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 [...]

My World Has Been Broken and Few Understand
I have struggled to write this post. Starting, stopping, deleting, and walking away. I have words I want to say but I just don't know how to say them or where to start. With Rebecca I have never known where to start. She is my own messy story and for those who don't know how [...]
