Our Girl would have been 69 today.
Seems like yesterday.
Makes me so sad.

I’ll be there soon.

EVLYNN: Remember it is the “gift of life”
Tuesday, December 22, 20152015-Dec-22
Donated a double yesterday. That brings my total to 109.
In chatting with the nurses, they said “thanks because we are really short of platelets”.
Remember it is the “gift of life”.

EVLYNN: Yet another bad day
Thursday, February 26, 2015“Don’t be ashamed to weep; ’tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.”
― Brian Jacques, Taggerung

EVLYNN: Thanks, NJ MVC
Thursday, December 4, 2014You’ve heard me rant that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient!
Here’s another classic.
Thanks NJ MVC for sending me the renewal for Evelyn’s handicapped placard.
Now, I know, since there was no money involved, you could care less. (Her social security payment was recaptured within 12 hours of her passing.)
And, there was a NJ estate tax return filed with a copy of the Death Certificate.
And, there was a NJ Jury Duty notice returned with a copy of the Death Certificate.
And, there was car registration retitled with a copy of the Death Certificate.
And, there was her NJ Drivers’ License renewal returned with a copy of the Death Certificate.
So, I guess you felt it necessary to send me yet another reminder!
Argh!

MEMORIES: Ev’s last aunt laid to rest
Saturday, September 20, 2014
Sad!
What can I say.
Losing the threads that bind me to Our Girl. Bummer day!
From the Aunt Kay’s grave, you can see the 9/11 memorial at the cemetery.
At last, Aunt Kay is with Uncle Willie again.
[For those that have asked, she was 92.]

EVLYNN: 10,500 ml of my best platelets donated
Friday, August 22, 2014I was able to donate a “triple”. 10,500 ml of my best platelets. (Laff! Since it’s about 95% of my platelets, it must include my “best”. Fret not, the body replaces them in 24 hours.) I’m told that’s enough to help 6 people. Or more, if the “bank” is short, then I presume they “cut” them. Ev’s bags ranged from a low of 190 ml to a high of 320 ml.
Feel free to join in. It’s truly the “gift of life”.
One of the regulars was a “no show”, so can you fill in?
