We see things so often we rarely see them anymore

Orlando Eye
i see this iconic ‘Orlando Eye‘ so often i rarely see it.

 

Recently spoke to a person in the aging and senior adult field.

She said if a person won’t recognize a “problem”, then to that person, the problem doesn’t exist.

i found deep solace in this.

Nothing i say or do will help a Family member because the other person doesn’t, can’t, and won’t see what the rest of us easily see.

Take hoarding for example.

Orlando Pulse tragedy
Stumbled upon this last night.

 

i saw the pattern emerging yesterday.

Denial.

One week in Orlando filled with three horrific tragedies.

It can’t be happening.

So i am pretending it didn’t.

Yesterday was the first time (and it happened several times yesterday) i caught myself saying it to others (non-Floridians) in response to their inquiry and condolences.

We miss you Cooper

Stuffed Teddy Bear and Hedge Hog at Beach

 

One year ago today, on a Sunday at 6am, Cooper and i drove an hour to the 24-hour emergency vet near Sanibel Island we found using Google.

Twenty-four hours later, Cooper took his last breath.

On last week’s trip i took Jack the Bear and Cooper’s favorite, the Hedgehog.
