Saturday, August 11, 2012. A Letter to My Brother. So many thoughts and emotions have crossed my mind and heart over the past 2 weeks. It started with shock. Surely that couldn’t be true. That 5am phone call. It couldn’t be MY brother they were talking about. My baby brother who was so full of life and laughter and energy. Who lit up a room the second he walked in. It couldn’t be him. Then almost immediately I was mad. At you. So very mad. How could you do this to us? I was just starting my new career!

Saturday, August 4, 2012. THE Nic Pritchard (Daddy). This is what my Daddy shared today. Love his willingness to be honest and vulnerable. Nic, This is for you, my son. I love you!

That is how I will remember my son. Questions with no answers. Not only does he have great friends, but he picked friends with great parents. We have bee...

Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Hope, hearts, and haunting eyes. On this Valentine's day, I'm reminded that pieces of my heart lay in cribs halfway across the world. There are 3 babies in particular that I do not think will ever leave my mind. I don't remember their names, but oh do I remember their faces. The first was a little guy with a head full of hair. The second was a blonde baby with piercing blue eyes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hope, hearts, and haunting eyes. Our Road to Adoption. Hope for Every ...

Sunday, July 24, 2011. European Adventures - Installment One: Atlanta and Brussels. It's nearing the end of July, which means that we have been back from Europe fr almost two months. I've debated for nearly two months what I wanted to write in a blog post about the trip. It's a beautiful (albeit HOT) Sunday afternoon, and this is my attempt at being open and honest and REAL about the trip. ALL 18 of us got on that flight. Directly to Paris! We didn't even have to have a layover! Our luggage did not.

Sunday, August 25, 2013. The blog post i don't want to be true. This is the blog post I promised almost a month ago…I’ve been working on it for a while, and then school started back and it didn’t get finished in time. I promised when this all happened, I would try my hardest to be honest with people. To be real about how this was affecting me. So here’s my closest attempt at honesty. Visit twloha.com to help you find local resources. If you’re a university student, check out your schoolR...Maybe it wo...
