Callie, When We Meet Again?
For our anniversary, my husband contacted his mother and told her that he wanted his cat, Callie, to be brought to me as my anniversary present. This was for our second wedding anniversary, and he could not physically be there himself therefore entrusted his mom to take care of it. (Big mistake, but whatever!)

30 Days Being Thankful In 2021 Pt. 3
Day 17 I am thankful that my son knows how much I love him and even if I am hard on him, he knows that it is because I want him to succeed in life. If I am hard on him, it shows how much I love him and how I want the best for him. Whether he likes what I say or not, he will later see that I did what I did for him and his sister.

30 Days Being Thankful In 2021 Pt. 1
To honor my son, and my mom, to which we had big milestones coming in November, I deiced to only say this year what I am thankful for in considering them, until Thanksgiving itself, and for the whole rest of the month after. This year my mom has been gone for 20 years, and that is a big milestone that I do not even like to think about. And my son turns 19 years old.

The Moment That Changed Me
The event that changed my life forever is one I will never forget. The person who was my best friend, my mother, my girlfriend, my sister, my rock, my everything passed away. And left me all alone. Without a friend in the world. Or that is the way that I felt. And sometimes that is the way that it was. My mom was an amazing person. And when I lost her… It completely changed my life. And not for the better. When my mom died, I drank… alcohol. I drank probably more alcohol than I should have been drinking. I was not eating and that could have made the drinking worse. I never drank enough to be considered an alcoholic or even drunk, But I am sure if my kids read this article, they would insist even more than they already do, that I do not ever drink again.
