Helping. Healing. Caring.
you’ll probably never know the priceless and precious gift you gave me today when you shared sweet Ella with me. You’ll probably spend a few minutes talking about me and wondering why I got all teary-eyed when you handed her to me and I felt the soft weight of her cuddly little body. You might […]
That was the very last question I remember you asking me…I can still here your sing-song voice asking me as your arms were wrapped around my neck. On your birthday, at just 5 years old, you asked me what it was like when you were born. Honestly, I was speechless for a moment, then I […]
I read a poem recently about the shoes I walk in.The shoes I never wanted to wear-the ones of a grieving mother. And then I thought…What about HIS shoes? The grieving father and the shoes HE must wear? The man whose heart is just as broken as mine-yet he stands in the shadows with his […]
“go back to that place, you know, the one where Mercy & Sam’s bodies are?” Umm…I was speechless for just a minute, then recovered enough to try and give that sweet little 6 year old boy an answer that would make sense to his confused mind and broken heart. To say today was difficult might […]

I am frankly so angry at their absence today that I cannot put together a complete thought-So I simply prayed […]
without Mercy & Sam. While it seems as though the days have lasted 100 hours instead of 24, that each minute crawls by, my thoughts constantly consumed by the absence of my sweet beans, the month also appeared to speed by like an old movie reel on fast forward- tape flying everywhere, grainy images […]
in my arms I held him tight. So surprised was I to feel his hug,a deeper hole in my heart was dug. But blessed was I to see his face,to feel the love of his warm embrace.I pray Mercy will soon inhabit my dreams,giving me kisses and dancing in bright moonbeams.When morning comes I’ll still […]
was really all I ever wanted to be. But I really think it scared me for the longest time. That thought of being responsible for another human being. Being entrusted with a tiny little life, self, heart and soul. How on earth could I possibly do that when most of the time I didn’t seem […]
