but Jennifer died..

February 22, 2017

I am

January 15, 2017

I am out of control. Watching Jennifer struggle. Witnessing her slow and painful death.. I learned I have no control… And now..

this christmas

January 6, 2017

We made it through the holidays.. It wasn’t pretty a lot of the time.. But really thats not my goal anymore. Its just to make it through. To celebrate the joys.. and be ok with the sads. To say good riddance to the passing of a year without her and try to not dread the […]

May 11, 2016

Tomorrow morning I wake up to a 3 year old little girl… and it makes me sick to my stomach. and really really angry. I, like all moms, get a touch melancholy about their birthdays.. about how quickly time passes once you are a mom.. But my ridiculous decorating the night before their birthday has […]
