image here There’s three things in life that have completely taken me by storm, my first year of marriage, the first year with my son without sleep, and losing my Dad. These unexpected surprises and difficulties would have been alleviated if I had fair warning but no one said a thing! Like a, “hey maria,...
First I must recap my whirlwind birthday! Husband got me a barely used subaru forester=happy news. Saying goodbye to pop (dad’s old car)= sad news. Rushed back home to blow out candles on top our ice cream cake with sister after making her favorite meal; my marinara sauce and pasta! Gideon pops my huge birthday...
Can’t believe its been two years since we said goodbye to Dad, the most invincible, smartest, and caring doctor you’ll ever meet. I’ve learned and grieved so much since then and yes still the sadness remains, its become a part of me. I remain shocked at how a supposed veteran of faith (believer for 16...

These words really ministered to me, Maria. Thank you.
