My journey through this world and how I see things….
During this time last year, I wrote on different stages of my thought process as I sought out help for my anxiety and depression. For those of you who have followed me over the years, you may recall how I bit the bullet and kept those appointments with my therapist. If you're new, here are… Continue reading Set Adrift
Escaping deep inside my mind, Unsure of what will be uncovered - What secrets I might find Or if who I was can be recovered? The tears that have run deep Is not simply because of you - There's a bigger reason why I weep, I forgot who I was - the person I… Continue reading Vapor
Try as though I may, I just can't outrun time - No matter how hard I pray. Memories will last me a lifetime. Running her brush through my hair, Wiping away the tears ever so gently - Showing me love with the utmost care. God, these thoughts appear intensely.

Well, yes, you see---the corner is small. However, the cemetery is rather vast. It's all about perspective. I… Continue reading The Graveyard
Thief in the Night It was a day and a night that I will carry with me to my grave. All four of us in the house were so very young that dreary fall morning. Moving myself into the bathroom to take a shower, I was fully prepared to go to my freshman class. Of… Continue reading Thief in the Night
I just read Lucy's mama's recent blog entry. ( http://www.erikandkatekrull.blogspot.com/ )I understand very well how she is feeling right now and I know how much it hurts.
