You’re Gonna Die.

I was talking to a friend last night and she said something that resonated with me. Not a good kind of resonating, but a stinging one. It has stayed with me all day today and as I think about it, I think we should talk about it. My friend said: “I hate giving advice becauseContinue reading “You’re Gonna Die.”

People Don’t Get It

I’ve been speaking with another widow lately and one thing we both agree on is people don’t get it. People do not and cannot understand what the grieving process is like for anyone. I am thankful so many people don’t get it because that means they have not experienced a great loss in their life,Continue reading “People Don’t Get It”

A Letter to My First Born Child

Dear Jack, I sit here on the eve of your thirteenth birthday reminiscing about where we have been. Thinking about where we are now and Imagining where we are going. First of all, I want to say I’m sorry. Your dad and I were young and not fully prepared to bring you into this world.Continue reading “A Letter to My First Born Child”

The Worst Part of My Morning

I wouldn’t say I’m a morning person. I get up and do the things that I need to do because they must be done. Most weekday mornings, my day starts between 6:00-6:30 am. I get Jack off to the bus, then the littles. I am fortunate enough to be able to come home by myselfContinue reading “The Worst Part of My Morning”

Why Do I Write???

I often wonder if anyone else wonders why I write so much. In case you do or in case you’re just bored, I’ll tell you why! Simply put, I write because I absolutely LOVE it. It makes me feel good. It helps me deal with things and process them. Writing is my Passion. I’ve alwaysContinue reading “Why Do I Write???”

Friends, I Need Someone’s Help

Friends, I need your help. I have been very reluctant to post anything or much about this at all. It is very hard for me to talk about, think about and deal with. I thought I had come to some closure on this subject, but something is bothering me and I need someone’s help. IfContinue reading “Friends, I Need Someone’s Help”

If Only I had Known What I was Playing For

I was playing Candy Crush today, something I do far too often, but very well. Each level has a different objective you must meet in order to beat it. My particular version of this game always covers up the level’s objective at the beginning with some banner, so I just started playing and doing whatContinue reading “If Only I had Known What I was Playing For”

I thought 1/16/2019 Would Be My Worst Day of 2019

Little did I know what 2019 had in store for me… (Insert Eye Roll Here) I have been holding out on all of you. In an effort to be as transparent as I choose to be, I have decided to share something not many people know about me. Last year, on January 16, 2019, IContinue reading “I thought 1/16/2019 Would Be My Worst Day of 2019”

Mom, Are You Crying?

I am historically not a crier. I used to be really proud of that actually. I would never cry at shows or movies. The only time I would cry was when I would get super frustrated or angry. I was an angry crier, not a sad crier. I boasted about my ability to not cry.Continue reading “Mom, Are You Crying?”

Things change

You put things away. Scenarios that happen in your life, situations you have to deal with. You put them in a box, wrap it up, tape it with the strongest duct tape you can find, wrap it in bubble wrap, tape that, super glue it for good measure & label it DONE. Do Not Open.Continue reading “Things change”
