2017-06-18 Carole Baskin’s Diary
My first fatherless Father’s Day. I miss you Dad.
“Life gets pretty precious when there’s no one between you and the grave.” My dad said that to me back when his mother died. He was NOT in the habit of being sentimental and never discussed his feelings with me, that I can recall, other than that one statement. That’s probably why I remember it.
I have to be upbeat and happy and do a Facebook LIVE session with our fans later, so I can’t cry right now. I’ve managed to distract myself up until now by using the holiday to give away a free cookbook that LaWanna and our fans co created, called Big Cat Style BBQ and Grilling. We’ve gotten about 600 downloads so far and built the email list by hundreds. We did this for Mother’s Day too, and it was a hit. Everyone knows I don’t cook, so I find it odd that anyone would download a cookbook from me, even if it is for free.
One of our fans made this sweet collage.
OK, now I’m crying, so I gotta quit.
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
