Recently, an acquaintance said to me, “It’s just not fair. Everything comes so easily to you. You’re lucky.*” I just stared back at her, biting my tongue. It does? I am? I know I’m blessed. I do. I have a wonderful husband who is my best friend, and I have awesome kidlings who make me...

 Day 59 – Today we got devastating news about Candi. (More at another time.) Day 60 – I missed another day. I knew while lying in bed that I was missing, but I chose not to get up. I was holding Candi’s paw over the side of the bed and didn’t wish to stop. This...

 The plan was big: Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California. The Grand Canyon, Route 66, Hoover Dam, Vegas, the beach, and lots of camping and sights in-between. Ten-plus days we expected to be gone. Instead, we saw beautiful Utah, a little bit of Arizona, and the inside of our car way too much. We left Wednesday night...
