I started Hospice at home, prayers and emotional support appreciated. UPDATE: Our Beloved Monkey Flower Has Passed - 7 April 2020 - ljs

This may seem like an odd track, to some. But I find it perfectly uplifting. And MF never disdained of any of my techno tracks I sent her via here or PM's or whatever. It is quite nice to sit and watch the sunrise with in all honesty but it begs for earphones. Good ones. Miss our chats darlin, I hope Kitty is doing okay without you.

I miss her a lot. I miss my daily conversations with her. I miss hearing her voice. I miss her calls and voicemails to check on me. I miss her asking about stories and pics of her granddaughter. I have been rereading her favorite book and listening to her favorite songs. She has visited me in my dreams. I miss her tonight as much as ever. She is with me in my heart but still it hurts without her. It helps to know she is missed by so many. Thank you

We all miss her....cheers.

That is such a sweet post, AC.

My beautiful Flower... I remember you.

Right now there is a beautiful tangerine and salmon sky illuminating the silhouette of a tree often inhabited by monkeys.

Sending you love, monkeyflower.

I cannot get enough of Tom Petty. Please give him a hug from me in the astral!

Birthday Eve

She would call all of us 24 hours before the time we were born on our B-day and wish us happy birthday eve. (Her reasoning was that Jesus got a birthday eve so so should all of her sons and grand babies) She could rattle off the dates, times, and day of the week for all 3 of our birthdays. As well as very specific details of the days leading up to and days after we were born. She loved sharing those stories with us and and our children.

Today would be her birthday eve. I teased her every year that she had her birthday and mothers day so close together on purpose. I would jokingly send flowers on the 7th some years and tease that they were a combo gift. Or send her a B day and mothers day card in the same envelope.

I miss joking with her. I am saddened that i wont be able to place that call. In recent years she didn't want any gifts, just something handmade from her grand kids. We will make her something tomorrow. I will celebrate her B day quietly and personally. Happy Birthday Eve Mom. I miss you lots.

We were talking about our birthdays as both were coming up and only a few days apart and we would have celebrated in our way. I have been thinking about that, as I knew Gayles BD was near. Thank you for sharing and it made me smile. It will be fun making Birthday gifts.

Happy Birthday rewind and Monkeyflower. Such a beautiful tribute to her. Thanks for sharing those wonderful memories.

I have never seen someone handle the end of their days here on earth with such grace and dignity. She taught us all, and I am grateful.

She never truly did leave, for she is still alive in our hearts and minds, through you, her family, she lives on. Please accept my condolences, your beautiful mother will not be forgotten. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I talked to your mother on the phone only twice, she used to message me every time she could. Your beautiful mother conquered my heart with her sweet words and loved her, instantly. And it brings me joy that my beautiful Flower loved my Ecuadorian chocolates, she said that they are addictive and liked eating them for breakfast.

Few days ago it’s my birthday, and thought of her... I smiled and said, “let’s celebrate my birthday my beautiful Flower, you are so blessed in the arms of OUR BELOVED FATHER. My beautiful Flower wish me a happy birthday”



Now it’s my turn to say,

Happy Birthday Eve my beautiful Flower!

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful message about your mom. She was a very special person to me and all of us here, so I can only imagine how special she must have been to all of you, as you were to her.

Her stories were epic. I totally recognize what you are saying from the times your mom and I talked and I only had the privilege of knowing her for 4 months. She had such an adventurous mind, detailed. And she was so proud of all of you, her sons, her grandchildren and with more on the way. There was so much love in her words, also for hubby Joe. Every single time she mentioned how proud and blessed she was with him.

The trips she took with you to Belle Isle. Detailed, descriptive and with power and humor. Such a beautiful sense of humor. We laughed so much, even in those final days, even with the pain and the knowledge what was inevitable coming. I can see how much you miss that, also that call on Birthday Eve. But even now, I know she hears your call and smiles and is probably up to kicking a party up there in Heaven and toasting on her life with you and everyone and everything so precious.

You know, a loss like this always hurts terribly, but memories will never fade. Your mom will be in your hearts and minds forever. As she will be in ours. Always. And hopefully you were or are able to say your proper goodbyes to your mom and celebrate her life the way she deserves. With these restrictions over there, that must be putting extra weight on your heart.

Sending much love to you and the whole family and a royal hello to Kountess Kitty. And if any of you feel the need to talk or vent, Joe has my phone number, or email me at the email address your mom had from me or if you can't access that at [email protected]

Stay safe over there and know that you are never alone on your adventures either. Your mom is there with you all the way, for now and for always.

And Happy Birthday up there in Heaven beautiful Flower. I hope you are kicking up a party with dancing rats (not sure if they are up there as well..)



The pain and emotion is still there, with many of us, but to know you are in a better place, without pain, in the arms of your lost loved ones is a thought that balances that.

So I will toast to that and to you, till I see you again..

And to know this is a Caturday as well, means that Kountess Kitty has a bit of a birthday as well. There is no such thing as coincidence.

Wishing you a beautiful birthday in heaven. Many blessings your way. I wish that I could have met you in real life, but I feel I know your spirit well from the outpouring of love from your friends and family who must miss your physical presence dearly.

Namaste.

She did not die.

She just changed form.

I didn't know you, but I read your thread and sent prayers your way. Rest easy friend and prayers for your family and friends.

Happy birthday my beautiful Flower!

Happy Birthday in Heaven

I've missed you Sloane. Together we lift MF even higher.

Rest in peace and condolences to the family.

I missed your birthday and Caturday!

Puppy...my kitty, had fish for dinner. I made baked Pollack and she was very happy.

Happy Birthday, Monkeyflower! Free from pain and strife and dancing with the angels!

Maybe a few of those boodgie down rats as well :)

Love you!

Very sad to hear this. RIP, beyond all suffering, pain and doubt.
