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 →
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 →
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 →
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...

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 →
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 →
I can't seem to concentrate on much lately. I tried to watch an episode of a show I've been watching, I started it and completely lost focus. By the time I looked up the show was 10 minutes in and I was lost. I tried to start watching it from the beginning again, but nope.... Continue Reading →
I've been walking down memory lane a lot lately, remembering different phases of our journey together. I'd like to think Torey can hear my thoughts. Reconnecting with friends from the past has brought more memories to the forefront. We had some really good times together and I enjoyed growing into adulthood with him. It was... Continue Reading →
I still go through moments of realization that Torey's no longer here. It hits me the hardest at night. He's no longer here to lay beside me in our bed ... no longer here to become the human pretzel we so often did while we slept. It's insane how inseparable we were even while sleeping. ...

I had mentioned I would write about our first date. Before I do, I just want to say that I will not be mentioning any names of anyone who was involved that night - mainly out of respect for them. Also, some of you may feel involved as I mention some things... I don't mean... Continue Reading →
