| Well folks, I’m having trouble writing this now, but should have a while back. My Mother-in-law, Francie, passed away in February. She had Alzheimer’s and died from heart failure. She was my 3rd grade teacher at our elementary school. Now our mother, Regina, had a rough two to three months. She’s 86 and has congestive heart failure, and many other complications. She’s been out of the hospital since May 25th. She’s at home with Hospice care and getting morphine increased today. I feel it’s only a day? Or a few, but who knows? We thought she would have passed already. But only the Father Almighty knows truthfully. My wife and daughters were going to Alabama for a week or so and threw a monkey wrench in their plans. Please keep our mother in your prayers if you’re a spiritual person. I am sorry for this sad news, but wanted to get some prayers going for Mom. We have enjoyed our time with her, and know she’s in good hands. Take care and God Bless you all, Frank |
| I’ve had a terrible inner ear infection since Friday morning. Dr said my ear looked like a blister and if it “pops” I was to get into see her asap. Put me on augmentin and nasal spray, ibuprofen and said, lots of water and rest. Finally doesn’t hurt to read, equilibrium is getting better, so should be good to go back to work tomorrow. |
| Sorry this is late; For all who served, and are in service. We remember you, and all who gave the ultimate sacrifice. For our freedoms, and our future. Thanks to all of you, Amen |

| My dear friends, it is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to tell you our 25 year old son Quentin took his life Wednesday morning. He had seen 3 suicides in 1 year while in the Air Force. He was going to college, had a new job starting Monday, and a wonderful girlfriend. But he couldn't take the images haunting him every day, so he shot himself. He will will be buried on Monday. Please pray for our sad hearts, and lift our spirits. He will be extremely missed, but never forgotten, and we shall see him again someday. Thank you |
| Hello fellow writers, I was told to give an update on my health. Yesterday I was supposed to find out if I was harboring a cancer. Then 5 minutes before leaving for a Wichita cancer hospital they called. "Don't come in today for your lab or appointment, we don't have the results back from your bone biopsy yet. Come back the 15th and we will let you know and you also have 3 more ct scans of head, abdomen, and pelvis." Upset at first, but then quickly realized that now I can have water, a banana, and most importantly, Coffee! (go Lilly) I wasn't too worried since my diet is good yet, don't feel any worse than before. Just a lump on the back of my ileum, or hip. I can stand for 1 to 3 minutes then need to lean on, sit, or lie down if my back goes into spasms. So sorry to ramble on, but the only thing I have to report, is there's nothing to report. Thank you for all your continued support, prayers, and get well wishes. Trying to stay upbeat, praying, and as Pearl Jam would say, I'm still alive!! Yeah, yeah, yeah, Peace, TBW |
| I can't imagine how stressful it must be for you to be waiting for all these tests and such! God bless you! Be well and take care of yourself! And, yeah, eat chocolate, as jdennis01jaj advises.  |
| Sorry to be a party pooper for this year. Dec. 19th of 2017 we lost our older sister Linda, who was 58. December 31st of 2018 at 7:15 am we were all called in to a hospital to see our father, age 84 slowly slip as well. On New Year's Day at 5:03 am he passed away. He had congestive heart failure and double pneumonia. His rosary will be Friday night and buried this Saturday. I'm glad he's not suffering anymore, that he's in a better place, and we all got to say goodbye. I'm also glad I got forgiveness for being so ornery and wild when I was younger. Please give your family an extra hug for me. (he always told his grandkids to "squeeze me till my ears grow") I hope you all have a good year, many accomplishments, and a happier new year than I did. Hangin' in there, we have a lot of support from our community as well as family. Peace and hugs people, Frank |
| I'm sorry to hear that, hang in there. Grief is a difficult thing to deal with but one day it'll begin to get better. My mom passed away 11 almost 12 years ago and I can tell you, it doesn't get better quickly but it does eventually become easier if you allow yourself the chance to grieve properly and heal. |
| It's been a rough 3 months, and mostly the last 2 days. Well, my big sister passed away today at 2:45 pm. Her 5 brothers and little sister, along with her husband, and four kids all were with her. I'm thankful I got to say goodbye before she went. Our parents had an appt. with Dad's dr for Parkinsons at the same time she went. Faith, family, and friends...give them an extra hug for me this Holiday season please. Love you all, Frank |
| Greetings all! I finally have dependable Wi-Fi so youll see more of me now. I have missed this site so much. To recap quickly, My father had a heart attack Jan. 3rd. My father-in-law passed away on Jan. 14th. So my wife and I moved in with my mother-in-law since she has Alzheimer's. She is at stage 4 of the 7 stages. I've learned a lot about this terrible brain disease. To make things worse, she was my 3rd grade teacher. It's hard to watch her deteriorate, but we are enjoying the time we have together and making the best of it. Now to get to the 450 emails and 70 newsfeeds to catch up on this site again. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Keep pushing the pen from what comes within. Frank |
| Hello All! Just wanted to let you know what is going on in our lives lately. Our wi-fi is terrrible so I can't connect to WDC. But the house is finally finished as of Saturday. Our youngest has her last day of high school today, and is graduating Sunday. Last Saturday we got some info on ordering a headstone for my father-in-law. Grandma is doing ok i guess. (Alzheimer's is a terrible disease) Moved in last month but still have plenty of boxes to go through. All in due time. I miss checking out what's going on here so much, but have new wi-fi coming later this year. We are currently trying to get something better to work. Meanwhile, staying plenty busy. Miss you all a great deal, and hope to get back on here regularly soon. I may just have to sneek into work to use that computer. (How I'm communicating this now.) Take care, Love you all. Frank aka TBW |
| Sorry folks, but I have some sad news to share. My father-in-law passed away Thursday morning very unexpectedly. He was 78 and had a massive heart attack. Married for 46 years and was the primary caregiver for his wife who has Alzheimer's. My wife's brother is 45 minutes away and her two sisters are in Colorado 9 hours away from us in Kansas. So I may be moving temporarily which they have no internet or wi-fi. May be living in two houses for a while, but they, she is only 6 miles one way for us. So my life has changed very quickly, but now the days are dragging and I keep getting very emotional in mini bursts of tears-then I'm fine. Slept 5 hours since this all started and heard my muse say f this I'm outta here. So can't even come up with an elegy for Jim. One thing that keeps me going- had a good friend (Mark) die from a diabetic seizure several years ago. The crazy guy and good friend (Luke) that gave a little talk at the rosary the night before we buried Mark said, "Tonight we just pray for him, tomorrow we get to plant him and he grows again forever." So with that, rosary for Jim is Sunday night at 7 and funeral Monday at 10:30 am. Trying to let go of him, he was a very good man, and will be sorely missed by all. Sincerely, and may peace be with all of you, Frank |
| My eldest daughter, all of 24. Delivered our first grandson Wednesday morning! Garrett Lee S. was born at 9:24 am coming in at 8 lb. and 8 oz. measured 21.5 inches. All are doing well, and we are finally going to catch up on sleep tonight. The cord was around his neck, shoulder, and right leg! We have truly been blessed, in more ways than one. Peace to you all, Frank |
| I just wanted to give a huge shout out to the Angel Army! I was chosen to have my port raided this month, and did they follow through. Web Witch is awesome! For giving such insightful reviews and helping me out with various factions on my poems. Bunny was also beneficial in giving sooo many reviews and chatting with me. So again, Thank you to all the Army Angels for you time and generosity. Rockin' awesome Group!! Peace, TBW |
