Listen "My Clara -- This is Heavy and Weepy"
Episode Synopsis
I wasn't planning to talk about how much I hate this time of year, but I did.
I hate Halloween. It's the last time I saw my mother coherent. We watched part of "The Fog."
Later that night, she was suffering. I had to make a call to give her morphine to ease her pain.
She died a few days later.
This time of year is crap for me and my sister.
This year, as a pandemic rages and our country seems poised on the brink of civil war, I am having a hard time focusing on running.
