There has been recent research showing that the cause may be Febrile Seizures, which can be caused by fever- and then I&#8217;m wandering back through my apartment that night, wondering [&#8230;]]]></description>

My Grammy was my greatest mentor, and my Boppa was a gentle, wise soul- and all I got to see of what it would have looked like to see my dad age, since he died at 54 in 2010. That's only 11 years older than I am now, and that was 13 years ago... and that's an example of what I call Grief Math. ]]></description>
