Anniversaries are weird. I remember each and every anniversary that was important to Don and I. However, what do I do with them now? Do I just acknowledge it in my head, smile and go about my day? Write out a sappy social media message with what would have been on said date? To just […]
Wow, 2017. Time is flying by too fast and I still feel like it was yesterday that Don died. When in reality it has been 2 years, 6 months and 2 days since my world changed. I am doing OK. I have tried dating and unfortunately I can’t stop comparing the guys to Don. I […]
This is has a hard post to write, I wanted to have some time to have been able to fully absorb the enormous amount of feelings that I went through in just planning this trip, seeing the trip through and then being able to digest the feelings that accompanied the trip. Our float plane waiting […]
I have been a widow for approximately 640 days. Crazy to think of it like that. For the last 640 days I have longed for my husband. Wished that cancer did not take away the one person that I loved more than life. During those 640 days I have become a stronger person, I know […]

Reentry Definition The act or action of reentering. The return of a missile or spacecraft into the atmosphere. The act of rejoining as a participant or member. I don’t have but one regret from the many years Don and I were together. My regret is that I didn’t maintain friendships. For so many years (before […]
Did you know that there is an etiquette to your wedding ring when you become a widow? I never really thought much about it. I never asked my Mom when she would remove her ring or move it to the right hand after my Dad crossed over. The thought never crossed my mind. But apparently […]
Summer of 1995 I am filled with anxiety that I can’t seem to shake whenever I think about spreading Don’s ashes in Alaska. I know that I will do it, but when I start to think about the plans and carrying it all out, I literally start to shake. I have little anxiety issues from […]
