On a Saturday morning earlier this month I was feeling unwell, so went back to bed. It was at that moment I had a vision of the Grim Reaper with a dislocated jaw. I was trying to fix it for him.
Luckily, he wasn’t in hunting mode so he wasn’t a threat to me. However, I wasn’t taking any chances so I stayed inside for the entire day.
He returned on the Sunday morning but his jaw was back on and the hood had been removed. Again, I didn’t want to tempt fate so I remained at home.
I’ve seen the Grim Reaper on many occasions before… but never like this.
On Monday, he came again in the morning with a sickly smile, when I distinctly heard the following message “be careful this day” so I promptly cancelled all my appointments and stayed home again.
When I awoke on Tuesday morning, there was no Grim Reaper, so I thought I could finally leave the house after being stuck at home while he was around.
Later that afternoon, my husband and I decided to take our dogs out for their daily walk to the dog park up the road, especially since they hadn’t been outside for three days, but rounding a bend on a rise we came face to face (or car to car) with an idiot in a Jeep who had crossed over the double lines and was in our lane.
It all happened so fast, there was no time to think and immediately after the car was full of horrified expletives. Survival instinct had savagely kicked in.

I knew in September of 2016 that my mother was close to death. She was 85 years old and had been chronically ill for over 30 years. The last 15 years of her life, she lived with my husband and I. It was about a month away from her 86th birthday and I came home from work one day and the whole atmosphere of my home felt different. The house felt gloomy, depressing and sad. I didn't figure out exactly what it was that had changed until my husband said that he caught glimpses of a dark, hooded figure going into my mothers room. I knew instantly that death had come for my mother. I would find a quiet place in the house and address it verbally. I'd say things like, "I know you're here and I know why you're here. If you've come for my mother all I ask is that you take her as quickly and painlessly as possible. If you could take her in her sleep, that would be even better because I don't want her to be afraid." Over the holidays, we made several trips to the emergency room and a couple of weeks of hospital stay. When they released her from the hospital the last week of January, 2017, they told me they were going to send her home on hospice care. Every day she was home after that I'd hug her, I'd sing to her and took extra special care to let her know how much I loved her. At 11:53 P.M. on February 7, 2017, my mother drew her last breath. She'd been sedated so she would sleep through the night but around 11:30, the night nurse woke me up to let me know she was breathing her last. If she had passed 7 minutes later, she would have died on my 56th birthday. At the moment she passed, I felt death leave my home. My husband had seen it and I had felt it. When she passed, the heavy depressing, sad feeling seemed instantly lifted.
