I am still here

I am still here.  Reeling from life's changes. My father passed on February 22nd. I was there, by his side, holding his hand while he took his last breathe ...  It has affected me profoundly. I did not have a good relationship with him.  I have found out through grief counseling that the relationships that are characterized as less-than-good are actually the most challenging post-death for resolution.  

Dolly has a confirmed diagnosis of Albinism.  The next step is to meet with the genetics unit at Sick Kids Hospital.  I am looking forward to learning more about it.  

As for the weight-loss, you can probably guess that it is not going too well.  All things considered, I only gained 2 lbs through the hospital time and week-long funeral event.  Now I'm trying to find the space and time for self-care.  

Thanks for stopping by and checking-in on me.
