There’s a song I heard for the first time in the sixth grade when we were shown a video by MADD. It’s name, If I Had Only Known.. I have always loved the song. It was, and still is, one of my favorite songs to play on the flute. But over the last two years…

An Update on Meg & Tips for Surviving Canine Chemo
It’s been almost a month since I last wrote, and a lot has changed … for the better! 🙂 First off, Meg seems to be doing really well.

Read moreHow’s Meg & Other Crazy Questions
I have officially decided the worst question anyone can ask me is, “How’s Meg?”. While I appreciate the genuine concern, the reality is there’s no real good answer. “She’s still dying.” “She’s still got an incurable lymphoma.” “She’s energetic at times but not herself.” Those are all the answers I want to give. They’re the…

Yesterday afternoon I pulled into the drive-thru at a local restaurant to order a late lunch. It took me eight minutes to get out of the drive-thru empty handed, after the lady taking my order provided the most horrible customer service I’ve ever received in a drive-thru.

We only picked up the Prednisone prescription last Friday…
Read moreLearning to Live with Canine Lymphoma
Saturday mornings are usually a comical routine around our house. I want to sleep in, and Meg-Meg, my four-and-a-half year old Cockapoo, wants to get up and play. In fact, I can usually bet that sometime between 5:45 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. I will be greeted with a sloppy wet pink tongue across my face. …

Imagine walking hand-in-hand along miles and miles of white beaches, sand as fluffy and soft as baking flour massaging your bare toes with every step. Above you are blue-gray skies. Beside you, the most pristine shades of blue you’ve ever seen slowly change colors before your eyes as the ocean waves sound off of Grace…
