Larimer's Lair

A place for me to document what's on my mind at any given point in time, and to promote my book "Organ Donation: Why My Heart's Not In It Anymore" which I have posted to my forum of the same name and is available free for anyone to read there.

It's now been 21 years since my son died

Wednesday, October 5th marked 21 years since my husband and I lost our 18-year-old son Tommy to brain death after a car accident.
Here's a photo of him taken the same year he died...

About the Author
KATHY_OAKMy name is Kathy Larimer.  I was born in 1948, in Ohio, where I now live with my husband to whom I've been married since 1968 and with whom I've had four children-- three daughters and a son, in that order.  We now also have six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren  

     We also have one cat named Sky who came to us as a stray in 2009, and we also have a 14-year-old cockatiel that I inherited from my eldest daughter, and three parakeets that were hatched right here in our house in 2012.  

     My forum host name--"KATHY_OAK"--dates back to my first Delphi forum which focused on issues relating to the sex research of Dr. Alfred Kinsey who I very much wanted to "out" based on what I learned about him and how his sex research has been used to the detriment of our society and culture.  Thus, "OAK" is an acronym for "Outing Alfred Kinsey."    

    Now I've also taken on the issue of organ donation based on what I learned about it after my husband and I lost our 18-year-old son to brain death in 2001 and consented to donate his organs.  My book about it-- "Organ Donation: Why My Heart's Not In It Anymore" --is accessible free to read through my forum of the same name.  You can access my forum and book here:
