It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later.

One thing about time is it certainly waits on no one.  Through all my attempts to hope, wish and pray time would slow down as much as possible, in order for the dreaded day to not come as fast, the day has come and gone. Oh how I wish there was some sort of magic […]

Christmas & Heavy Hearts

So, Christmas the most wonderful time of year, and me and my husband’s favorite holiday! This time of year should be filled with love, joy, lovely decorations, hot cocoa, or my favorite,  caramel brûlée latte from Starbucks.  Every year my husband and I have always held onto hope that the next winter season we would […]

Another year married, another year of empty arms- A letter to my husband.

My dearest handsome love, I can remember as if it was yesterday the day we got married, how exhilarated and filled with hope we were for our future. We made plans to travel, continue our education, add a pet to our little family and of course children. We actually discussed having children prior to getting […]
