Tears dripped down my face as I turned another page. I banged my fists against the sheets and put the book down on my lap- “Why God? Why do you take good people but leave bad? Why would you allow people to have hope when you know their loved one will soon be leaving them? […]
I took the good night stories, clean sheets, dinners on the table by 6 pm, my black and white uniform hung up on a plastic hanger-ready for me in my light green room every game day- for granted. The tuck me in’s, play a game with me, be in the stands cheering me on was […]

Hello friends! Can you all believe next week is Thanksgiving?! Per usual, life is moving at record speed. Last weekend my oldest daughter, Jayde, and me spent the weekend together in Omaha.
