The Taste of Summer
For me, summer tastes like freshly picked berries of all sorts. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. I have been a berry picker since way back. Every time I pick a berry I am immediately brought back to childhood when life was much simpler, when I was young and free, without a care in the world.

Happy Father's Day from the Other Side
This Father's Day, our son will have no dad to praise. Not here on Earth anyways. Sadly, our son lost his father to a fentanyl overdose last August. I found him lifeless on my bedroom floor the morning after he died and my mind immediately went to our son Isaac, and how devastated he was going to be when he heard this dreadful news. I was having a mental breakdown myself, but how was our 10 year old son going to handle this? Of course my heart instantly broke for our son. I wasn't even able to call 911, thank God my superintendent was there to do this for me.

Dads Are No Joke
I'm sure that when my dad, Larry, became a father 32 years ago, he didn't expect to go through half of the things that he has had to endure with me as his daughter. Unfortunately, I have had a life long struggle with addiction and mental health issues, and countless bad decisions. I cannot begin to imagine what it must be like to be my father.
