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.

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

We've all heard the saying, "grief comes in waves." While I do believe that to be true, I certainly didn't expect it to hit me at the most random times. Say, in the middle of a CycleBar class. That's exactly what happened to me Saturday morning. I woke up feeling great, ate a fulfilling breakfast,… Continue reading Grief Comes in Waves
