The heart locket
Riley was walking down the street, and didn’t realize he was right across from her. What can she really do? She always felt defenseless and powerless. All she could think of was the day she was raped and that’s the last thing she wanted to think of. She didn’t want it to happen again. Then there he was covered in a pool of blood wanting you to come to him, but you kept running faster and faster. It felt like you couldn’t get away like more people were following you. Could it have been a dream?

I don't want kids
I just remember people mentioning that "I think you'll be a good mom when you grow up" while I was just playing with my Barbie dolls. Looking back doesn't make a lot of sense because there is no real work in taking care of a Barbie doll. But being younger I thought they were right. I would be a good mom. Until my nephew was born.

The life of a single mom to 4 girls
Moms can be seen as super heros, but what no one will tell you is we are in some ways take my life for example i am a mother to 4 girls two that are in the hormonal stages and two that are now sounds ok right? Well you are correct and incorrect you see been a single mom to four children is hard i will admit this to you. You have no time to think no time to have a five minute break you just simply do not have time then you have to add in the mix that these tiny humans that cane from you also come with a attitude and a world of problems at such a younge age who knew the world would be hard on them and it is.

Aging Matrimony
There was once a time that I always felt like the apple of your eye. I was the sun in your love’s universe. Beautiful poetry you wrote me celebrating our great love and how it came about. Books you crafted with your own hands, burning edges of pages and designing lovely boarders. Every word in each of these books I cherish. I read them again just the other day. I needed to remember. I know you love me, just as I love you. Our love is one for the ages; this is true. Then, life happens. Then a history of life happens. Six wonderful children we protect and parent occupying most of our time and consuming all of our disposable income. We both understand that the sacrifice is an investment in our family’s future. Many a football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, cheer leading, band and dance events and games we have attended, coached, supported and of course funded over the years. Very time consuming and physically taxing all of the running around can be, leaving little “mommy and daddy time”. When we finally return from our children’s activities you are fatigued and drained and I am left to talk to myself as you nod off to our favorite program.

The Big C
It started a little over a year ago. My handsome husband wasn’t feeling well. Mike was short of breath and couldn’t make it from the recliner to the kitchen without stopping to rest, plus he was having pain in his left calf. It didn’t take long to find out he had blood clots in his lungs. They took him right from being diagnosed to being admitted to the ICU.

When Your Heart is "Just Too Big"
It all started when I saw a disabled man struggling and heard nothing but mockery from people I loved. At the age of nine years old, I was riding in a large van with cousins and few other family members to enjoy a Sunday lunch in another town. I didn't participate in any conversation, as I was the "quiet kid" who didn't speak up too often. Shyness was my main personality trait in my youth. I didn't want to say the wrong thing, as I've always hated confrontation, so I learned to just not speak at all.

Broken in fear
We have been married for 9 years now. In love for maybe two. Hated each other for at least 5. And two years...spent in limbo trying to figure it out. It’s at the end now. A marriage over. Broken and scattered. The betrayals and hurt between us enough to flood a river. Sharp words and sad intentions are all that is really left.
