Ribbons In The Sky

It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. An afternoon that just begged for two people to take a much overdue ride. I must admit that I had always loved taking long rides in the country. Especially on a day when the sky was blue, and the grass that never really froze was still a somewhat shadeContinue reading “Ribbons In The Sky”

A Sprinkle Here, A Sprinkle There

Did you ever have a day when everything seemed to go wrong? A day you didn’t know which way to turn? Then as the day wore on, something good happened. Maybe it was just something small that warmed your heart. Maybe someone smiled or said an encouraging word. Perhaps that little something that warmed yourContinue reading “A Sprinkle Here, A Sprinkle There”

AND THE ANGELS WHISPERED

I must admit that tonight’s story has been stirring for a while. Although it continues to nudge me, I have no idea why and how I am to write it. So, bear with me as I try to figure out the path this story will take. In my journey over the years, I have metContinue reading “AND THE ANGELS WHISPERED”

THE HARVEST LETTER

I love writing Skyler’s Letters. What started out as a comfort to me now has evolved into bringing peace and comfort to many who have suffered the loss of a child, regardless of their age. The Harvest Message was originally written and published in October 2017. Skyler was born on July 1, 2016. It wasContinue reading “THE HARVEST LETTER”

FROM MY HEART FRIDAY

When my children were little, I enjoyed every minute with them. I loved watching them grow, witnessing their, oh so different personalities, listening to their dreams and wishes, and experiencing their loving hearts. They were kind children who grew into even more compassionate adults. They were taught at a young age to be responsible, andContinue reading “FROM MY HEART FRIDAY”

SALT OF THE EARTH

This is a story about an extraordinary woman who taught me about love and the true meaning of never giving up. Mary Rustine Transue was my grandmother. Some of my memories have faded, but those that have attached themselves to my heart are still bright and clear. First, a little background. Mary was born onContinue reading “SALT OF THE EARTH”

STARRY NIGHT SATURDAY

Today was beautiful and tonight even better. I enjoy sitting on my front porch as the sun starts to descend; inching down, shadows, and shades of evening changing into the night. I think it is God’s way of easing us into the darkness. Then, suddenly, the thick inked sky comes to life with millions of shimmeringContinue reading “STARRY NIGHT SATURDAY”

TOUCHED MY HEART TUESDAY

Today was a lovely day, even though it was a little warm. My husband and I had lunch out on this Tuesday. It is something special we enjoy doing; perhaps a little too much. None the less, it was a great time. Today, there seemed to be more senior citizens and more children than usual. OurContinue reading “TOUCHED MY HEART TUESDAY”

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM SKYLER

Skyler was born on July 1st, 2016. He was a beautiful little baby boy, with a smile that melted the heart of anyone who gazed at him. Little did we know that on July 29th, 2016, he would take his journey to heaven. We were devastated and heartbroken beyond words. As a way of dealingContinue reading “A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM SKYLER”

A LETTER TO MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN

Dear Mom, Today is Mother’s Day, and you are not here. I visited your grave early this morning and placed a container of pink and white petunias right below your name. I stood for a few moments talking to you and Dad, hoping somehow you could hear me. Although I talk to you every day,Continue reading “A LETTER TO MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN”
