My husband died. Yours didn’t! There….I said it! But why? Why did I say something so awkward and random? Because its okay! It’s okay to come up to me and talk about your husband and marriage. It’s okay to complain about this or that, and about your husband. I may not be able to enjoyContinue reading “It’s Okay”

The Reality of Grief
I had lunch with a friend the other day. She asked me something that I would have never have thought about. She asked me to choose 1 word to describe each of the months since my husband’s passing. This stumped me at first. I had been so busy living day to day, just trying toContinue reading “The Reality of Grief”
A Message From God
While most people were taking their end of summer vacations, (or staycations if they are Covid weary) or doing a big, fun activity with the family to celebrate summer coming to an end, I was planning a celebration of life service for my best friend. This was NOT how it was supposed to be! WeContinue reading “A Message From God”
Songs for the Heart
Songs have always been my outlet, my way to escape the world around me, and clear my head. These days, songs are what speak to me the most. I find the lyrics of the song are just as important, if not more important, than the beat. 4 months ago today, you left this world forContinue reading “Songs for the Heart”
Plans
2 years ago we had the biggest, scariest, most exciting event/decision happen since our bankruptcy. We closed on our house! But we didn’t just close on any house, we closed on the house we built together. We picked out the floor plan, colors, options, wrote scriptures on the wooden beams, and prayed over it all,Continue reading “Plans”
Love One Another
Driving to my sister’s house this afternoon, my car got stuck on the Disney movie soundtrack station on my streaming service. No matter how many times I tried, it just wouldn’t register that I was clicking another station. I just gave up and listened to songs from Frozen, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, and others of theContinue reading “Love One Another”
Worship
These last few months have been a struggle. My world came crashing down that day, and all my hopes and dreams for the future changed. My life, as I knew it, ended. And a new life started. Through it all, there has been one constant: God is with me. He wasn’t surprised by this, andContinue reading “Worship”
Fathers’ Day
While this day is a day to recognize and rejoice the fathers in our lives (Happy Father’s Day to you!), it’s also a solemn day for those who no longer have a dad on this earth. While this is our first year with that reality (as shown in the pictures) we can rest in theContinue reading “Fathers’ Day”
Hearts
It’s funny the things that come to mind and the word pictures God uses. I spent the weekend cleaning up the garage so we could move around in there again. I came across our Valentine’s gifts from Rick for this year. He decided to make them instead of buying something. This first picture, with theContinue reading “Hearts”
Easter
This Easter is so different for us in so many ways this year! The biggest one being the grief we are feeling after losing such a wonderful man! We are taking things day by day, minute by minute, grieving and missing Rick along the way. But because of today, the day we celebrate our RisenContinue reading “Easter”
