This is really 40
No doubt, this is bound to be the toughest birthday yet. I’m turning 40, the age that everyone dreads. “Over the hill.” Closer to death. I feel that. In all of my bones. My daughter took her first steps on Friday! The boys and I were so excited, yelling and screaming, hoping to encourage her…

Father’s Day
I have mourned the loss of my older brother for over 20 years. He took himself away from us by suicide. I’ve mourned the loss of my mother. Cancer robbed us of her. And what I have come to realize is I have also been mourning the loss of a person just as much a…
