I walked through my house the other night. My eyes taking it all in. No one would know that a man does not live here. That startled me. I know a man doesn’t live here. Each night when I go to bed, I remember that. There is no snoring body for me to crawl over. [...]

Lee sent me a card a long time ago that is very sweet. I meant to blog about it but never did. I was cleaning out a file the other day and found it. I don’t toot my own horn, but if my husband does it’s ok right? Ruth: The Proverbs 31 Woman 1. Devoted [...]

Lee’s parole officer told me she’s proud of me. “Well, if I get to be proud of you.” She’s glad I’m going to the classes she sent me to and that I’m following through and trying to work on things. I told her that of course I’m willing to do what it takes to have [...]
