Last Friday, Caleb and I were on our way to Canton, IL…to Holly’s house.

I’ve written several blogs already today and deleted every one of them. Blogs filled with fear, hurt and anger…oh, yes…the anger. But, today, I needed something to lift me up above those feelings.

We followed our normal (read: insane) getting home routine which involves everyone getting upstairs, getting . . . → Read More: Now this is what I’m talking about!  Yesterday, I put my fragile X carrier anxiety on full display for you1 and once again I’m reminded why my life has been 100,000,000,000 times better since I’ve become involved in the fragile X community. If you didn’t read the comments, you should go back and do that. To sum up…this was . . . → Read More: Once again, I am reminded of what it means to have a community.  I’ve been having an argument with myself for several weeks. The circus is back in town and Caleb wants to go. He asks to go to the circus several times a week and I keep telling him, “Not today.” He no longer remembers his first trip to the circus, how could he…just look at . . . → Read More: I’m not always that brave.  As much as I love reading, I’ve always been pretty *meh* when it comes to poetry.
