EASTER II

I can not breathe. The pain just goes on and on and on. I want my life back, I want my child back, I want a do over, I deserve a do over. I deserve so much more than the hand I have been dealt. My family is destroyed, my life is destroyed, there is not coming back from this. Everything has changed. The seconds tick by, I can not escape, I do not know how any one does this, I do not know how they will themself to. I am not a weak person and I am not going to make it. I can not function without… Continue

Missing My Son, my light , but not my memories!

Lil D, was the nick-name our family gave to him. He was my only son. On Halloween in 1993, I gave birth to my son denny it wasn't easy delivering a 10lbs. 8oz. baby but when it was over, St. Anthony's Central staff asked if they could use lil D as the bath model baby.

EASTER

I spent the morning in bed trying to talk Em. I did not see the kids open their baskets and they are looking for eggs at their grandmothers house later. I told Emmie all about Easter morning and what she should be doing and how I know she would react to different things. I told her about the Dora watering can that would have been in her basket and how much fun we would have watering the flowers out front this summer. I told her about her little green dress she is supposed to be wearing today… Continue

A CHILD NEEDS THEIR MOTHER

I want my child. I have spent a month here without her. The most excruciatingly painful month of my life. A month that would have been better off not lived. A month I would happily give up to be with my baby girl.

A child needs their mother. This is a fact. I know this fact in so many different ways, however none of them align. A child needs their mother. I desperately needed mine growing up, but she got sick when I was 10, died shortly after I turned 11. She was not there to tell me… Continue

Memorial Celebration Exhibition

I was recently asked to curate a memorial exhibition for a friend who had lost her husband. He was a retired WWII Veteran with a rich, full life. I took photos, quotes, articles and artwork from his life and made a slideshow and art/photo exhibition that celebrated his life for his family and friends who gathered for the celebration.

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a life. I was so honored to be a part of sharing the joy and remembering the impact his life made.
