I Often Forget My Children are Just That – Little Humans Trying to Figure This Big World Out

I am the only parent parenting my kids. I am in the thick of it 100% of the time. I have a wonderful support system and appreciate them more than I can express, but I am the only one there at home. I am the only person in charge of their discipline. I am theContinue reading “I Often Forget My Children are Just That – Little Humans Trying to Figure This Big World Out”

Things I Wish I Could Tell my Sister Who is Very Much Still Alive

I’ve struggled with this post since I wrote it originally on October 22, 2019. I struggle with publishing it for several reasons, but mainly because right after I wrote it I felt completely differently than what I had just poured out onto paper. Right after I wrote this, I read the title, “Things I wishContinue reading “Things I Wish I Could Tell my Sister Who is Very Much Still Alive”

Be A Mary

When I was younger, I hardly ever felt pretty. I was very cute at times and sometimes I did feel pretty, but mostly I didn’t. I wasn’t ever the prettiest girl. I was never the girl all the boys thought was gorgeous and wanted to date or be with. Of course, in elementary, middle andContinue reading “Be A Mary”

Mental Health

Y’all…Mental health is So Important. Mental health is as important as physical health. A lot of people do not like to talk about mental health, but I am here saying we all need to talk about it more. What is Mental Health? In my layman’s terms, mental health is the status or well-being of yourContinue reading “Mental Health”

“Can you please come play with me, Mom?”

I have to tell you what happened today. I planned on cleaning my entire house, doing all the laundry and getting everything together for the week because we have zero weeknights free this week. I was sitting in front of the television in the living room and had just gotten into a groove folding andContinue reading ““Can you please come play with me, Mom?””

Indescribable

“Love” is hardly enough of a description to state how I feel about you. I guess it’ll have to do, since there are no words to describe how incredibly infinite my Fondness, Tenderness, Warmth, Intimacy, Attachment, Endearment, Devotion, Adoration, Kindness, Total Acceptance & Love for you are. The emotions themselves are so Large & IndescribableContinue reading “Indescribable”

Today is a Day that Ends in “Y”

Today is Valentine’s Day. I like it because my social media feeds are filled with thoughts of Love and Kindness. People take the opportunity the day allows to spread Positivity and Goodness into the world. It is special for my children because they get to exchange valentines with friends and get candy. It is specialContinue reading “Today is a Day that Ends in “Y””

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”
