About 2 weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to make a change. Timehop ( Facebook posts, images that often time remind you of how responsible you were) kept popping up reminding me how much smaller I was and unfortunately, that kinda got me down. I didn't want to do a fad diet but do [...]

For a split second, I began to think,"How am I 30 years old in this position, I wish I had ( insert numerous things if my circumstances were different)." But it was literally for a second until I reminded myself " Don't start, You are doing a damn good job with what you have and [...]

Waking up to see your eyes swollen like this hurts my heart. CHD I wish you never existed. Why did you choose my son... or any child? CHD you've forced me to learn things and go through moments I would not wish on anyone. Swollen eyes = Fluid retention , which = poor heart function [...]

When people ask me how I manage my days my response is usually, "I Do Not Know." That is just the honest truth. For some sad people they think that I just stay at home all day with Jax and we have a grand ole time. That I haven't made any progress. How naive of [...]

In the past 800 days I've seen you go through 2 Picc line surgeries , 3 Broviac placements 16 broviac repairs and 2 biopsies.

Now that I'm older and have been through certain situations, I know that sometimes the only thing you can do for people is to pray for them and give them/it to GOD. It takes up too much time to wonder why they act the way they do or say the things they say. You can't [...]

You were always that friend that pulled me out of that bad state and lifted me up. Made me see the brighter side of things. You also convinced me to do things I never thought I would ( like enter a contest at club 7 😂, go and hang out with guys you met off [...]

My ex sent me a video of Jax a few days ago when he was still dependent on wearing diapers. Everyday on my timehop I am reminded of how small,fragile but strong Jax was. Jax has been receiving therapy since he was 4 or 5 months old. Speech, Occupational & Physical Therapy have been key [...]

Have you every thought that you loved someone so so much that you couldn't imagine your world without them? That the thought of losing them you would somehow lose apart of your identity? I had those thoughts. 😑 I (naively) had thoughts like ," I've had a baby and now have stretch marks, who will [...]
