I haven't needed this space in some time. One day I just ran out of words that needed to spill out and so instead I just come back here to read your words. I cheer you on and watch as lives continue to unfold, just as mine does. Watch children grow up in pictures, as [...]

What you don’t see in pictures
We sat on the back deck last night, in the dark, soaking in the last night of summer. I sipped a glass of wine, my husband smoking a cigar, the baby monitor on the table between us. I had that pressure building in my chest all day. It started with those memory photos that Facebook [...]
