If you are fortunate, or lucky, or live a rather untested life, you may have never truly reached your limit with anything. You may be able to tolerate certain behavior from others, take pain and suffering in stride, or push yourself further and further without ever breaking. But if you're like the rest of us, … Continue reading Limits
As I frantically shopped for chocolate bunnies and jelly beans this evening after my angel on Earth had eaten a healthy dinner and was settling in for a quiet evening with Daddy, I was remembering the only three Easters we celebrated with our angel in Heaven. I vividly remember our last, as we were in … Continue reading Easter with Angels
This is a rough week, every year. Tomorrow is the last day we had our sweet angel speak to us, hug us, laugh with us, on Earth. We held him for eight more days, but tomorrow, three years ago, was the last day his soul was truly a part of this Earth. I've learned, I … Continue reading It’s what you make it
Dear moon, I am in awe of you. We awoke early yesterday to see you in your super, blue and eclipsed state. But you were hiding behind the clouds. We spoke of you at dinner and my sweet little one described in his four-year-old way, how Earth would move and the Sun would stay still, … Continue reading Letters to the moon

We were gushing over each other at our third 'annual' girls' weekend with my 'minions' - the beautiful, … Continue reading The joyous quarter
On days where I'm tired, and I feel the pressure of life, the stress of work - the difficulties of the tangible - creeping up my spine like an ache I cannot shake, I think of you. I think of you and the beautiful, meaningful, brief life you had here with us. You never knew … Continue reading My path
I often wonder as I go about my busy day, how often do others think of you? I think of you countless times during each and every day. A scent, a voice, a breeze, reminds me of you. The sweatshirt I wore today was given to me on my first 'girls' trip' after the run … Continue reading Thinking of you
Hi, Baby. Six years ago, I carried you safely in my belly. You were tiny, and so was I. I had no idea that in a few short weeks, I would welcome you into the world. I planned for that homecoming to be months away. At that moment, six years ago, I just waited patiently … Continue reading Six years
