Dance in the Rain. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. I found my missing piece. After a long break, I am finally able to write again. In the past 4 weeks we have moved, gone to Lake Powell for a week, and planned and attended my brothers memorial.so writing just wasn't possible. Thursday, July 11, 2013, was a life saving day. It was the day of my brother's memorial. I had no idea how much I needed this. I have finally received closure from an impossible situation. A great weight has been lifted off me. I was fi...

Dance in the Rain. Friday, March 14, 2014. I constantly find myself resetting. Finding new normals each day, each week, maybe even each minute. But what is normal? Some idea I've made up in my head as the perfect way life. Because, for some reason my idea of normal always makes me end up falling short of my own expectations. And to this day, I don't even know what I expect from myself. I am fine.". But the constant beeping was going to drive me insane! Every few seconds a beep, beep, beep, beep. For inst...

Dance in the Rain. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Forgive me if sometimes I beat this subject over and over like a dirty, old, dead, gross, dusty, door mat. BUT- -I was watching the news the other day and I just have to get this off my chest or I think I might just burst. And we all know that is a remedy for disaster. He was talking about his mother and father. For those long eleven years his parents continued on their quest looking for their son. Never forgetting that he could still be alive. I do...While...

Dance in the Rain: Silence in Peace
http://www.themissingpiece777.com/2014/04/silence-in-peace.html
Dance in the Rain. Tuesday, April 8, 2014. I see shadows dancing across my face as the moon glistens upon the soft diamond snow. I am amazed at the deafening silence the wintery woods hold in their seemingly innocent stillness. My breath, a cloud white mist, seems to be the trumpet of this quiet mountain. The moon is my flashlight and reflects off of each crystal of snow that exists to be seen. The woods seem to be lit as far as the eye can see. Midnight appears to be midday. My peace in paradise. Subscr...

Dance in the Rain: June 2013
http://www.themissingpiece777.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Dance in the Rain. Monday, June 10, 2013. Increased anxiety about this memorial fills me up inside. Is this going to feel like closure? I have no idea. I've never talked to anyone who's done a memorial. I've never talked to someone who had a "funeral" with out an actual body. I'm just grateful we get to do one for my baby brother Jesse. The invites have been passed out! The plans are in place. I hope this memorial brings peace to all those who have suffered the ache of Jesse's absence. Some in the family...

Dance in the Rain. Sunday, May 25, 2014. Operation Day.Part #1. I've had two surgeries since the beginning of this year. One was elective and one was unexpected. Thought and thought about whether or not to post about these experiences and I have come to the conclusion, that each experience can either tear you down or wake you up and build you into a new and better person. Each time I face a challenge, I face that choice. Let it tear me down, or let it let it build me up. I was so excited. I try with all ...

Dance in the Rain. Monday, November 4, 2013. It has been a long time since I last posted. After Jesse's memorial I couldn't see myself ever writing again. I had feared writing would stir up feelings inside me I didn't want to feel anymore. BUT- -late, late, late last night I decided to check my blog and read some old posts. Everyone is different and unique. Every experience we have in life influences us into the people we are today. Some people are soft spoken, some are loud, some are opinionated...My tr...

Dance in the Rain. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Have you ever had somone in your life that you know would be there for you with out a shadow of a doubt? Someone who would be on your side no matter what? Even if you were right or wrong) Defends you when you need defending, believes you when no one elses does, and loves you like you were their own child? Wait, maybe that's Tinkerbell) We all could use a boost sometimes. Too often, we find ourselves regretting not saying something when we had the chanc...

Dance in the Rain. Sunday, March 31, 2013. Looking Death in the Eyes. He's been fighting for years and still been sick most of the time. Since I have been in the health care industry I have witnessed 3 people die. When each person has died of course, I sobbed, and then I really start to reflect on my own life. This time, it is different. I know the entire family and patient. Looking death in the eyes makes me realize how unprepared I really am. It's a definite "NO" for me. I am going to take my old f...
