So remember that one time, when we were cleaning the house after the loss of a beloved family member, and the 9yo niece mistook a container of mace for a flashlight?

Mom’s Final Day
My mom passed away today. We are all heartbroken but we know that she is no longer in pain and is in heaven with her Lord and Savior. I picture her holding my little baby, her grand-baby, that we lost in 2007, which brings some comfort to my heart. Services will be at 1:00 p.m. […]
An Update on My Mom
An update on my mom: This weekend, my mom’s health went downhill pretty quickly. She was admitted to the hospital for a few days but was able to go back home on Tuesday evening. Mom is in a lot of pain, very weak, and on oxygen. She has no appetite. To be honest, and it […]

They are discontinuing the chemotherapy for my mom’s leukemia. But she got to go home from the hospital on Tuesday evening. It turns out her balance and vision difficulties were caused […]
Leukemia
My mom has been fighting a pretty aggressive leukemia and this weekend it took a turn for the worst. Things aren’t looking good and I am broken. If I’m being honest, I feel like my faith has really taken a beating over the past few years, so your prayers there would also be helpful. I […]
