What do I do when, ...false words are spoken? ...help offered is ignored? ...kindness it criticized? Well... I eat a second cupcake, stuff down a handful of potato chips, polish off the rest of the "fun size" Halloween candy bars... then I sit in a stupor in my recliner feeling like an idiot, until.... I pull myself together. …

31 Days of Aging Grace ~ The Grace To Die Well
We entered ICU and his eyes lit up like always when he sees someone he loves... which is just about everybody. My husband, two youngest and myself, each had a moment with him... a hug... a few words.

31 Days of Aging Grace ~ Perfect. Not.
We are all perfectly imperfect because that's how God made us..... We just need to be ourselves, because no one else will do.....

Love’s new definition
The other team had color-coordinated everything... and classy coolers full of ridiculously healthy snacks. Our team at least had matching red jerseys (kind of), juice boxes and homemade cookies... plus a lot of spunk. The other team had cute, little girl cheerleaders. Our team had two scrappy boys who decided to cheer-lead for their brother. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love that my sons stick up for each other. They'd …
i do not love her….
Nine and one-half months I have lived in this house that is not mine... well long enough to birth a baby. But what has been birthed here? A lot of days go quiet, but she can't seem to hold the ugly in forever and let's it fly. And I want to fly... away. I told him the other night, …
