I have been asked to be a guest blogger for Riley Children’s Hospital, where our son received much of his chemotherapy and treatment for leukemia. I will periodically be writing entries on this blog that pertain to our “Riley Journey.” The hospital will then pull entries they feel are appropriate and put them on theirContinue reading “The Truth About Riley Nurses.”

Parental Brain Delay
Do you remember those commercials several years ago that showed two images and claimed: “This is your brain…” and, “This is your brain on drugs?” Well, I think maybe we could draw a similar comparison in another category called: “This is your brain…” and, “This is your brain now that you have a seriously illContinue reading “Parental Brain Delay”
Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
I stood frozen, unblinking and holding my breath. I felt anxious, unsettled and nervous. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. …and it did. It was a size 5 boys black dress shoe to be exact and it fell from our second-story landing onto ceramic tile below. You see, I had heard whatContinue reading “Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop”
The Popcorn Bowl.
What do I think of when I think of true love, commitment, and romance? You’ll probably never guess. Ok, maybe if you read the title of this post you’ve got a good idea. Otherwise, would you believe our popcorn bowl is what triggers reminders for me of how much I love my husband? Yeah, itContinue reading “The Popcorn Bowl.”
A Fairy Tale Life
I got nervous at dinner the other night. My three-year-old, who had just watched the movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, began sharing her opinion about what each of us around the table should be named if we were, in fact, one of the Seven Dwarfs. Now if you recall, the Dwarfs are fatContinue reading “A Fairy Tale Life”
34.
23 years ago today my Mom, Mary Miller, died suddenly of a heart arrhythmia. She was 34 years old. This Friday is my birthday. I will be turning 34. I’m going to be very honest here and admit that I’m struggling with turning 34. It has nothing to do with aging and I’m not oneContinue reading “34.”
Starter House.
It was just another moving Monday. That was our move day. Now it’s all done day. Just another moving Monday… We have successfully changed our home address. And yes, we moved on a Monday, just over two weeks ago. We had a three month whirlwind that picked us up and plopped us down a fewContinue reading “Starter House.”
5 Years Ago…
I’m such a processor. I think and reflect often about my life. And, when an anniversary or significant reminder rolls around, I am especially pensive. Today is one of those days. Today marks the 5th anniversary of our son, Karson, being diagnosed with cancer. For me, writing is therapeutic. I started a blog just aContinue reading “5 Years Ago…”
Delivering Hope
As wonderful as it was to be a part of the assembly process of the 7,000 Super Baskets of Hope on Monday, it’s been just as special to help deliver a few of them. Although most of the 7,000 baskets were shipped across the nation to the 32 NFL cities, Indiana got to keep aContinue reading “Delivering Hope”
Super Baskets – Super Success!
It is a day that we’ll always remember. It was unique, adrenaline filled, fun, at times chaotic, emotional and most likely…once in a lifetime! It was Super Baskets of Hope Day! As I wrote about in my previous post (A Full Circle…Woven in a Basket of Hope) our worlds collided yesterday, January 30th, 2012. OverContinue reading “Super Baskets – Super Success!”
