Update – LONG overdue!
I’m not quite sure what happened. I swear I was just sneaking Halloween candy out of the pantry when I started noticing Easter candy for sale last week. This is how I base life’s timeline, by the candy on display at the store or hidden in my pantry. Whatever. Don’t judge. Now that I’m back […]

An end of an era…
Twenty-one years ago, this little guy took to the fields, ready to be an all-star. The caption on the back of the photo states I was happy to see his pants were zipped up for the picture. He thrived in sports. In his freshman year, he thought it was a good idea to play football, […]

“Please show me a picture of Nick healthy…”
“Please show me a picture of Nick healthy…” is what was asked of me when a new friend of mine walked into our home recently. Oddly enough, all the photos I had scattered around our home were taken during his four year-long battle with cancer. In my mind, he was always healthy; I’m always taken […]
Tulips: “Hi Mom!” With love, Nick
Nick’s been around again – from the FD Ball to various Facebook postings. On Friday, Kelsey had to wear an “empathy belly” for her Adult Roles class in high school. She chose to wear one of Nick’s favorite shirts for her day of fake pregnancy. She went on to post the best Public Safety Message […]
Happy Endings

This is always a tender-hearted event for us, re-connecting with Nick’s other “family” – both alumni campers and staff. Having been camp parents ourselves, Lee and I have our own “family,” too. With Wacky Warriors being […]
“Angel Fly” by Emily Bea
Do you ever have one of those months (not days) where things are just a bit out of balance? One day, I’m listening to my daughter (freshly returned from her 18-month church mission) share her tender spiritual experiences with the congregation in a very personal, mature and grace-filled message. My child literally glowed. Throughout the […]
