Last Thursday, I met my mom at the Oak Hills Cemetery where the Angel statue is that I talked about in this post. The statue is so beautiful, and I know I will be visiting often. I am thinking about having a brick engraved and placed around the statue. It's relatively inexpensive, and I think… Continue reading The Angel Statue & Test Results

How I’m feeling – D&C Day… again.
October 2, 2018 As a woman who is typically great with words, I seem to be speechless right now. There are no words which accurately describe the whirlwind of the last 48 hours. To say that we feel heartbroken, helpless, and devastated, would be an understatement. I never imagined that this would actually happen again,… Continue reading How I’m feeling – D&C Day… again.
A Second Loss

The One That’s Hard to Write
I've started and deleted this post at least ten times. Somehow, it's just seems impossible to come up with the right words. Yesterday was the day I have been dreading: my due date. Now that August 29th has come and gone, in some sick way, I almost feel relieved. That day has been weighing so… Continue reading The One That’s Hard to Write
Loving Lately, Vol. 7
I am a loyal Colleen Hoover follower, and did not even look at the book description when I purchased and started reading her latest book, All Your Perfects. Holy Cow, I could not put it down, and finished it in three days. The story unfolds by alternating past and present tenses. In the past, we learn… Continue reading Loving Lately, Vol. 7
