First Day
She sat in his still dark room watching him sleep, his blonde curls, newly cut, fell across his eyes. His round cheeks remained pink even in sleep and his little ski-slope nose turned upwards just like hers. His coloring, his features, even the way he slept, sprawled across the entire bed , were all her. But his body, solid and muscular, even at five was all his dad’s. Tears streamed down her face as she inhaled the last few moments of this cocoon that had enveloped her, Joey, and her husband Derrick. She had resisted the inevitable, but it had come. The red alarm clock with the fireman’s hat on top startled the air with a jarring ring and bounced up and down, announcing that it was time to get up.

What Is Abandonment Fear and How Can It Be Fully recovered?.
What Causes Abandonment? Children need love and care to develop properly. If a child or adult is neglected or abused emotionally or physically, they may develop abandonment issues. When adults or children are abandoned, it may be because of death or divorce (separation and divorce). When adults experience abandonment issues, the situations may be tied to childhood experiences. Unfortunately, abandonment issues are often difficult for people to talk about.

My Three Miracles
Like everyone, I have a lot of stories in my life, some are great, and some are horrible. I am a child of trauma. I grew up learning how to avoid abuse, I learned how to be invisible, and I felt disposable. Even as a young child, I could see that I came from a long line of generational trauma. I could see the disfunction of my parents; I could see the dysfunction of their parents before them. So before I understood the complexity, even before I had the words or catchphrases to express the damage of trauma, I knew that I wanted to break the chain. The most obvious way was not having children; that was the simplest and easiest solution. So as other girls my age dreamed of the families they would build, I dreamed of how to survive the one I already had, and I had made up my mind not to have children.

My First Road Game
My First Road Game Old hockey bums fall into two and only two categories; there are the has-beens and the never-wassers. I am a card carrying member of the latter category. However, I make it a matter of principle to never miss an opportunity to remind sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, and anyone else unfortunate enough to caught within earshot, that I really should have been a has-been had it not been for a tragic career ending injury. This dissertation usually climaxes with a statement borrowed from Reader's Digest, “And the older I get, the better I used to be.”

So, What is a Flibberty Gibbit? by Belinda Flack
On one cool crisp winter’s morning in Santa’s workshop in the North Pole, Santa spoke to his trusted elves: “My dear elves, it has come to my attention that we are all out of wood to make new toys for the good boys and girls for next Christmas. I need some volunteers to head out into the woods tonight and cut down some willow trees, so we can get to work first thing tomorrow morning”. Upon hearing Santa’s request the little elves muttered to themselves, “Oh I’m too old to venture out into the woods” one said, another mentioned “me Ma never lets me go out after dark, so I can’t go” then Jimmy the silliest and youngest little elf said “I will go! But only if I can wear my nice new red wellies and, oh yes, if Jake comes too”. Jake was a very sensible elf. He always turned up to work not a minute late nor a minute early. He always ate his lunch on time and made sure that his shoe laces were tied neatly together. He had lovely manners and never left crumbs lying on the lunch table after gobbling up his Mother’s delicious gingerbread pie. When Jake heard what Jimmy said he stopped and stared and just gulped with fear. His eyes became very large and very round. It seemed that he was pinned down on the very spot. You see Jake didn’t like going out when it was dark, he’d heard that there were hungry foxes and hares that came out at night looking for little elves to eat…
