Haddie Bo Bo, Did you know that day that it was your last?  That when you laid down you wouldn't get back up.  Did you know when you closed your eyes that day that they wouldn't open again?  Were you scared?  Did you struggle, or was it peaceful?  I have always told myself that you

Haddie, A few days ago I was having one of those weepy mornings.  I had gone on a walk early by myself and cried for the majority of it.  I came home and got Elo ready and we all got in the car to head to my doctor's appointment.  These have become a family affair

Haddie Bo Bo, There has been so much sadness in the news lately.  So many families losing their children.  I can't bring myself to read the articles because reading about their pain ignites my own pain in a way that sticks with me for days.  I know how they feel and I know what the

  Haddie Bo Bo,   Today was hard.  I woke up and you were my first thought. This should be my first Mother's Day without you.  But it's not.  Last year your Daddy and I went on a cruise over Mother's Day.  When we originally booked the cruise I remember the lady asking me if

We went to church today and then ran some errands.  By the time we got home it was nap time for everyone.  As I was putting Elo in her bed she said, "Mama, I don't want you to go to heaven."  Although we talk about heaven and how wonderful it is and that you are
