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.

Christmas for Clara Boleyn

Hi Clara, I can only imagine your Christmas this year. Wishing to share these soon.

Frozen Pez for Clara

I had to share this with you, Clara. I had PEZ dispensers at your age and loved them.

Game of Life

This game was one of your Mom’s favorites. She would take the path that allowed her to have more kids in her car. It was never about the money. It was about the love she could give to her children. What an incredible girl, woman, mother. She knew her purpose deep inside at a very early age. Respect!

Growing up with CF

Growing up with CF is what Mary did. Every day, sometimes multiple times in a day, Mary was required to “do a mask” treatment. After each inhalation treatment, I would put Mary upside down on my lap and “clap” her back and upper chest to loosen the mucus in her lungs so she could cough it up.

I addition, Mary took Cotezym to help her digest her food. She could not leave the house without the meds. Her teachers in school knew to help remind her to take her meds before eating.

This one of the earliest pictures of Mary having her mask treatment while playing Nintendo with step-brother Michael.
