day eight: i am thankful for the option to believe.  silly monkey believes.  he believes i am the greatest person to walk the earth.  granted, he also believes in santa, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, the sandman and dragons (as evidenced while we took in two showings of “how to train your dragon LIVE“).  […]

dear mom – i awoke the same this morning as most other mornings of the past few months… with a mad dash to the bathroom.  baby bladder.  after gathering myself and my thoughts, i headed down to silly monkey’s room to get him up to enjoy a little sunshine before i had to scurry to work.  i […]

I CAN’T SLEEP NOW, NO, NOT LIKE I USED TO. I CAN’T BREATHE IN AND OUT LIKE I NEED TO. IT’S BREAKING ICE, NOW, TO MAKE ANY MOVEMENT. WHAT’S YOUR VICE? YOU KNOW THAT MINE’S THE ILLUSION…

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU THOUGHT OF ME? OR HAVE YOU COMPLETELY ERASED ME FROM YOUR MEMORY? I OFTEN THINK ABOUT WHERE I WENT WRONG. THE MORE I DO, THE LESS I KNOW…

dear mom: i thought this year’s anniversary would be different.  i admit, i didn’t cry yesterday.  or the day before.  though each and everyday for the past two weeks, i’ve felt a painful twinge right here, in my heart.  when i woke this morning without doubling over in sadness, i figured i could perhaps make […]

i hate shopping for greeting cards.  i inevitably run across the ONE section i so very miss choosing cards from. DAY ONE HUNDRED and SIXTEEN: the MOM section… i used to buy my mom a card every month or two, for no reason at all, in addition to the holiday & bday ones.  i loved […]

DAY SIXTY NINE – please allow me to introduce you to the ugli fruit… pretty ugly, huh?  in fact, the uglier it is, the tastier it  is.  it’s sort of a cross between an orange and a sweet grapefruit… (yea, they’re wrong). my mom and i used to come across these when we went on […]

[ok, so i’m breaking the rules.  or re-creating them.  considering i’ve been too busy over the past few days to post the photos i took for days 20-22, it’s not likely that i’ll get through all 365 days of taking photos and actually posting them on THAT day.  so this will have to suffice.  b/c […]

i am PROUD (–adjective:   feeling pleasure or satisfaction over something regarded as highly honorable or creditable to oneself). extremely proud of two amazing people who have blessed my life in more ways than either of them could ever imagine.  and it’s not b/c i don’t tell them.  it’s b/c they have humility and modesty […]

few things don’t remind me of my mom.  in fact, my sister and i have this ongoing “thing” where we challenge each other to find five things that don’t remind us of her.  so far, i have…   tootsie rolls.    yep, regular ‘ol chocolate wax tootsie rolls.  and i’m not even sure that i can count tootsie […]

dear mom: it’s taken me quite a bit longer to get this letter out than i had anticipated.  usually, i have words free-flowing and ready for the day i am blatantly reminded that you are no longer here with me.  but august 2nd came and went.  and i was left speechless.  still heartbroken.  it hurts to […]
