Maiden Post

I've thought about it, talk about it and in honor of Mother's day, I begin my blogging adventure. I intend to use this space to share my musings on grief. Grief as I have experienced it thus far; somedays as an invader other days a great teacher.

I also plan to share stories of my two sons, Gunnar and Hayden. I will begin with Mother's past.

I smile as I recall artwork from their preschool years--purple and blue handprints bedazzled with glitter and sincere attempts printing their names--the best.

I am going to brunch with friends this Mother's day. I am thankful for good friends.

As I reflect on past Mother's days I am full of gratitude for the wild and glorious ride of motherhood.
