Working on a reboot

In the last 5 years of my life I have lost both my parents and biggest supporters. It has made the last year the hardest as I have had to navigate life without both my mom and dad. I miss them daily but find ways to keep them alive in my daily life. When my dad passed away in 2020 I had to go through his belongings and I discovered he had a passion for Peanuts. Charlie Brown and Snoopy. His love for them was as intense as my own for Rainbow Brite.

Before my dad passed away in October of 2020 he had mailed me a letter. In it he wrote on the back of some custom printed stationary the following:
“I am sending this to you because I never want you to stop doing things like this. I love it as I love you my daughter”



In August of 2024 I also lost my mother. Both deaths were quick. Both my parents had preexisting conditions that kept them from living longer. I miss them both daily.

Any time I see anything Peanuts (for dad) or Betty Boop (for mom) I say hello. “Hi mom” or “hi dad” to myself. 

It has been a full year without them both and I’m learning to move on and try to bring more Rainbow Brite knowledge to the internet.

Last year I completely the WordPress transfer of moving all my older content to the newest file manager. But I am not ready to continue updating. My real life and health has been a mess and I am concentrating on my health. I look forward to the day I can update more frequently and have fun again. Until then, keep a happy thought in you heart and a Rainbow in your sky.
