From One Fatherless Kid to Another

I had intended to write another in the series of Ava-isms, but I just couldn’t let the passing of someone so important simply go by with out any words at all.

By now, I’m sure everyone knows that Steve Jobs passed away yesterday, at the not very old at all age of 56.  So much has already been written in the few hours since his passing- about his work, his vision and how both of those things changed the world.  I learned of his death from a text message on my iPhone, the very device that has been the flagship… Continue reading

On Changes

There is a moment each morning when I awake, before my eyes open, that I don’t remember.

Then I peer out at my surroundings and through the fog my brain registers the difference.

So without further ado, here’s a list of a few of the things I especially dislike.   Hopefully, I won’t  have to start another blog just to contain it all.  :)

Helpless

That word describes a lot of how I’ve been feeling and what I’ve been dealing with lately.

I took a week vacation while my mom visited.  The week following that my husband and I were both sick, and as a result, were off work another week.  I was able to spend a lot of time with my daughter.  The kind of time I haven’t had with her since she was born and I was on maternity leave.

Walking away from her that first Monday morning to go back to work was agonizing.  Some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt… Continue reading
