My Story

I signed up on this site in December 2008. I had every intention of starting a blog to chronicle my cooking and life adventures. I wanted to write about my boyfriend Bobby and our journey to parenthood. Our life together and the future. My mother, work, friends, all of it. My plan was to share.

It's now January 2010. What happened? Time slipped away, life got in the way and on the morning of January 28, 2009 I received a call that would alter my life in a way that I never imagined or prepared for. My mother had died. No warning, no goodbye, nothing. Gone. I am an only child and my father had passed away 8 years prior. All my grandparents had been gone for years. In the blink of an eye, one phone call, I became a 32 year old orphan. That's exactly what it felt like. Still does.

I have felt the need to write. I just haven't been able to. Now almost a year since that terrible phone call, it's time. Time to share my thoughts and feelings, to let it all out and to start what I intended back all those months ago.
