Don’t Let Me Drown
"Head Above Water" By Avril Lavigne "I've gotta keep the calm before the storm I don't want less, I don't want more Must bar the windows and the doors To keep me safe, to keep me warm Yeah my life is what I'm fighting for Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore And my… Continue reading Don’t Let Me Drown
Happy Birthday
18 years ago at 5:05 a.m. this morning I delivered a beautiful baby boy by C-section after going into labor four weeks early. God only allowed me to have this child for 16 years, 9 months, and 19 days. He isn't here to celebrate his 18th birthday. He isn't here to celebrate one of life's… Continue reading Happy Birthday

Signs
My imagination is a terrible thing. It's a monster. It likes to play tricks on me. I will be driving in my car to work and I hear things. I'm not sure if it's voices or just noises. What I WANT to believe is it's a voice. I WANT to believe it's HIS voice. But… Continue reading Signs
I Can Feel You
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” ― Helen Keller While I feel empty most of the time, I feel him constantly. Funerals. Celebrations of life. Services. Since Zane's I have dreadfully attended 5. I should have gone to… Continue reading I Can Feel You
