My Journey to Motherhood
My journey to motherhood began later than most. I was married when I was 33. I was finished with school and almost done with my PhD program. The man I married lived in Florida so I picked up and moved across the US to be with him. We wanted a family right away, but it did not happen.

True Love
I can remember, from my much younger days, falling in love, over and over again. I fell in love with dogs, toys, movies, fishing, and a mud pie I made one afternoon while playing in the yard. I’m not referring to the love you feel with another person, but rather a thing, an object, a passion. It may seem I let my heart roam free, but that’s not always a bad thing.

Not even the incandescent yellow of a setting sun can reverse her pimple skin. Not even the dull annoying laughter of the ten pound tippers can remove her from the rice field.

Parents are Made, Not Born.
Parents are Made, Not Born Every person was brought into the world because two humans came together and with a combined effort they were made. Anyone with working parts and the ability to assemble a simple jigsaw puzzle can begin the process of making a baby. Making a human is easy; the hard part is becoming the parent that they will need and deserve to have. This task is not for the faint of heart some walk away and give up or never show up to see through this joint endeavor. Many nights are spent sleepless, sacrifices made daily, efforts go unnoticed, tears are cried out of joy, fear, and pain. So why do people take on this task if it is so difficult and taxing? People continue this ritual out of a basic physiological drive and pure ignorance of the path that is ahead. Children may be created in mere moments but parents are developed over a lifetime through experience and with a self-sacrificing spirit.

Lessons From My Terminal Grandmother
The Big C In the Fall of 2018, my father received a call from his Aunt Elizabeth who had grave news. My Omi (which means grandmother in German), was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer that had spread to her liver. She would need chemotherapy, drives to and from doctor’s appointments, and help around the house. Considering the estranged relationship between my father and his mother and my daytime availability since I was in school at the time, I felt it was my duty to step in. Selfishly, it was also an opportunity to not live at home anymore – as if subbing out one adult’s abode for another meant I was more independent.
