“I Feel Bad”

Lindsay and her heart… The second most used phrase by Lindsay, which was only second to “Gabe stop” was “I feel bad.” She never wanted to upset anyone. She didn’t have it in her to be the bearer of bad news. She would say “I feel bad.” She never wanted to be the one to [&hellip

Playing the Role Pt. 2

“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy” “Yes, baby” “Um…” “Maaaaawwwwwwwmmmmmmmyyyyyy” “Come here honey, what’s wrong?” “Mommy, hold me” “Mommy, I don’t feel good” “Come here baby, Mommy’s got you” Lindsay was so great at this. I was her support with this. They never wanted daddy in all of this. Mommy is the “rescue”, Daddy is the “rescue” support. [&hellip

thanksGIVING (HOPE)

Several weeks ago I had the fortunate encounter with someone that God put in “my” life for a reason (read here). That someone is ‘Jason’. A simple introduction of himself to me, led to a simple introduction of him to the staff at Church, led to HOPE. I have been in touch with Jason here and [&hellip
