A friend of mine got to pick her son up from the rehab facility at a local hospital this weekend. He wasn’t in for drugs or drinking, like one would imagine, but for depression and an almost attempted suicide. Being the happy-go-lucky type my friend’s kid put on his happy face and went about his days even though […]

On Mother’s Day I got to sleep in, I was served breakfast in bed with freshly squeezed orange juice and there was a vase of fresh picked flowers on the tray. It was amazing and I am totally lying. I’ve gotten to celebrate being a mother for five years now. Most of the years we’ve […]

God works in mysterious ways.
