Restarting and resetting

First, I want to thank you anonymous for the hearts. It's appreciated, you have no idea.


It didn't happen on my watch but the elderly man that I had been caregiving for had fallen, broken his shoulder, had quickly deteriorated during his hospitalization and unfortunately died. This family is found of me and so I'm still caregiving for another family member for them.


I have some other heartbreaking things that have happened to me recently and so I haven't been making any appearances on DU.


I'm going to take a beat from DU for awhile.


Please be careful out there. 🌸🌻🌺
