Memories of pop-pop | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.

June 20, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. My Pop-pop passed away last week. Tonight is his memorial service in Orlando, where I grew up. I'm really sad to miss this celebration of his life. My Pop-pop was my mom's father. Pop-pop was a brilliant man, and had an amazing wit. Though he could often be grumpy, he would always surprise you with a sarcastic comment or clever comeback, even in the midst of an argument. Pop-pop had a sense of humor about himself and . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Lola

June 18, 2019

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Love’s Labor’s LOST | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.

June 13, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. You know how on LOST, they have to go back and re-live the traumatic experience of the plane crash?

And yet, they know there is no getting around it. So they brace themselves, try deep-breathing, and just hope that this time isn't as bad as the . . .
