The Worry List

I want to be completely honest with you because I want you to be completely honest with yourselves:

I never ever thought that I would lose a child to suicide. It was not a possibility...never on my Worry List. And it’s not like I’m a mom who didn’t have a Worry List. I did -- it was extensive. I worried about it all:

The Jay Crew

Just the other day, I was checking on the analytics page for this blog. It provides me with all sorts of info – number of visitors, number of comments, source of traffic, and more. One surprising bit of information jumped off the page and caught my eye. I have a follower! One (1) follower. Oh my goodnesss, how exciting.

Is he man... or Superman?

In honor of Spirit Week, I share this memory with you today:

During Homecoming Week in Jay’s junior year, one Spirit Day theme was Super Heroes. Although he’d never really taken much interest in Spirit Week before, this year, Jay jumped right in with a plan to impersonate Clark Kent. This was just about right for Jay...nothing too over the top or “costume-y.” (Maybe a cop out, right? Like your gorgeous neighbor who sashays into your cul-de-sac’s annual Halloween bash dressed as something really sexy and perfect, while you went all out with green face paint, warts and shredded duds for your ogre costume. Oh, I see how this is going down. Mm-hmmm. Sorry, I digress.)
