Songbird

December 4, 2022 by Kelley Lynn 1 Comment

Thats how I feel. Blah. For the past couple of months or so, my body feels blah and tired and just drained, I guess. I’ve been having trouble getting out emotions. Its weird, but I got really sad about the death of Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie. Its not like I know her personally or anything. […]

Let it Be

July 3, 2018 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDYfEBY9NM4 It’s one of those “jumbled” days, where it feels like I have nothing worth sharing with the world.  Alison shared the same sentiment in her writing this past Wednesday.  I’m approaching four years of widowerhood, and I’ve been writing here for three and a half.  What else am I to say? I…

You’re a Mean One…

December 12, 2017 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Ahhh yes…the holidays.  It is a constant ride of ups and downs, like the world’s most depressing roller coaster.  Kicking off with Thanksgiving.  Spending time with friends and family, circled around a hearty dinner and laughter, I get to remember that Megan died just a week before that day.  I don’t get to remember the 33 prior enjoyable…

You Can Fly

November 17, 2016 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I sat down this chilly morning in Virginia to write this update. I’m working from my iPad here, and midway through I got up to take a shower. I closed my iPad. When I got back downstairs and opened it to continue writing there was, strangely, a song playing. I hadn’t opened the music app on this thing – ever. I don’t even know what music is on here…

The Last Straggler

December 31, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

It was still dark when I stepped outside the Holiday Inn near the Los Angeles airport where the airline had been forced to put me up after a snarl of delays and cancellations across the country left me unable to make my connection back to Hawaii. It was the final leg in a long day and a half of travel and I felt bleary and grungy, having spent the…

This Ringing

October 22, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I’ve noticed this past week how very loud my grief is in relation to all the other bits that make up the person of Stephanie. We all have our memories, milestones, accomplishments, regrets…all the things we did and that happened to us, combined with the sorts of personalities we are, making us the people we are now. But when you have this…
