Semper Fidelis

May 29, 2018 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Yesterday was memorial day in the United States.  Every year, on the last Monday in May, we Americans fire up the grill, go to parades, ignite fireworks, buy red-white-and-blue everything, and celebrate the unofficial start of summer.  We hang our flags, complain about the heat, and have a drink or four to commemorate the day off from work.

Having All Your Birthdays in One Day

March 18, 2018 by Staci Sulin Leave a Comment

It’s his birthday this week.  March 22nd.  On this day, I will always “celebrate” Mike.  There will never be a March 22nd that I don’t spend with him.  On his birthday I purposefully choose to remember the way he lived.  I  celebrate the life and love we shared together.  This is how I try to honor him everyday – not just on his birthday. …

If What is Left, is This…then, yes~

March 13, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

As 5 years without you, edges its’ way ever nearer to me, and as my heart and soul hear the shuffle of time coming closer, creeping past, zooming closer, flying past.. As these ten thousand years have passed, since his death, as each nanosecond passes in the here and now, I remember how he loved me, how I loved him. I remember his calm spirit and…

Winds of Change

  Photo source: mapofthenight     Grief takes us to a secluded, dark place.   We hesitate.  We resist settling into this lonely realm.  But, in order to slowly breathe life back into ourselves, We have to temporarily take residence in this muted, mysterious environment,     I resisted this shadowy, hidden place for a long, long time.  I…

Vows

October 31, 2017 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I take thee, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health, until death do us part.   If he only knew what those vows mean.   He does though.  He always will.  Last Saturday, I stood as a groomsman at the very same altar where I was married to Megan.

Your Story is Worth Telling

April 2, 2017 by Sarah Treanor and Mike Welker Leave a Comment

If there’s something powerful about telling your own stories, there is something equally profound in hearing someone else tell your story to others. For centuries, we have been telling stories. Well before we could write, the most important and valuable knowledge we had as humans was passed down through stories and spoken word. And although our…
