    As I face the one year anniversary of the loss of my son Kyle I feel the devastation all over again. I don't know what to do today to honor him. Everyone is waiting on me to decide, even my husband. I'm tired of making all of the decisions. I made all the decisions about his care from the day he was born, on the day he passed I decided to donate his organs to Gift of Life, I made all...

    Through our daily doubts & confusions,  
    We suffer under no loss of reason or delusions . 
    We fight  a cruel, vicious war unending ,  
    With a sly, demonic enemy unbending. 
    Like the famous Spartans on the battle field. 
    We fight on, may fall but try not to yield.    
    We go on, we continue on as best we can, 
    Be it alone or ...

    Saturday, June 6, 2009

    It is me again.

    Can you understand?
    Do you see me?
    Do you turn away from me?
    Does my appearance scare you?
    Do you find it a fine joke?
    At the store I have  people point.,
    Children say 'Look at her bumps."
    I  have been asked is that catching?
    What is that, anyway?
    Besides the physical pain of NF,
    There is the mental pain.
    There is the shame.
    Why I am not ...
