Sometime over the past week, after our Molly-girl’s birthday had come and gone, I realized that for the first time, in 10 years, I forgot to post my letter to her on our BabyBenson2008 CarePage after sharing it here on my blog. I felt sad about that, as we received so much support on our […]

Happy 10th Heavenly Birthday, Molly Marie! Double Digits. Two candles (a one and a zero) this year at your grave, instead of on a birthday cake. How has it been ten years? So much time has passed since we held you. So much time has passed since you left this world. For so long, your […]

16 years later, I remember. I remember where I was, what I was doing, and how I heard the news. I will never forget that day, the lives that were lost, and how our world changed. In April, Sean and I visited the Pentagon Memorial with his 7th grade class on their trip to […]

Today I will start with 1/3 of the dose I had been taking. I began stepping down off of my medication for anxiety last week. Week 1, during which I took 2/3 of the dose, went well. I am hyper aware of my emotions, trying to see if I notice significant differences or side effects. […]
