This is one of his most recent posts before his farewell to his new blog. I think what some people don't understand is that the death of a child is one of the worst life changing experiences a person could have. Imagine outliving your kids? That truly would change anybody.
2PM - Last winter
During last winter, our readership dropped like crazy. Daily visitors went from 3,200/day in October, 2012 to 2,250/day in March, 2013. Readers were bored by our blog. We were not traveling much. Mostly we just strayed at El Chaco RV Resort and watched movies.
During that winter, I did not know what was going on? I mostly hung out inside of MsTioga. Not visiting with other RVers much. But now that I am thru that period in my life, I am able to look back with perspective. I believe that I now know what was happening.
I was depressed because of what happened to my children. One dead. The other out of my life. Last winter I was grieving for this loss. Also, I was having difficulty adjusting to my physical decline. The aging process really caught up with me during the last several months.
But I slugged my way thru those times, and now I am doing really good. Wanna know something? I am not watching many movies anymore. Those movies were a diversion. I do not need a diversion anymore. I have too many things to do!
Thank you for hanging in there with me!
