Candy Rant by Candy Rant
Candy Rant is a now-defunct pseudonymous, semi-monitized blog that was written by a Creative Writing teacher at a large state university. The writer, "Candy," typically writes about teaching, the humorous foibles of life, and her family, often with a fairly edgy but very human sense of humor. In these posts, Candy talks about her dad entering a nursing home (which Candy refers to as "Shiny Meadows") after his decline due to Alzheimer's Disease. The final post linked below ("Archipelago") explores the process of grief after her dad's death.

(Although his blog isn't monetized, he does advertise his book on his blog.)
