Launching my First born!
Perhaps this is too personal to put on this blog. It is the letter I wrote to Emily this evening. It sort of captures some of the feelings I am experiencing as she moves to Biola to start her college experience tomorrow. Dear Emily Ruth, I am sitting here listening to you laugh and sing…
Floribama!
Most of you know I recently went to Florida and Alabama, while my kids were in Chicago, for a much needed visit with my relatives. It was fantabulous! Highlights include parasailing with my Aunt Crystal, a fresh shrimp boil, trying alligator (tastes like chicken), a free t-shirt (and food) from Milos, Tortugas pizza (best in…
8 months ago Jim inhaled Heaven for the first time!
Today I took off my wedding rings. I don’t know if it is a big deal or not or if I will put them back on eventually . I guess it was a way of closing a door that I didn’t want to close. I need help to believe I am no longer married. I…

Emily Mohler Graduates!

A Graduation Blessing
Emily’s Senior class at church had a banquet to honor the graduates tonight. The parents were asked to write a blessing to share with their student. Here is the one I read to Emily. Dear Emily, I am so grateful to be your mom. I used to say it was the hardest thing I have…
6 Month Anniversary
I am not sure if I am following any sort of “normal” grief pattern, or even if there is such a thing, but at 6 months I can say that for me the fog seems to be lifting in this valley, the shock is wearing off, and I am realizing that I have to make…
