A Week
For nearly three weeks my family was dealing with different emotions. Not only were we missing a family member during Thanksgiving, that person was also in seclusion from his family. That can be a very scary thing to deal with on so many levels on both sides of the coin. Today marks a week since…

Fiery, Passionate Love
Last year I wrote out my feelings about my nieces birthday and motherhood or lack of experience being a mother. Becoming an Aunt was an experience though and I went through all of that in this article from a year ago. Today is slightly different. Have you noticed something about recent crimes lately. The victims…

Summer Time
This was Grandma Rosemary’s Welcome Swan Sign. The last few days have been busy. Who knew a preteen could have so many girls to follow her around all through our two weeks time with her. There are some other logistics that goes around with this too though! My niece has been reveling in her time…

I will never forget years and years ago. Warren Allen was preaching at Fellowship, Grandpa was gone at that point and I remember it was after I had started college myself. Some of these years are a bit hazy considering it’s been at least 20 years, but also because mourning did something to me when…

Morning Blues
My Mom and I had to get up awfully early this morning. My uncle’s MRI was scheduled for 8:30 am. This means we all had to be up early. My alarm clock on my phone went off like clockwork at 6:30 am although things didn’t go quite as expected. After my alarm was silenced I…

Last Night
Believing we would have a nice restful sleep was a little bit naive, I suppose. The one upside is that I wasn’t completely alone on the 9th floor like I was at Drury Inn last year. Fortunately there’s only 3 levels here. That did make me nervous looking out that window last July. I had…
