    Hard Choices

    Just days after bringing in the new year, “it” happened – you know, life. The ever so unexpected, dreadful events of life. It’s that sort of something, I’m not quite ready to talk about. I mean I want to, and one day I plan to. Mainly because I believe this is something many people struggle with; or at least they…

    Cheers to 2019!

    Determination, it is written all upon her little face. She is determined to succeed with the task at hand. Laser focused, on determining just how she will do so.

Her face is one of many, that I will never forget, and the words she spoke, were just as unforgettable… As I held my sleeping baby tight in my arms, while image after image, was being taken of her little belly and my left hand interlocked with Josh’s.

    The UNIMAGINABLE…Part 2

    un·im·ag·i·na·ble /ˌənəˈmaj(ə)nəb(ə)l/ adjective  1. difficult or impossible to imagine or comprehend.   To pick up where I left off.
