It was almost thirteen years ago that I started this original blog. 

Life certainly has changed! I’ve been looking back through my posts. In June of 2012 both my parents and father-in-law were alive. I lovingly joked about “geriatric hell” and being in the sandwich between aging parents and kids and grandkids.

It is no joking matter when you realize you are now the old person.  I wake up in the morning and my mother, who died almost twelve years ago, is staring back at me in the mirror and she doesn’t look happy.  That expression on the face looking back at me is most likely due to the realization that I have been bestowed a lifelong membership to a club I did not willingly join. The widows club stinks and I refuse to participate or go to meetings. 

Four months ago today was the lasts day I had with my husband and best friend. In some ways I think I am still in shock. He should have lived well into his 90’s!  We were happy, we had plans . . . lots of plans.

Now I am not planning at all. I’m taking one day at a time. This is no longer Kates Korner of Bucks this is now Kate’s Korners. Explanation next time . . . .
