Since I began this journey of child loss grief, I have painfully heard of too many parents and friends who have lost children of all ages. My first encounter was soon after losing Trey, my Room Mom my first year teaching opened up to me about her stillborn child. When I returned to work, I found several teachers that had miscarried. Two years ago, I had a Student Teacher who had lost her first child to stillbirth. Last year, a teacher started at our school who had recently lost her con to Cancer, he was ... read more »
I ended a big happy weekend last night by relaxing on the couch watching TV with my husband. I was about to drift off into an early bedtime when Secret Millionairecame on tickling my curiosity. The show takes successful professionals who make a lot of money and connects them with charitable organizations in a community. Without disclosign their wealth, they volunteer for and learn about these organizations. At the end of the show, they reveal their truth selves and their wealth and donate large amounts o... read more »

Ángel Nieto ha sido uno de los deportistas españoles más importantes de todos los tiempos. Durante sus años de actividad como piloto profesional ganó un total de 13 Campeonatos del Mundo de Motovelocidad o, como diría él, 12+1 sumando 90 victorias en Grandes Premios; este récord es solo superado por Giacomo Agostini y Valentino Rossi. En las fotografías se ve al gran Ángel Nieto en el puesto más alto del podio de la clase 125cc durante el III Gran Premio de Venezuela, celebrado en el Autódromo Internac... read more »
How do I love thee, Trey? Let me count the ways. But, HOW do I love thee when you're so far away, when the only time I bonded with you was in my belly? The guilt of not bonding with your during your short life pains me daily. How do you bond with a child you can't cuddle anytime you want? How can you bond with a son you know will die?The closest anyone came to bond with you is when you were living in my belly, when we did not know what was wrong. We lost all that was supposed to be you, but we gained wha... read more »
I was once told that since I have conceived a child, it would be easier in subsequent tries. I had such anxiety about my infertility when trying to get pregnant the first time. After we lost Trey, I worried that my chance to have children was lost. My husband and I were eager to try again, yet petrified of going through child loss again. Getting pregnant with Lorelei took less time but still filled me with anxiety again. At this point I had lost a child and had two chemical pregnancies that my husband ... read more »
May I offer you a tantrum? We've got a fresh wide assortment...and a lot more than we can handle. Since they are so popular, I though I would share them with the whole world because, you know, sharing is caring. And everyone knows what a selfless little being I am :) For the past year or so my whole family has been unsuccessfully trying to deal with a lot of attitude problems from our otherwise sweet, smart, charming and "absolutely impossible not to love" two and a half years old niece. It all s... read more »
During the last full week of school with my first grade students I was reading The Velveteen Rabbit which depicts the "life" of a briefly unloved stuffed rabbit who soon became a little boy's favorite toy. Upon meeting "Real" rabbits, he learned that he was not "real" and would never live like they did. Saddened he talked to the old rocking horse in the nursery who explained to him that he could INDEED become real by way of the magic the love the little boy gave him which would make him "Real". The boy b... read more »
