He had money...and he gave most of it to me. I was spposed to get his ashes, but when they found out about the money, they wouldn't give me his ashes. Well, that's okay. I know what he would say. "It's just an old body. It doesn't matter." I told him that would happen...so, at least I wasn't surprised. He didn't want to go to a nursing home, and we made this agreement seven years ago. I promised him I would take care of him until he died. I am glad he didn't have to die, hooked up to tubes or forgotten in the back room, of a nursing home. They were talking bad about me...saying I only did it for the money, but let me tell you...I couldn't go or do anything without taking care of him, and it was a 40 mile round trip over there that I made every day at least once, and sometimes as often as four times a day. They were too important and too busy to be bothered with his care...so leave it to me...my time isn't valuable like theirs. I guess they thought I should have done this for free. It isn't that I wouldn't have. I couldn't afford the cost of driving over there and back every day...and the hours it took to take care of him. He did nothing. He didn't even flush the toilet. I took care of him, his house, his yard, his truck, his taxes, brought him a hot meal every day, and kept the fridge well stocked for him. I brought him books, magazines and movies and sat and talked to him. I treated him as kindly as I would want to be treated. The last 4 years of his life, he never stepped foot out of his house. I kept him alive....when they wanted him to die...simply by being there and making sure he was never around anyone who was sick. He had emphysema so badly, he couldn't walk to the kitchen without difficulty. He was a very intelligent man, well read but extremely difficult because he wouldn't do anything he was supposed to do...like not smoke, eat right, etc. I'm not a saint. I got paid for taking care of him, but if anyone doesn't think that is a burden to take on, and one that went on for years...think again. I have no regrets though because I was very kind to him, and he died knowing I was there, and in his own house and that is what meant the most to him. The week I spent sleeping on his floor, I had to bring all three of my dogs...so I was up at daylight, walking the dogs, and all around him, live his family. They had to have seen that or my truck in the driveway all night. You know they had to have realized something was wrong...but not one of them called or came by. Probably afraid I would ask them to help do something.

I just checked and the albums are set to everyone. I will try to figure out what the problem is. I do think you have to be a member of facebook. I think there is a link that you can click so that anyone can view the pictures. I will try that and maybe it will work.

Our ghost followed us here. I knew he would. I call it the poltergeist but it isn't like a true poltergeist...I don't think. Activity increased before we left, and has been active here. Before you think I have been out in the sun too long...here are a couple of examples. My husband bought a new saw blade for his skilsaw. Couldn't find it. We all looked everywhere. Showed up the next day in the front seat of the truck. In plain sight. The company I had, got ready to go. Couldn't find her glasses. She said she looked in her purse several times. Told me to look. Not much in her purse, so I took out her wallet, lighter, cigarettes, chap stick. Put it all back in. She called when she got home...glasses in her purse. Right on top. I collect marbles and someone gave me a pretty bottle to put marbles in. It had a slip of paper in it and I fished it out...with a little difficulty because it is a decanter. Narrow neck. Fed horses, was going to wash the bottle. Paper was back in there. Took it out again....hope it stays out this time. My mother always told me....no such thing as ghosts. Okay. I can go along with that, but odd things happen that I have no explanation for. Home alone this morning. Jody has gone to see someone about a dog fence.
