Birthday Dinner Celebrating 32! Forgive me, readers, for I have sinned. It’s been three months since my last post. To be honest, I am forcing myself to write this post. Seriously. It took me an hour to write the first 129 words of this post. That’s pretty good considering it has taken me six months […]

Make the Best of What’s Around
My Facebook Memories feature reminded me that on October 3, 2006, I posted this picture in a blog post and in the “Note” section. The title of the post was, “Don’t Burn the Day, ” and my only comment was, “True story.” I don’t think I could have said it any better nine years ago.

Sorry for a second sad post in a row. I just wanted to give an update on the dog that Jay & I found on Friday. Then, onto happier things. On Saturday evening, Jay and I got confirmation of not-Harvey’s identity. The woman who had been misidentified as her foster parent sent us a text […]

Note: I tried posting this last night until about 1:15 a.m. on the WordPress app on my phone, but it kept crashing on me. Pretend all the “tonight’s” are “last night.” Stupid no Internet ruining my emotional moment! Well, we officially moved out of our trusty old apartment. I cried when we did our last […]

So here we are. July 12. One month later. I know that time will make it better, but right now, it isn’t. It actually gets a little bit worse for me each day. I think living in Raleigh has given me a delayed reaction for it to really sink it. I’m not there every day […]

It’s funny the effects that grieving can have on you. On one hand, you know that life goes on and you have to go on with it, but at times you find the other hand clutching your forehead as you try to block out memories and reality that pop up at inconvenient times. It’s been […]
