Laugh When You Can

  Even if it seems inappropriate. Some days I focus on the humor. Nothing super upsetting really happened today, I laughed a little. Last night, was it “fall back” night? Yes. Ugh. I slept at the end of Ashton’s bed. My neck. To quote the late Nora Ephron, “I’m Worried About My Neck”. I’m also worried … [Read more…]

None. Now I will post something I read which resounded with me so CLEARLY, I needed to share … [Read more…]

The Secrets That You Keep

I have wondered many times over at Ashton’s strength. When he talks in his sleep, I wanna pull a Juliet Capulet. ( Get it?) He is not dead. When he hurts, I wish I were. He bitches aplenty while awake, make no mistake. <I almost just busted in to a MicOne-look-I’m a White-Rapper routine. *I … [Read more…]

LAST FALL

It’s easily been a week since I have written.  don’t really know what to say anymore.
