Holiday Season
So here I am…. finally making another post here. It’s been a really long time… like a year and a half. I’m so much different than the me from before. I miss the old me. I can barely remember her actually. I know she was a happy, self confident woman who smiled and laughed her … [Read more…]

Contrast
Easter came and went. Another first holiday without you. I know there will be many more this year all cumulating to the big holiday that will be extremely hard for us at the end of the year. I dread that. This year at our Easter Vigil service at church, we had Deacon Terry visit and … [Read more…]
