We’re Public People-Where the Heck I’ve Been
In the past, when the blog was down I continued writing. But when my Mom died, so did I, and so did the blog. I hardly wrote down anything for the past two years, and I’ve wrote in a diary nearly every day since I was eight. It’s just a part of what I did,…

Life Is Bitter Sweet-Holding The Family Together-I’m So Crazy About Him
I’ve been pushing off this trip for awhile. For many reasons. For one, my Mormor is ancient and extremely exhausting to manage. I love her to death but she’s like a three year old. Also, last time I went to grandpa’s, mom was with us. It was going to be different. I’ve learned as I’ve…

One Year Without Her- Neurological Damage and Therapy
I still feel the weight — a weight of exhaustion. It’s the feeling of responsibility, and of failing at that responsibility. “Give your burdens to the Lord,” can be easier said than done. Certain passages come to mind that fit, but the process of actually doing it is hard. I haven’t lived long enough. I…

The New Chapter
I’m sorry to have startled you all with the sudden site take down. Mom passed away and I wanted to delete everything out of intense grief and desperation to get some relief or progress to being better. I decided to make a video which was previously pasted onto this post. Whoops, you must have missed…

The Engagement-Grief & Happiness
Yes, you read that right! The day finally came; my boyfriend got down on a knee and asked me if I’d spend the rest of my life with him. It was a special moment I’ll hold and cherish forever. It was weird, but in a wonderful way, and it was overwhelming, but in a peaceful…

How to Help Kid’s With Sick Parents-Mom’s Cancer Story-Fighting Melanoma
We’re at the hospital again. Mom had a seizure and fell in the kitchen this morning. This was her second seizure, except this time wasn’t because she didn’t refill her meds. She made a pot of coffee, put the spaghetti she wanted to have for dinner on the counter, and then started walking in circles.…

A Provoked Child-Mom’s Cancer Story-Family Dirt
An explanation/demonstration of why cheap grace/hyper-faith has ruined my family. For all of my life since day one, my family has had two options. But every time, they don’t just pick the wrong option, they master up the most absurd idea known to man. They decide, even though anyone in their right mind wouldn’t even…

Hidden Feelings-I Burned His Love Letters-“She Isn’t You”
I hope this doesn’t come back to bite me later. ;/ I learned some interesting things that I’m not so sure I wanted to know this week. Read if you must. You might laugh at my “being such a dramatic girl” tendencies but what can you expect? You brought yourself here so don’t act so…

He Did It Again-The God Who Moves Mountains-Mom’s Cancer Story-Gag Me With A Spoon Why Don’t You?
I’m sorry for such a delayed post. You’re all probably hating me right now. Mom made it through, she’s okay. The surgery went according to plan, no mess ups. Doctors were worried and prepared us for the possibility of her not leaving the table. God gave us another miracle. On day one, after surgery, Mom…

Final Option-Mom’s 4th Brain Surgery-The Whole World Crumbles
I’ve been counting down the hours. We’ve hit literal rock bottom. At 1:30 they begin our last option. I’m not trembling. I’m not shaking with fear. I’m not a crumbling weeping mess. My Nana is of course, but I’m not. How I’m not, I’ll never understand. This is the most important thing to me. This…
