Now I know there are some people that probably think I’m bat bleep crazy for posting about a football player, but y’all, I live in South Carolina, and the one thing that binds us all (well, many of us!) together and drives us all apart down here is our love for college football! I am […]
Balloons to Heaven
Yesterday the family participated in a lovely walk of remembrance and ceremony for all babies gone too soon. I had been looking forward to this event for months.

Gratitude – RePost
TweetThis was an important post to me, and I want it to recirculate… as we remember our lost babies over this month, week, and especially on the 15th, once again I want to re-iterate how thankful I am to the family, friends, and strangers who helped, have help, and will continue to help us get […]
I Didn’t Know…
TweetFor 32 days I lay in a hospital bed, miserable, sad, depressed, completely uncomfortable. I did not know what a blessing that time was. For 32 days I listened to your heartbeat, felt you move, sat in silence with you. I watched you on ultrasounds, I talked to you. I had you and your twin […]
The Quilt – An Unexpected Act of Kindness
TweetIf you ever have the opportunity to just do something nice for someone out of the blue, just do it. Whether it may be taking a meal to someone, bringing a small gift, whatever it may be, you never know how you may impact that person. I guess this is the whole concept behind the […]
Captain of My Own Life Boat
TweetI had a ridiculously fun evening with my fellow moms club ladies last night as we enjoyed our wine and dinner at our monthly Moms Night Out. We laughed, sometimes even cried as it had been a rough week for a few moms, drank wine, laughed some more, used “adult” language, even told some […]
Black Friday
Tweet#grief, #babyloss, #TTTS September 28,2012I wrote this post a few days ago, in anticipation of this day. I have had a rough week, knowing that these awful one year markers were about to begin.

Teeny Tears is a service organization that makes tiny diapers for preemies that are stillborn or die shortly after birth, because most of them are too small for even the smallest diapers. Find out more […]

Laughter Truly is the Best Medicine
Tweet Laughter, especially when enjoyed with people you love dearly, has been a saving grace in my life over the past year. Last night I also witnessed laughter working in the life of one of my closest friends. Without going into too many details, this friend has faced many difficulties in the last year. Her […]
Gratitude
Tweet I have been thinking about this particular post and wanting to write it for so long, but the right words seem to elude me… but I do not want any more time to pass before I express my sincerest and deepest gratitude to those friends, family, and strangers who went out of their way to […]
Insomnia
I am so tired but I can’t sleep. I’ve had this issue all week. This is the first time in my life that I’ve had any problem sleeping, and I don’t like it. I cried for Kathryn tonight. I haven’t cried about her in a long time, but tonight, as I lay my head on […]
