Let me just start by saying that I rarely get sick. I pride myself on that fact. Like maybe I have some kind of superhuman immune system that refuses to allow viruses and bad bacteria into my body.

Just For You Jonathan, On Your Birthday
Dad proud of his third child. I have said before that I hope this blog is still around when my kids are grown. I also hope that they will actually read all of my posts one day. From the funny ones that made me LOL to the heartfelt entries that were typed, as tears streamed […]
The Day My Mother Saw An Oncologist
I share things on this blog in an effort to have a record of my journey. I document my life for the world to see, in the hopes that I can find human connection and support, through experiencing life together. Today, I share my real life. Just like every other day. I have written posts […]

I love the ocean. It causes me to have bouts of tranquility. I am zero percent Zen. But if I ever was, I left it by the oceanside. The problem is I don’t live close to the ocean. So if I want to experience it, there has to be a whole production. My husband likes […]
