I Want To Go Home

Stuck in a hospital bed, full of pain and endless thoughts going through his mind of his near future. The doctors told us it was a matter of time before he would die, so we spend as much time as we could with him. As the family gathered in the room enjoying our time with…

It Wasn’t My Fault

Through the years, I have created a protective shield from failure. I hate failure with a passion because my whole life had been trying to earn acceptance from people. And when I didn’t get it, I felt like I had failed them and myself. That feeling of letting people down was a pattern in my…

I never gave up on you!

He didn’t get it for me

As I was sitting in the coffee shop I couldn’t help but over hear a conversation that really just made me cringe. Sometimes when I am sitting there, there will be some trigger words that will always catch my attention. This time it was the word “Church”. So oh, they must be Christians was my…

This is not our home!

For most of us we spend out entire life trying to build something that we can be comfortable with. When we are born into our family who takes us in, and we start to establish that connection with our mom and dad. Then we start to grow up, for some of us brothers and sisters…
