My Meme passed away this morning.
I was awoken to someone banging on my door at 4:30 this morning.
I am really numb right now. It seems like a horrible dream.
She is my angel on earth. She is my grandmother. She is my Meme.
I am really angry right now.

You know, it is one thing to go about life and never really give a smile from someone a second thought.
It is one thing to walk down the street and think you hear a bird chirp, but your not quite sure.
Being thrust-ed into a life you never wanted or never expected does something to you [...]
Upholding my “If you nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all” motto. I will write and give you information about the recent Lead concerns in our children’s toys.

Not a fun day! They have to sedate him. I am not looking forward to that. There is an article that describes sedation in people with dwarfism.
Out of the major concerns are: Apnea, [...]
I had a scare last night! At about 5:50 this morning, I woke up and as usual, I looked over at Knoah in his bed. I can see his little chest rising and falling. Some nights I can hear him sleeping. He’s a snorter. He is usually breathing heavy and loud and that reassures me [...]

When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip [...]
A relationship that is. Especially when you your dealing with a special needs baby, two mouthy, demanding children and work.
The demands of work, other people and life in general pulling you all directions. You want to make time for your spouse, your marriage, your life.
I don’t know, but I know Will and I are doing [...]
