Why?
Why is it so hard to find good friends?
And when you do find them why is it so hard to keep them?
Aren’t we all looking for the same thing?
Someone you can tell anything to, and know its safe with them.
Someone who understands who you are, and won’t try and change you.
Someone who loves you even [...]

It’s never too late… to find old friends They’re like gems. “The best mirror is an old friend.” – Proverb A couple weeks ago I bought this book, “It’s Never Too Late” by Patrick Lindsay. It has a bunch of what [...] I’ve been having a problem lately. The problem is taking up my cross. As time has passed, my focus has blurred, motivations floundered and the details of life intervened. I realized some days I had gone without even seeing a picture of Anita, let alone preserving her memory and sharing her love (which I believe is [...] People who know me know that I spend a lot of time analyzing things (maybe way too much time) and so it was after Anita’s death.

I recently spoke with a man who lost his [...] So, I’ve been sitting around thinking a lot about pain, joy, love, grief, God, strength and so on, not in any specific order. As I piece together the puzzle that is grief and my life living with it, a few things actually started falling into place. First off, and I think I have said this before, [...] One of my Facebook friends sent out a message that October 15th was the official Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I had never heard of it, but was happy to join in lighting a candle form 7 to 8 pm in memory of our lost children. Miscarriage is not a topic men speak about much [...] Anita and I agreed early on to base our marriage on growing together. That meant a lot of communicating, sacrificing for the other person and making all decisions together. I used to describe it like we were two trees next to each other. We could grow separately without consideration of the other, but eventually there [...] This morning was the worst day for me yet. Maybe it seem apropos that one day this week was the best I’ve had and this day was the worst. Or maybe they came from two different but equally important realizations. I dropped Julia at school again this morning which provides a perfect early morning opportunity to [...] This morning, I dropped Julia at school and then drove by the cemetery to visit Anita and Peter’s grave site. Yesterday, I asked them to work on the dirt fill because the bad rain had washed away some of the soil. I was told that they would fix the dirt and were nearly ready to [...] |
