On the last night of my Daddy’s wake, my brothers and I shared a few words with family and friends, who shared in our grief, celebrated our father’s life, and told us of the wonderful man he was to them when he was still alive.

Do You Remember Your Last Conversation With Your Mom?
What was the last thing you talked about with your mom? Ten years later, I can’t seem to remember for sure. Was it when I was squatting on the floor, administering an enema (please don’t Google what it means) that morning? Or maybe when I was feeding her dark chocolate ice cream upon orders of her strange doctor who always…

Snapshot: What I’ve Been Up To Lately
My niece is growing faster and faster, and I’m just grateful for the few moments we get to spend with her. We took her to Ocean Park on a holiday and while it was actually my dad who got a kick out of the Oceanarium, I was so happy to see this munchkin giggling and walking around the place. I…

My Dear Miranda Iris
It was over a year ago when I first found out about you. Back then, I wasn’t sure how I felt about you. More than anything, I was scared. Afraid that things would never be the same once you came into our lives. But I knew that those changes would somehow be for the better. I didn’t know you yet,…

Take It One Day At A Time
And just like that, the second week of the first month of 2013 is almost over. One of my friends, Patty (who’s always #totessobes!), shared that her parents say the first 12 days of the year usually signal what the weather will be like for the rest of the year.

Christmas Eve
It’s been four years. It doesn’t really feel that long unless I read my previous entries and I’m proven wrong. It has been that long. Five years ago was the last Christmas we spent with you, in an unfamiliar place that almost reminded me of Shake, Rattle, and Roll. I watched you get wrapped in sheets of powdered carbon, laying…
