Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
I am that mom. The one whose blog you may visit through guarded eyes, until you know I am having a “good” day. The one whose story you read with a tissue in hand, not quite opening your whole heart because it might just be too much to take in. The one who you talk to […]
I am not a hugger. I believe this is one reason why I am somewhat addicted to blogging and can easily pour my heart out with every tippity-tap of a key. I can handle a virtual hug. I can vent about the ugliness of grief or the insanity of day-to-day life and take in each […]
