Yeah, I still watch Grey’s Anatomy. I caught up on last Thursday’s episode this morning, watching via an app on my phone, while getting things done around the house. Side note: How futuristic would that sound to teenage me, who made mixtapes to listen to on my boom box and Walkman?! Once again, the writers […]

I came across this quote today from Laura Kelly Fanucci, a fellow bereaved mom, via a friend/dad who is grieving and remembering (after the recent death of his baby) on this, October 15th, National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. These words struck and ring true for me, almost 14 years since we experienced our first of […]

Wednesday, 1-10-96 12:45 AM London 6:45 PM E-Town (1-9-96) Just talked to Mom, Dad, & Meg! It was great to hear their voices… So comforting. ❤︎ ☺︎ Dad’s (knee replacement) surgery went well, all things considered… But he is now in a great deal of pain from the healing he must go through, to fix […]

You’re fifteen for a moment, caught in between ten and twenty… You probably don’t know this song reference, but we’ll remedy that today. 15. Years. Old. Say what? When did that happen?! I remember this toddler, who loved all things trains, said “Choo-Choo!” often, and would drop everything when he heard the sound of “ding-dings” going down, […]

I was angry, really angry. And sad. It had been a long and exhausting day. As a WAHM/SAHM, I was able to watch much of the coverage on TV, and thus had been engrossed with what was happening all day. It was triggering for me, as it was for so many women. Me too. I’d […]

Sunday, 1-7-96 12:16 AM Broughton/Chester, Wales 6:16 PM E-Town (1-6-96) I am a bit homesick right now. Mostly because I am tired… I also have been drinking & the two don’t mix well. Dad would be glad to know I didn’t drink too much, knowing I wasn’t in the mood or up to it tonight. […]
