I mentally prepared myself for the funeral when my dad passed. I even prepared myself for the sadness that follows. I didnāt prepare myself for the knife in the chest when you have to call credit card companies & the bank & the telephone company to tell them that he had diedš.

Went to buy my spring chicks today & picked 4 beauties. Saw one laying alone on its back in a box in the corner. They said it was being badly picked on & wasnāt going to make it. Guess who they gave it to for free so I could love it for whatever time it has left? .Meet Gabriel

I never, ever, ever post personal stuff like this, but 17 years ago today my infant daughter died, and this day has never gotten easier. If you have a moment, I sure would be honored if you would send a prayer or well-wish up to heaven for her. My angel.š.

Iām sorry to say Gabriel passed during the night. His breathing began to get labored & I just knew. While it didnāt end the way I hoped my original goal stood. He was very loved & held and didnāt die alone in a box in a storage room. Moreover, he was loved by so many of you.

So tell me this happens to other writers: I'm going back to edit and give life to an old book I shelved, and as I'm reading through it, I don't remember writing some of these chapters and scenes. It's like I'm genuinely reading someone else's book, which is good for editing but. .

Controversial opinion, but after losing my daughter at birth, I have a hard time relating to the gender reveals showing parents sad that the gender isn't what they wanted. All emotions are valid, but your child will see that one day and you get to take your baby home. Just sayin

After 1000 comments I've learned a few things about cheese:.1) Everyone does NOT have a cheese drawer.2) I should have re-stocked before posting.3) Shredded is a no-no in for some.4) Cheese snobs exist (and I now aspire to be one).5) Some people actually have a cheese fridge.
