Dear Son, I’m not sure if I’ve done you the proper honor in remembering you the way you deserve. It’s not theoretically hard to do. I recall everything like it was yesterday. It’s been emotionally hard to do. Your memory is that soft spot on the peach… that if you poke too hard, you’ll … Read More
Not cancer. Granulomatous Mastitis. I think I’m feeling relief. There are SO. MANY. OTHER. FEELINGS. I’m sifting through in the last few days. But I think relief is in there. Just wanted to pause and be grateful for God giving me what I prayed for. I gotta turn up the volume on a … Read More
Originally, E and I took today off to celebrate his birthday. My plan was to take him around NYC and make him a tourist in his hometown. Just like he’s always complained that he’d never been. But a month ago when the MRI results came back begging that the next step be a biopsy of … Read More
If nothing else, I’ve totally learned that in life, you MUST be prepared to take these both… as they come. Roll with the punches… and the presents.

This may be my last post to the old server. I set the domain to move tonight, so tomorrow morning… Fresh beginnings! I had a good cry tonight. I guess it was just sitting on my chest for a little while. I was watching the season premiere of “Six Feet Under”, (morbidly…I am a fan … Read More
Shaping up to be a good day… A meeting I thought I had at 9:30… is actually every OTHER week. And this is the off week! *YESSSSSSSSSSS* The jobbie Job is paying for breakfast this morning. I weigh in today (even though I think I may have gained weight) but I’m keeping my head up … Read More
