The Raging Tech on “Nom”
For those of you not familiar with the term “Nom” – it basically is an onomatopoeia (a word that represents a sound) to describe the noise one might make when scarfing down a delicious treat. For example: “Hey Jimmy, this cupcake is delicious… NOM NOM NOM NOM.” The “Nom” also carries with it a connotation…
So Now Do I Get Super Powers?
It hit me this morning – I have had recurring nightmares for the last year or so about my dad dying suddenly, and then getting a phone call from my mom and having to come home, etc. It was a terrifying nightmare, and I’d wake up feeling like a bad omen was over me. I…
Man in the Box
OK… I know I’ve been accused of having a morbid sense of curiosity, and maybe it’s not right to talk about some things, but you know what? It’s my father. If it helps me grieve, then I can write whatever I want. That being said, Dad’s “cremains” arrived today. That’s the funeral home guy’s word,…
Family Night Tonight
The family night for my dad’s passing is tonight. We’re having “Family Night” in lieu of a viewing, since Dad’s being cremated. We are borrowing an urn, since Dad is being shipped off to the crematory in a city near the beach and won’t be back until Thursday. We were in the funeral home again…
Dad Went Home to Jesus Today
This morning we got up, knowing that at just about any time, we could get a phone call saying dad had passed. Mom took me to McDonald’s and we had breakfast with Grandma. We went on to church, and had morning services at 8am. After services, I went on to Sunday School, but I was…

I’m at my Mom’s home, five hours away from where I live now. The reason for this trip was supposed to be so that I could see my dad before the liver cancer got to the point where he couldn’t recognize anyone, but that’s pretty much out the window. When I arrived Friday afternoon, my…
Tired of the Roller Coaster
If you were able to keep riding on the same violent roller coaster over and over again, eventually you’d want to take a break just to get your equilibrium back, even if by then the fear had temporarily subsided. That’s how I feel. My fear of losing my dad has (I’ll give you that it’s…
Good News!
God is so good. If you don’t believe in prayers or healing, then believe at least that my God is in control of things. He still would be good, and still would be in control of things even if I didn’t have good news to share. But I do have good news to share! I…
I Try to Find the Humor in Everything
My dad has been in off-and-on declining physical health since I was a little kid. He dealt with depression and some other things when I was in middle school. Around sophomore year of high school, he got into a car accident and had to go to the hospital. While he was there they gave him…
