A Wound Far From Closure
This is equally a love letter to my mother during her Sagittarius season and on her birthday as it is a letter to others to keep the memories of those we have lost present. In grief, I have learned how to internalize those random pieces, these truly glorious parts of my upbringing. Of my parents' authenticity. Things I should never forget. For my mother (and father), I will live in a way that honors and inspires others to remember those who are only gone in form, never in spirit.

A Letter to My Son
Dear Samuel, Today is your sixth birthday - it doesn't even seem possible that you've been on this earth and in my life for six years (close to seven if you include pregnancy). On the one hand, you are such an intricate part of me, and we are inseparably linked forever. On the other hand, you are your own person, and I am reminded of that with each passing day.

Christmas Phone
It was Christmas Day. The tree was decorated with lights, ornaments, and tensil. Four stockings hung above the fireplace with their names on them. Colored lights and blow-up characters illuminated the outside of the house. Snow covered the rooftops in the neighborhood. The sunlight glared off the snow on the ground.

My husband
I met my husband 13+ years ago. I wasn’t looking for a relationship at the time. We were friends before it turned into something more. Despite so many obvious differences we had so many more similarities. We are from different cultures, ethnicities, socio-economics, age groups and have different religious beliefs. Yet we connect so well. We have a similar sense of humor. We both love old movies and classic music. We love the theater and outdoors. We like the beach and sun. We like the mountains and hiking. We love family, wine and food. We’re still different enough to keep it interesting as well.
