I wrote and shared another version of this post one year ago today. At some point since then, I found my notes from a session with an old therapist (who moved out of state a few years ago). I discovered that processing “missed potential,” and not “missed opportunity,” were the actual words she used to […]

Getting Abby to school this morning, more so her gym shoes, was a comedy of errors. I was half way home from dropping her off when she called to say she forgot them. I thought she said she left them in the car, since she was wearing her snow boots. However, when I was half […]

Dear Abigail Grace, What to say to you… It’s September 17th again! Your 9th Birthday! How exciting is that?!
