So, ever since my mother's passing, my parents' god-daughter (my… god-sister?) has made it a point to be in touch more often. She friended me on Facebook the day after the funeral and we've been swapping messages since. That's fantastic! I can remember us playing together when we were little. She isn't 1.5 years older than me and we have only seen ( Read more... )

I went to visit a friend that I haven't spent a whole lot of time with recently this past weekend. Honestly, we didn't spend a lot of time together this weekend either, comparatively. I was caught off guard actually. We were discussing each others current problems. Normally, this would be a one-sided conversation with me listening to the problems. ( Read more... )

I always knew that there would be days that would be harder than others after Mom passed. Mother's Day was rough but that was so soon after I don't think I felt the impact as things were still really raw. I know there will be others like this that will be possibly more difficult. Thanksgiving, Christmas... times the family usually get together. ( Read more... )

We had decided to avoid the OBX nonsense traffic buy tooling up the eastern shore to check things out. John and Kristen were taking care of a few last minute things so we decided to meet up with them on the visitors center on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It was a really hot day but it wasn't too bad as long as we kept moving. I had never been over ( Read more... )

I should have posted on this much earlier but better late than never. This might take several days (may just re-edit this post) to get everything. Here it goes as best as I can remember ( Read more... )

Feels like I'm building walls when I should be building bridges. The sad reality is the only thing I'm doing is sitting on my ass...
