  • Two Forgiven

    Sunday, September 25, 2011

    Overdue:
    "You can't change your situation. The only thing you can change is how you choose to deal with it."
    I heard this quote early this week and have been thinking about it since. I choose to take it one goal at a time when it comes to tearing myself to the very roots.
    Mommy- I forgive you!
    Father- I forgive you!
    It seems like a short time to be able to forgive a life of pain the two have caus...

  • Thank You

    Wednesday, June 13, 2012 | A Positive story

    I want to thank all of my good friends for your support and
    extra special friendship. You made me smile,when I didn't
    want to smile. You made me laugh, when I didn't want to
    laugh. You know you have a true friendship when you can
    feel it in your heart how someone writes to you. If I could
    have gone out and hand picked friends, I couldn't have
    done better than I have with you. God blessed me when

    Well, it looks like I need to apologize to everyone again. I first
    want to thank you for being here for me, like you ALWAYS are.
    This past Saturday was 6 months since I lost my husband Kenny.
    So much was already going through my head about everything.
    Thinking about when Kenny was sick, and the pain he went through.
    And the day I lost him, how hurt I was, and how hurt I still am.
    One day it feels...

  • On the Edge

    Thursday, September 6, 2012


    Sometimes tears still take me by surprise, but I look back at the full ferocity of my grief after my son’s death as if someone other than myself went though it. I remember it, but it’s as if it happened to me while I was visiting another country. In those awful first days, I stood on the edge of a giant abyss looking down into the dark, bottomless depths.   Teetering on the...

    I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive.  I am at a crossroads in my life with very few options, it seems.  I appreciate all of you who are supportive and bring me a little hope for the future.
    Thank you

    Wednesday, May 1, 2013 | A Positive story

    I just had to laugh to myself as I checked "positive" for the type of entry this was. Wow! What a journey and a difference 10 years can make to see any bit of positive in relationship to losing a child. that being said I wanted to share a moment in my journey that was one of my earlier signs that Randy Lee will always be around me.
    Randy Lee died 3/16/03 and for those first months - it was ...
