I am sitting at my desk in my newly rearranged room, contemplating my new life. I actually thought about it a lot even before Sonny died. I asked him what I should do so many times. He wouldn't give me an answer and it hurt. I couldn't imagine life after he died and the idea … Continue reading Dreams

One Month
These last few days have been heavy. Today marks one month since Sonny died. Saturday was our 29th wedding anniversary and Sunday was exactly 4 weeks. Heavy, sad milestones. There have been tears at unexpected times and a lot of crying out to God, asking for strength and a bit of peace. Yesterday I started … Continue reading One Month
The Great Unknown
You call me out upon the waters the great unknown where feet may fail and there I find you in the mystery In oceans deep my faith will stand The first time we returned to church after Sonny lost his leg Alyssa surprised us by singing this song. Neither Sonny or I had ever heard … Continue reading The Great Unknown
Faith and Endurance
Today I read from James chapter 1. I have found the NLT to be easy to read and understand, so that's what I have been reading lately. I started like this; Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way consider it an importunity for great joy. Really God ? Hmmm I … Continue reading Faith and Endurance
17 Days and Counting
I had expectations for myself. Don't ask me where I got those expectations, because no one placed them upon me but they were there and they were real. Perhaps I was expecting to react to Sonny's death the way we reacted to bad news. We would get knocked down for a few days and then … Continue reading 17 Days and Counting

The girls and I have been given the gift of a weekend away at a friends lake house. I am so thankful for a moment's respite from my home, with all of its mess and ever present memories of Sonny. Everywhere and everything I see or touch brings a memory or wave of sadness. I … Continue reading Respite
Learning to Breathe
These last few days have been chaotic. I though things would calm down after we got through the first week and memorial service. I was mistaken. I am having to learn to not have expectations of how life will be. When Sonny was here, we seemed to be on a constant up and down with … Continue reading Learning to Breathe
Erasable Me
Today's post is brought to you by frustration. Yesterday my bank blocked my assess to our accounts and I spent the day trying to get back into it. Then all of the bills that we paid, those in both of our names and in only his also disappeared. It is so stupidly frustrating because we … Continue reading Erasable Me
Unfinished Business
I once had a blog, of the same name actually. During these last few years I have found value in writing and feel that it is time to perhaps give the blog another go. I am on a different journey, one that I knew was coming. I dreaded it then and I don't care for … Continue reading Unfinished Business
