I have had a really hard time sleeping lately, hence me still being awake at this hour. Usually I don't have any dreams, but every now and then I will have a streak of bad ones. They are typically super stressful and in some way forcing me to lose my mom or my dad all over again. I never feel rested when I wake up the next morning and I am usually thrown off my groove for the day. The past few days have been physically, mentally, and emotionally...

This week Mitch was working during the evenings/nights, so we had some extra free time during the day. I have been going regularly to a local coffee shop with some friends here and it was finally time to introduce Mitch!

The thing is that I just realized after sharing my first post about my mom that it was really liberating to write about my feelings. Not only does it make me feel like I can be more open about what is going on in my mind and heart, but it kind of takes a...
I recall so vividly a lot of the time I spent with my mom in the hospital over the years, but the most vivid memories are of the last time.
It was a couple days into my mom's hospital admission after having her painful breathing through the night and we still weren't sure what was going on. I was sitting my mom's hospital room with her and we were waiting for a call from her oncologist to hear what her options were depending on what was...
