Remembered

Mother’s Day 2023
Mother’s Day this year looked very different from last year. Last year, Theo and I were blessed with a trip to get away, as Archer had just passed about three weeks before. This year, we were in a ‘normal’ routine. I use normal very lightly because I no longer know what normal looks like. Some…

Wonder & Awe of Christmas
For the first time in a few months, and maybe even since Archer passed, I look at pictures and smile. Of course, I still cry because it makes me miss him. The pictures of the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” remind me that Christmas with Archer truly was wonderful and magical. When you have…
