When I Grow Up
I know what I want to be when I grow up. The person who makes the first phone call to let a family that a wish (Make-a-Wish Foundation) will be granted for their child. I received that call on Friday morning. It was a moment I can hardly put into words.It started a...
Trusting through Transition
My "Lance" is fourteen. He will be fifteen on the 23rd! I don't know where the time has gone, but before I know it, he will be on his way to college.Over the past few years my husband and I have been working on him taking responsibility for his bleeding disorder. He...
Let Go (part 2 of 4)
To "let go" is not to try to change or blame another; it's to make the most of myself.To "let go" is not to care for, but to care about.To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being. Making the...

Last summer my Christian's body rejected his 2nd port. It was pretty awful. The port pushed its way out of his chest. It was removed and we had to pack the open wound and let it heal before the 3rd port was placed. This was the second time I ever felt as if I was...
Moving
I was up pretty early today for work, finished what I needed to do, and considered lying back down. But I decided to go to yoga class instead.It was one of the best decisions I've made in quite a while.I have to get moving. I'm tired of feeling tired and having my...
The Brace
My "Christian's" ankle is not in great shape. It's a target joint and has continued to give him problems. I am noticing that when he runs he adds a skip into his gait. Without his brace, he turns his ankle to 90 degrees. He's protecting it. Without knowing he is doing...
