Feeling hurts
They say that as a blogger you need to write consistently… they (whoever they are) are the same people that say that new mother’s should nap when the baby is napping… like the laundry and dishes will do themselves while you nap with your baby… My intentions are good but my main job is toContinue reading “Feeling hurts”
Timothy J Haughton
Today is a special day, today I get the honour of celebrating my best friends birthday. Every year I feel the same unmistakable honour and love and thankfulness that he was born but this year it’s so much bigger. I have seen Tim step up for me when I needed him or when the kidsContinue reading “Timothy J Haughton”
It’s a boat
Imagine if you will that dating is sitting or standing on a dock with someone that you are wanting to get to know. You talk for a bit but you realize that this person is actually not really someone you want to spend any long amount of time with so you kindly (KINDLY) say thankContinue reading “It’s a boat”
Part ten: goodbyes
On December 7th I woke up thinking about all the people in my world that I would be leaving behind, my parents, my sister, my Grandpa and aunt and my friends. That was the hard part, saying goodbye to them, knowing they would suffer the agony of death far more than I would. IContinue reading “Part ten: goodbyes”

Last year I wrote a poetic tale of our lives over the last 5 years, and I spoke about theContinue reading “another year past…”
St. Pauls Bloor Street
This morning’s service was one I won’t soon forget, it was like God was in the room with us as a community, holding us together, binding us and building up a group of people that love each other so much. It was an emotional service, with a final prayer at the end for Joshua andContinue reading “St. Pauls Bloor Street”
manna from heaven..?
There is only ONE alarm clock I will tolerate with any sort of friendly greeting in the mornings, and that is the sound of the coffee maker beeping it’s arrival at the finish line. The smell, sweet bliss to my nostrils that are so thirsty for the heavenly drug that that beeping offers them. MyContinue reading “manna from heaven..?”
Eating Alone…
We had dinner out tonight, got the boys all bundled up against the biting wind and buckled into the car and drove the 10 minutes to the local Swiss Chalet. I spent the day having ‘Me’ time, went to visit an old friend, got my hair done… we decided dinner out would mean that weContinue reading “Eating Alone…”
