Grief, the gift that keeps on giving | Tales of the Phoenix
https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/grief-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving
Tales of the Phoenix. Grief, the gift that keeps on giving. December 1, 2010. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, my brother called. We don’t usually talk on the phone, so at first, I thought he called to ask me something. We chatted for awhile, and I stopped wondering why he called. Maybe he just called to chat? Until he said, “we have news”. I knew what it was immediately. I did a pretty good job of not losing it on the phone. But ever since then, I’ve been a mess. From → Uncategorized. Leave one →. I saw y...

Why I Want to Adopt | Tales of the Phoenix
https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/06/19/why-i-want-to-adopt
Tales of the Phoenix. Why I Want to Adopt. June 19, 2010. Do not attempt to adjust your computer screen. You are reading this right. I think I’m beginning to get used to this pattern. Just when I think the grief is resolved, it hits me again, when I’m least expecting it. Just when I thought I was over believing in miracle pregnancies, here I am, believing it might just happen for meagain. Denial. As Magic says, it’s his favorite river. Apparently, I’m fond of this river too. Sigh. 1 Genes do not make a f...

Update / “DM-lite?” | Disputed Mutability
https://disputedmutability.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/update-dm-lite
Reflections on ex-gay issues and other matters of faith, sexuality, and culture. Update / “DM-lite? Baby DM is very healthy, very happy overall, and she’s gone from cute to. Her moving in any way besides the half-roll, which obviously doesn’t get her very far, but today when she was playing on this big blanket I have spread out for her and my back was momentarily turned, she somehow got mobile. I turned around to find her completely off the blanket, licking one of my flip-flops. (UGH! You can follow any ...

http://the-life-of-liv.blogspot.com/2010/03/ppp-happens-ill-be-bustin-out-soon.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. PPP Happens and I'll Be Bustin' Out Soon. I heart everyone's comments. Thank you so much. If anyone has any more information on PPP leave a comment with the info. You are welcome to LFCA that. I just don't have all my wits about me to get to that point yet, so any shortcuts would be helpful. All I have is the diagnosis. I don't have anything else.

The Summer Thing | Ballastexistenz
https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2010/02/20/the-summer-thing
February 20, 2010. I want to start out by explaining what this is, and what this is not. Blog carnivals tend to bring in unfamiliar readers. People tend to misunderstand topics like this one. So here goes:. This is for the disability blog carnival. The theme is relationships. It might take awhile to explain how it fits into this theme, but I’ll get there in the end. I have always experienced the world in ways that mesh up with neither language nor most people around me. But even without neuroleptics, con...

An endless alleluia and a constant goodbye – A Design So Vast
http://www.adesignsovast.com/2010/06/its-hard-being-a-kid
A Design So Vast. An endless alleluia and a constant goodbye. I know I write all the time about the powerful and perilous ways that Grace reminds me of myself. About how she seems to have a core of sensitivity, emotion, insecurity, and sentimentality running through her that I intimately recognize. Similarly, I’ve written before of Whit’s predilection towards lightness. Never let it be said, however, that these children rest in their neat categories. Tonight, after reading several pages of.

December 4, 2009 in Uncategorized. I want to raise the bar again. When we were first coming out, we learned to lower our standards and take what we could get.
