years Earth Day was always one of Torey's busiest days. Sometimes Das and I would hardly see him until he came home after attending events / conventions, networking and trying to do better. He would not have liked being quarantined this year - especially on such a monumental one:... Continue Reading →

4.20.2020

Yeah, being quarantined makes me wonder how T-Mitch would have handled our day-to-day all of the time... especially today. If you knew him - like truly knew him, then you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who didn't - I'm not going to apologize: there was a reason why you didn't know!... Continue Reading →

Shooooooower Shotttt!!!!!!

This is something Torey and I didn't share with most of you. Das knows about it because well - he's our son and knows what happens at home. Every evening once we were in the process of getting cleaned up before going to bed, of course, we'd shower. Any time one of us stepped into... Continue Reading →

“Neena” by T-Mitch

I found a poem Torey had written about me (I believe he wrote this in 2002): Love as intense as a brown mahogany sweetThe warmth of your soul makes mine complete A smell as fragrant as the graceful windA taste that controls the power of man Aesthetics equipped to win hearts overHer eyes are as...

The Dreamer

I had a pretty vivid dream a few nights ago. Torey and I were in a house and we had company over. He was pouring our favorite tequila shots and he pulled me aside to show me something he bought. I don't know if you know this about him, but he always picked my perfume... Continue Reading →

Go Away, Coronavirus

I often find myself wondering what Torey would be saying right now about the Covid-19 / Coronavirus … Initially, he would have been appalled and thrown the middle finger up to anyone who was trying to be cautious. LOL! But, if he had heard the concern in Tran’s phone call to me on Monday I... Continue Reading →
