I promised earlier on that one day I’d share my story of how I became a puppy-mom to my black Lab, Oboe. Since we’re mere days away from celebrating his tenth birthday, I thought it was time to share his story.
When I was first diagnosed with cancer back in 1997 and I learned that [...]

Now that I’ve been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a lot of our questions have been answered. We now know why I often am dizzy, why I am forgetful and clumsy, why I’m sometimes silly – all behaviors are now accounted for. It’s the M.S. But, what then is my husband’s excuse? He doesn’t have M.S., [...]

Christmas is easily my favorite holiday, but I have some fun Easter memories, too. Easter Sunday always provided the most beautiful Catholic mass when I was an active and practicing Catholic.
