Have you ever felt like you are way older than you are? Your mind and soul feel as though they are aging faster than your body. I was discussing this the other day with someone and it dawned on me how old I really felt that I should be, definitely not only 31 years old.… Continue reading The Aging Mind

Finding My Joy Again
I have had a lot of people tell me recently that they can see my joy slowly returning. They can see happiness in my eyes again. When I first heard this I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Of course it’s good to hear that you don’t look like your sad all the time… Continue reading Finding My Joy Again

July 29th, 2018 Have you ever felt as if the enemy just won’t give up? Do you often think when is this storm ever going to pass? When will all these things being thrown at me ever end?

7/22/18 Your First Birthday in Heaven
July 22nd, 2018 My sweet Aubrey, Your second birthday came and went. It was your first in heaven. I hope you had the best day ever. Mommy misses you terribly.

7/9/18 Answers
July 9th, 2018 Since the day Aubrey was born the doctors could never figure out what was wrong with her. My pregnancy was probably the easiest pregnancy one could ask for. I never got sick, I was able to do as much or as little as I wanted to, I even worked out all the… Continue reading 7/9/18 Answers
3/26/18 The Day My Life Changed Forever
“We need to start CPR” “Code Blue, Code Blue” “Your daughter will be brain dead if she survives” “We will perform CPR for approximately 45 mins" “Time of death, 1:12am” These words will never leave my mind. It’s like a tape recorder on constant repeat. The day my daughter passed away changed my life forever.… Continue reading 3/26/18 The Day My Life Changed Forever

3/11/18 Smiles for Days
It’s been a little while since I have written, longer than I normally go. I’ll be honest I have had a bit of a hard time deciding what to write about this past week. Sometimes I feel like my posts need to be about a situation that I have gone through or a struggle that… Continue reading 3/11/18 Smiles for Days
3/1/18 Flashbacks, continued
Last night after I posted the Flashbacks post and went to bed my mind just kept going. So I wanted to pick up where I left off and continue that post. Flashbacks, they can be a blessing and a curse. A blessing for the memories they bring but a curse also for the memories they… Continue reading 3/1/18 Flashbacks, continued

Wow today was one of those days. It actually didn’t seem that bad until I sat down to color in my coloring book (yes I love those adult coloring books, they are a great stress reliever) did it hit me. Not just today, but last night as well was a day full of flashbacks. As… Continue reading 2/28/18 Flashbacks
