I'm still here.

2007-12-04T18:24:12Z

I haven't been writing much. I know I've wanted to but the ability to open up and express myself hasn't been there. It's just not in me. It's as if that part of me has died. I used to write only about the beautiful aspects of my life. I loved bein...

Why?

2007-07-23T19:20:30Z

Sometimes I don't understand why. When did I stop caring? Why did I want my freedom? Why did I feel so unloved? How did it come to this? I suppose that I'll never stop asking myself why. I would like to think I'll move on, maybe even find happi...

Give a damn.

2007-07-13T20:03:47Z

I want to admit something. I think it was I who gave up long before he did. I think it was me who stopped loving as I should. I know that I was leaving him a long time ago. I think that over the course of time, he, too, was leaving me, but hadn'...

The reality of divorce.

2007-07-12T21:02:31Z

Sadly, I must report that my husband and I are still separated and planning to divorce. Oh, I do have good days. It isn't always sad. Don't let my prior silence give off the impression I dwell in sorrow, although I can't always write about cooki...

Singing "peace." All is well.

2007-01-26T07:16:50Z

I just want to apologize to everyone for being so scarce lately. I've been really devoting my time and love to my husband lately. And of course my little son. I've also been finding myself quite obsessed with baking and cooking foods of all sorts....

Love in my heart

If you read the post below, you'll know I'm having a bad, rotten day. However, I have hope. The hope I carry in my heart is my best attribute. Matthew and I are taking William to grandma's for the night and so he and I can have some time to heal ...

It's the little things

2007-01-20T02:31:26Z

I have a really wonderful father. He was and is so good to my mother. He goes to work every day. He works hard to provide for her. He's responsible. He comes home, often gets dinner, he does his own laundry. He always remembers her birthday, the...

To The Bride and Groom of Vox - Cate and Iain.

2007-01-11T10:54:35Z

By the power that Christ brought from heaven, mayst thou love me. As the sun follows its course, mayst thou follow me. As light to the eye, as bread to the hungry, as joy to the heart, may thy presence be with me, oh one that I lov...

For the married man who forgets

2006-12-11T23:45:16Z
