Word Vomit...just typing as I feel...
Sometimes I miss her
And sometimes I don't
I feel as though I am
Disgracing
Her memory
When I forget
Even for a moment
Sometimes I go days
Without thinking of her
Then she comes to mind
And I hate myself for forgetting
Usually I want to remember
I want to remember her life
Her amazing personality
The awesome person she was
But when I remember her life
I also…

For some reason, this just spoke to me. Maybe it's the phrase "Red-Sea-place in your life", maybe it's the knowledge that I'm in that place where I just have to walk through this grief.
Thought some of you might like this, too.
When you come to the Red-Sea-place in your life,
When, in spite of all you can do,
There is no way round, there is no way back,
There is no other way but through:
Then know God with a soul serene,
And the…

your memory haunting me
your face flashing in front of my eyes
your voice quoting napoleon dynamite
plays inside my head.
it's been so long
why do I still remember you like this
why do I picture your face
every time someone mentions cancer?
I love you
I loved you
but you were taken from me
by the god I am told loves me
why did he do that?
how loving can he really be?
How could he let someone
as amazing as you…

You left us here.

Jack's older sister, Georgie, called me with the news that she and Jonathan will be having Baby #2 in 35 weeks. If they counted right, New Baby will be here near Jack's birthday in December. Jack would have been thrilled to have a new niece or nephew. He was a super-hero to Old Baby, Sophia, who reached up her 2 year old arms to signal that she was ready for a ride on his shoulders. She held on to his hair and yelled, "Yee-haw!" Off he'd lope, whinnying every few steps.
I'm thankful…

It was a long April Fool's Day yesterday. From the time he was a toddler, Jack thought that April Fool's Day was the best fun ever! When he was 2, he used the broom to open the garage door and bounced out from the side of the house with a grin and a loud, "Apil foo's, mommy!" after I ran out of the house in a panic. I learned to never use the sugar or salt without checking, to view meals cooked by Jack on his sacred holiday with suspicion, to let the shower run for a bit without blindly…

Well as if making it past xmas, new years, my husbands birthday, valentines day, wasn't hard enough now my birthday is coming up. LONELY, LONELY, YUK....
OK LORD I KNOW I AM TO ACCEPT HIS DEATH BUT WHY DOES IT WEIGH SO HEAVY ON MY HEART.
HOLD ME UP LORD, HELP ME TO KEEP GOING ON WITHOUT HIM, ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Friends are great, but when couples are around it is a little hard. I guess this shall come to pass..
God bless everyone and hold your head up.

America: 75% Rates at which Batterers recieve custody In America.
One statement in Breaking the Silence: Children's Voices that has provoked controversy was my statement that "the studies are showing" that up to 2/3 of accused or adjudicated batterers receive joint or sole custody in court. While no empirical study can definitively determine a universal statistical rate, the key point is that the research consistently shows that accused and adjudicated batterers receive joint or sole…
