Starting over is not just one of my favorite songs and album by Chris Stapleton, it is what my daughter and just did. When my wife died 6 years ago I wanted to move, however as many people, when dealing with loss and grief there is no rule on when “It’s time…” I spent theContinue reading ““Starting Over””

“Making It Through A Tough Year”
Just in time for the start of a new school year. I had the chance to interview via phone call, a young mother of two.

It is the sentence that every woman as well as every man in love wants to hear. Every child wants to hear their parentsContinue reading ““I Love You””
“Widower”
“Life’s journey has brought me to you and we shall continue together” the pendant says on the front. “Here’s to you, Here’s to me, Here’s to us. Semper Fidelis Love, Abby” She inscribed on the back.. Sharol always said that she was not the romantic one…as she would tell the listeners “Tyrone is the romanticContinue reading ““Widower””
