55

August 23, 2011

Happy birthday mom. I wish you were still here so I could wish it to you in person and give you a big hug. Remember that time I put together a bad homemade "surprise party" when you turned 36? I put streamers and balloons on the door and made a big sign that said "36" on ...

Little Swimmer

07.21.2011

The boot is frustrating the heck out of me, and I’m not even through 5 days of wearing it! You know how you always want what you can’t have? Well, since the boot has gone on, I now want to run and leap, in spite of the fact that I have never been super fond …

Email for the Soul

06.16.2011

Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

Thanksgiving was spent decorating the Christmas tree and other parts of the house as hubs had to work the …

Happy Thoughts

08.22.2010

Tomorrow (Monday) would have been my mom’s 54th birthday. I posted last year about what would have been her 53rd birthday. Like that day, I’m choosing to celebrate the good years of her life rather than those riddled by young onset Parkinson’s Disease.

Mi familia

This is not meant to be a sad post at all. Not my intention. Today would have been my mom’s 53rd birthday. She passed away a little under 3 years ago from complications of a very speedy progression of young-onset Parkinson’s Disease. I’ve had a hard time trying to grapple with the emotions revolving not only …
