Faith just turned seven. I actually can‘t believe she‘s seven. It seemed she was just turning four. I think the last few years have been so tough that they seemed to go by in such a blur. On my birthday, as I was blowing a candle out on a dessert she made me she askedContinue reading “I have a little faith”

Someday
Someday I will tell you..that your the strongest person I know. that grandpa was wrong about me, that you are the toughest kid there is. Someday I will tell you that we couldn’t walk down the hallways of Mott without everyone saying hello to you. That even though you were tiny, you ever went unnoticed,Continue reading “Someday”
changed…for the better
Faith is sick. She’s got a cold. But with Faith a cold is never just a cold. A virus of almost any kind sends us to the hospital, but this time we seem to be doing a better job managing her health at home. Now I am constantly second guessing my decision to take herContinue reading “changed…for the better”
wish i may
I used to work at Walt Disney World. The most magical place on Earth. The place where fairy tales come true. I went to work at Disney World because I was a believer in magic and wishes and happily ever after. I believe I was born that way. A believer in all things good, and thatContinue reading “wish i may”

The longest month of my life.Continue reading “We will be dancing in the rain”

Mother Duck
I consider myself a compassionate person. I care for people I don’t know, I worry about injustice, I pray for people who need my prayers. I have always been this way, when I was little I would see an accident and it would ruin my day, I would think all night about the family thatContinue reading “Mother Duck”
I’ve been holding my breath.
I’ve been holding my breath. Its been a week. A week since we were last admitted. We’ve spent more time at Mott in 2012 than we have at home. This last admission, I started holding my breath and I just realized, at some point I am going to have to exhale. I used to workContinue reading “I’ve been holding my breath.”
My Dolphin love
When I was younger I was captivated by dolphins. I loved them, being from Michigan where there are no dolphins, it may have been a bit strange. My friends had pictures of movie stars and rock stars on their walls and I had pictures of dolphins. I had stuffed dolphins, crystal dolphins, all different kindsContinue reading “My Dolphin love”
