I sometimes wonder what I would be like, what my life would be like, and what kind of person I would be if I didn’t have Corey or if Corey didn’t have autism. It’s something I typically think about when I am feeling down and defeated. When taking care of Corey is kicking my ass. [...]

What he meant to say…
When SE kept saying he didn’t think he wanted to get married again what he meant to say was he didn’t want to marry me. Or maybe he was just saying what he sensed I wanted to hear. Either way Y finally couldn’t hold the news in any longer, SE announced at Christmas he is [...]

Paper thin…
I heard the most amazing story on my way home from work yesterday. Inspiring and just amazing. I have had “Stand” by Sly & The Family Stone in my head ever since.

Thy creature, whom I found so fair.
I trust he lives in thee, and there
I find him worthier to [...]

Life is short…
As soon as I came in to work today I got an IM from a friend and co-worker to come and see her. Brandi is the HR admin and she and I do our share of talking about work. Who is vulnerable, who isn’t, what can we do to be one of the [...]
