The "babies" of my life are gone. It's so ok. It's fine. It's fine it's fine it's fine. I'm so fine. It's all good. I'm good. I'm so good.
Dec 17, 2024 I don't really know how to start this blog again after having abandoned it for so long. I'm just going to return to my roots, and use this for my stream of consciousness to pour out without edits. I hadn't been tracking my period, but this is nothing new. Sometimes I track, sometimes I don't. Honestly life is just very fast and my period is here and gone so quickly I don't really pay much attention to it. I don't get headaches, or cramps, I usually have a very sympton-free period and that's that. So I dont usually track or stress much over it (I can hear my female friends gasping at this as I type it)... But in case you forgot, I've never been too into living a structured life. Hakuna Matata. But at some point, I felt like I must be late, it felt like I hadn't had a period in over a month, maybe well over a month...I started questioning when my last period might have been...I still have no clue. I guessed well over 28 days ago, so I...
(Originally written in 2018, finally published, in 2022.) I don’t have the words to sum up the last 9 months of my life. Actually that’s not true. I have too many words. And some of them just cannot be shared on this blog. 2018 ended with heartache, and 2019 started with heartache. And it hasn’t actually gone away. That’s the thing about real, deep heartache. Time doesn’t ever fully heal the pain, does it? It can be dulled, it can be momentarily forgotten, it can be lost amongst the more pervasive moments we must deal with day to day. But the heartache doesn’t leave completely. And I’m struggling because I know that so much healing lies on the other side of sharing these heartaches—on the other side of eyes red and raw, on the other side of sobs and gasping for breath type crying, there is opportunity for healing, for empathy, for a willing soul to share in the grief. But I’m struggling because these heartaches run too deep. They cross over into many lives. They have already ...
Levi says thanks! 2 weeks post op Day after We had so many people praying for us, and for Levi, that I wouldn't have been surprised if Levi had been miraculously healed overnight. That, however, wasn't part of God's design. The blessings that came our way were surely Him though, working through prayers. Please be warned, I use the word "blessing" a lot in this post, which may become redundant to the reader, but that is the best word to use in this story...no pseudonyms for this one. I won't be telling people we were super lucky, or very fortunate, and I won't be giving credit to fate, or the universe. This story is about choosing to recognize blessings from God. So for those wondering how it all went down, here is what your prayers got us: From the moment of the diagnosis, I felt peace. I drove up to Orlando with Levi by myself, having spent some time on the internet the day before googling "abnormal infant skull"...
