Unanswered Prayers

Are you familiar with the song, “Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.”. What are your unanswered prayers? Did you find out that God had something better in mind for you than you had for yourself? One of my big ones was when my first husband left, I kept hoping Read more…

Crooked Frame

I am not sure how clearly it shows in this picture, but this frame has been hanging crooked for a while now. I would notice it sitting on the couch and had not straightened it. Every time I would notice, I would think to myself: “Gosh, that would drive Tom Read more…

Pinkie and Blue Boy

My grandparents used to have prints of the paintings Pinkie and The Blue Boy. I was always fascinated by the paintings. One year, my mom painted these ceramic replicas of the paintings for my grandma. After Grandmama died, these were one of the things I brought home. Not only are Read more…

Starting the 4th year

It’s hard to believe that I am starting the fourth year without Tom. Reflecting on what I have learned in the first three years. What I want to work on as I move forward into this year: Ready or not, here I go! Always moving forward.

Last year

Last year on the anniversary of Tom’s death, I went away for a couple of days so I did not sit around the house getting lost in my head. As I was driving back from that time away, I decided I was ready to consider dating again. A few weeks Read more…

Walk down memory lane

Tomorrow is three years since we lost Tom. As the day has approached, I’ve been overwhelmed with memories from those last few weeks. The memory of laying on our bed together and watching “Knives Out” together on Tom’s birthday that July. The decision to start on hospice care. Waking up Read more…

Whoa, was not expecting that

Last week when I went for the MRI at Bass, the lady who checked me in was going through ALL of my information. I’ve been to the Radiology department since Tom died (back in March right after the wreck), so I wasn’t expecting her to say “Okay and we have Read more…

Like sitting in a hug

This chair is back in my living room. There’s a story behind the chair’s journeys the last few years. It was my grandpa’s lift chair. After he passed away, my grandma “loaned” it to my Uncle George. After he passed away, she wanted me to use it. At the time, Read more…
