Your Birthday coming up Nov 27

Just ten more sleeps until your birthday.

Hey, Mary. I was reading this book and thinking about you. I watched you use the principles in this best-selling book to set a goal of bringing Clara into this world. You did it with love, honor, and compassion. TaDa! Good Job!

Love you more than all the grains of sand in the universe. DAD

Transition Day 2020

Three years ago, today, you said your last words, I love you. Thank you. What a blessing you gave me. From beginning to end, we stayed the course. Your bravery, courage, love, stamina, and many more accolades than cannot be written in such a short space, are the truest examples of the Power of Purpose. You lived it as you created it, full of fun and laughter. Your happiness will be remembered in many, many ways.

Star Dust to all!

I have begun to collaborate with some incredible CFers in the US. Both are transplants. Both beautiful people, full of life, and passion. You would really love them.

I met Isabel through a CF grievance group I joined. That was an incredible experience. Eight weekly Zoom calls with several parents of CFers, twin sister of CFer, best friend and CFer herself, and the wife of a CFer. One of the biggest outtakes for me was the agreement that hospice care is essential to CFers, and the world in general.

TaDa Updates

With the pandemic, things have changed a lot, quickly. Most of the world is in a stay-at-home status. On the upside, more and more people are working from home and creating a new normal paradigm.

I have been working on expanding Mary’s & Clara’s legacy. Along with the creation of the Mary Boleyn Hospice Foundation Inc and the TaDa logo, I have had the TaDa Song – A Song About Starting All Over Again accepted by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as a bonus track on the Fall Risk Musical CD.

Here are some of what has been completed by today.

Here is the original song recording,

Here is a story board used to convey the feeling of the song.

Excuse Me

I found this today and knew you would love it. Great things happened this week with Mary Boleyn Hospice Foundation Inc. I made contact with a person involved with CFF in palliative care and sent her, Dr. Elizabeth Dallon, a set of Heart TaDa mugs.

I also sent 12 Heart TaDa mugs to the Davies Project in Lansing, MI as recognition from Rapidgo Driver to their volunteer drivers. We are calling them “Heartfelt Thanks”.

I am working on a lifetime award for contributors to the hospice foundation. I am thinking: Lifetime Contribution Award for exemplary contribution to the foundation or CF. I will include Pankaj Chand, who flew from Canada to be with Mary during her final hours and Mary Mount, without whom we would not have had the Allimance-Caswell County Hospice care we all needed at the time of your transition.

Missing you sometimes more than I can bear.
