A Necklace With a Message and a Memory

This “getting older” thing sucks! I feel like every time I turn around, I’m saying good-bye to another older family member. This time it was “Uncle Joe”. One of my favorite things about him was how much he loved his wife. Sure, they bickered like old married couples do, but if you heard the way

Worst. Summer. Ever.

Leave a Comment / Family, Grandparents, Love and Loss, Memories /

I wish I was kidding. I really do. Summer vacation is supposed to be for fun. Summer camps, sports, outings, day trips, vacations.. All of those things are synonymous with “summer”. Not our summer. Not this year. It’s so hard to type through tears, but here goes.. Mini’s birthday was in June. Her and I

They say time flies when you’re having fun, but time also flies when you’re miserable or sad. Even the days you’ve spent at the DMV are few when it comes to your whole life. Fifteen years ago, I said good-bye to my Mother. It feels just like it was yesterday. At times, it hurts that

It is VERY hard to get 4 dogs and a child to sit still! Even harder? Having them all look in the same direction at the same time! I have over 100 Christmas pics in my phone to prove this. We did some pretty amazing cards with Shutterfly, but the time and effort it took

Mini’s First Loss

1 Comment / Animals, Bittersweet, Closure, Family, Love and Loss, Memories, Pets /

This week, I had to try a mommy hat on for size: grief counselor. I wasn’t sure exactly when I was going to have to do this, but it happened. By the time I was Mini’s age, I had already seen and been through more than you would believe, but Mini hasn’t experienced a loss

Having A Rough Time

Leave a Comment / Bittersweet, Family, Grandparents, Love and Loss, Memories, Relationships /

I realize I haven’t posted in a while and it’s such a shame because I had so many posts planned. I’ve been keeping busy to keep my mind off this time of year. The Superbowl was a great distraction for me, as is all of the other tasks I have taken on. February 2nd is
