Suzy123's bio
Retired about 6 years ago and left a 30+ year marriage from verbally abusive husband. Moved back home to take care of my elderly parents and my younger sister. My brother, the oldest of us three siblings, died 8 months ago from a massive stroke. My sister died last month from an uncommon form of cancer called mycosis fungoides. So now I'm taking care of my elderly parents. My father is 88 and has alzheimers; my mother is 89 and has beginning stages of alzheimers and cancer. I have hospice coming in 2-3 times a week to help manage her pain and health. It's hard to see them both going down so fast. Mama and daddy will be married 70 years in four months (January).
I love to read when I have time, have enjoyed writing poetry for my enjoyment and my nights are used watching shows and movies on Netflix. All the years that I worked and raised children I missed a LOT of good shows. Now I'm catching up. Just finished watching "Friends" series!
Another favorite pasttime is playing with my two dogs (well, one belonged to my sister and we've adopted each other). My girl is Lucy, although I have been known to call her Lucifer. My adopted girl is Bella. She's adjusting without her mom but Bella, Lucy and I help each other along the road. Yeah, I love my companion dogs.
I live in Alabama, along the Gulf Coast. Summer here is almost unbearable with heat indexes of 115 or higher. Too hot to take my parents out of the house and I can't leave them alone so we hibernate during the summer and winter.
I'm sorry...I tend to get wordy sometimes. That's why I look forward to hearing more from the Silversurfers on their interests and lives. Looking for more points of view on life.
