So many parallels between Nature and our lives. This is one example…
Light At The End Of The Tunnel?
I was re-reading the last few posts. Hard to believe a year has gone by.
Zero Balance
And just like that, we are clear. Zero balances from all hospital bills and our name cleared at the collections agency. More accurately: “just like that”. It...
So Hard To Make A Payment
I’ve never thought it will be this hard to make a payment and close an account. Yet here we are in December of 2021 and apparently making a payment is way to...
This Is Not Helping
I believe there is such a thing as overcommunicating. In many cases it is not very harmful. Here are a few exampels: you might just hear the same thing multi...
Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving is the start of the Holiday season. At least for us. Kicking off the last push before the end of the year.
The CEO
I intend to use this write up to close this chapter. But I have to get this out there as how ignorant that jerk CEO was is blowing my mind. And he has the ti...
There’s Nothing Like Morning Screaming
She woke up. Calmly asked to borrow my softball. I use that to loosen my muscles from time to time. She wanted to use it because her calves were bothering he...
I’m Pretty Tired
“I’m pretty tired. Think I’ll go home now.” said Forrest Gump. I feel the same. I feel pretty tired. Except I have nowhere to go.
OOPS! Sorry!
So letters meant to be invoices for the hospitalization started rolling in. Oh, the wonders of the modern medicine in the United States!

Here is an example to think about: with the “for profit” healthcare system in the United States, the way it works is that you agree that you are liable for a...
Nothing To See Here
It was a gorgeous sunny morning.
Hot Potato
Have you ever played the game Hot Potato? (here is a short description)

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Let’s go through this list from worst to best. Just so I can finish a post on a positive note for once…
The New Normal
Since the hospitalization, our life has changed.
Fucking Post-It: If How Mental Health Is Handled Was a Patient…
When anyone seeks medical help with mental health, the person is exposed to various questions. Actually questions after questions, trying gauge where they ar...
Weeping In the Kitchen
My family says they never see me crying. That is true. Kids always say they only saw me crying once.
Who Stopped The Rain?
Since the F-bomb storm some crazy things happened. In general everything is more calm.
F-bombs Flying All Over The Place
I guess we were still on that rollercoaster ride. Strapped in. Front seats.
Riding the Rollercoaster
I actually quite enjoy riding rollercoasters. Through the years we had our fair share of riding some.
Tell your story…
The posts you are seeing here are more just random thoughts from a parent’s perspective. Various moments that I captured from our experience dealing with cer...
What Did They Do To Her?
Finally we had the call and were told that we can come and pick her up.
Reality Sets In
Here is the thing: seeing your child locked up in a prison cell looking room in the ER for almost a day is hard. Watching your child carried away by an ambul...
It’s OK, Dad!
She was in the prison cell looking room the whole night plus most of the day.
Guess What: Fake It Till You (Don’t) Make It
It all started with a cheerful text that afternoon: “GUESS WHAT!” It was great news. Only to come home a bit later with cried out eyes. I was told that was a...
Fuck You!
Memories are interesting. Some I can recall pretty accurately, some I can barely remember and some I don’t remember at all. Then there are those moments, whi...
