Bill will forever be in my heart.
Yet another Sad Saturday here at Casa Tipton-Kelly.
For the rest of my life, I will always miss that wonderful man who insisted on coming in to my life on that rainy July day in Philadelphia in 1964.
I am so thankful Bill never gave up on me.
These days I am comforted by my many memories of Bill and thankful that I had so many years with him.
I lead a comfortable life now, living out what remaining days I have left on this earth. This earthly existence because I am confident that our souls to ascend to a heavenly plain after we exit our old, tired and worn bodies.
Bill was so tired when he died last February 22, 2024 at 12:20 AM early Saturday morning. He wanted to go but he didn't want to leave me. But it was his time.
I was so fortunate than many people in that I had such a long loving relationship with this wonderful man. I really don't have anything to complain about.
Bill did not die in pain like so many. Yes, he was in a great deal of discomfort because his body and brain was failing him. What ultimately killed him was his brain short circuiting, "cerebrovascular disease" so says his death certificate.
I hated seeing him the last three days of his life at the hospice center where he received no food or water. I can't help but think me must have been suffering but I was assured by those at the hospice center that he wasn't aware of what was going on. He was unconscious the whole time I was with him. One time when I was holding his hand and whispering into his ear that I loved him, I felt his hand tighten on my hand ever so slightly. I would like to think somewhere deep in his well of unconsciousness that he heard me and was sending me a signal.
Since he died he has been in contact with me, mainly through telepathy and the blinking of that one burned out Christmas light over the curtain rod in our living room. For the last three weeks that light has been out but when I received news of the death of my former boss at the hotel, I wanted to tell Bill but of course could not. And wouldn't you know it, that evening, as I was doing the dishes, that light came on. That was Bill telling me that Ted (my former boss) was "up there" and they were "doing just fine." And I believe him. What a comfort that Bill still stays in touch with me.
These days, as autumn descends upon us (my favorite time of the year), I am living a comfortable life. No impending medical treatments. Yesterday I had a wonderful handyman to a superb job on paining my window cornices. He was so kind to me.
Pat and I continue our long distance relationship. Yes, he's still having major problems with his druggie neighbors and is pursuing legal action against them along with the neighbor on the other side of their three house units all next to each other.
Each day we're one day closer to the presidential election. Kamala is going to blow The Traitor Trump out of the water come November 5th. Trump and his traitorous enablers will of course try to overturn the election but the will of the people will have spoken. I'm hoping for a completed Democratic takeover of the presidency, House and Senate. For a generation. Yes, that sounds about right. Next up.....the Supreme Court.
And that folks is the news from my little speck corner of the world this Saturday morning, October 12, 2024.
Have a great day everyone!
