Fifty Years Ago
Fifty years ago my mother-in-law became an unwed mother. Back in the 60's that was not a good thing. She managed to keep her job throughout her pregnancy and worked hard to forge a life as a single woman during that time. She did an amazing thing. The son she gave...
Birthday’s
Having a good attitude and tons of hope to start the New Year is a good thing. And then it happens…."Mom, my knee hurts." Ugh. On the evening of the 16th I knew that the pain was about to get out of control so I took "Christian" to the hospital...
Secrets
I always loved secrets when I was a little girl. You know, the harmless kind that involved "liking" someone…..or being liked by someone 🙂 One thing I have noticed is that sometimes having secrets can be lonely. You either can't share because of your status in a...
The Best is Yet to Come
Despite spending the week of Christmas in the hospital, it was a great holiday! When you are forced to be in a single room without being able to hibernate in separate parts of your home, it's pretty nice even with monitors buzzing and nurses coming in...

Superheroes
The idea of a "superhero" is that they do things that most normal people cannot do. They have super strength, x-ray vision, speed, determination... My "Christian" is a superhero. As I write this he is lying asleep in his hospital room...a deep sleep...
It’s All Good…but today is Great!
Every time I am at church a member of our wonderful congregation will ask, "How is 'Christian' today?" Our congregation keeps my sweet boy lifted in prayer constantly knowing that from one day to the next his hemophilia may get the best of him. Last night at our...
And the tears came
Getting ready for church turns into a day in the emergency room. Another day of plans put aside….a party cancelled, some needed work put on hold again… A hand swollen, digits full of blood and a little boy who doesn't understand why. Passing the time watching...
Thank You
In high school I spent a lot of time at my best friend Cyndi's house. She lived around the corner and her house was great! Her mom bought Dr. Pepper, pizza rolls and they had MTV. I would go on the weekends to the lake with her family and we would often play a pick...
