January, 21, 1992- Cody was 5 months old and sever January, 21, 1992- Cody was 5 months old and severely ill. Another mother saw through her grief and donated her son's liver and saved Cody's life. I was only supposed to have 5 months with him but I'm forever grateful for my 23 years.

Might not look too different but everything is org Might not look too different but everything is organized, inventoried and off the floor. Apparently,  this family is afraid to run out of ketchup and mustard. 😉 I have been stocking up on baking essentials, spices and condiments. No matter what happens with the food supply chain, I'm prepared to make whatever we need. Feels good to have this checked off my list. #mythriftyhouse #mythriftyranch #pantryorganization #gettingshitdone2023 #prepared
Best thing that happened to me in 2022. Grammy lov Best thing that happened to me in 2022. Grammy loves this boy more than ever. ❤️
Grief is a wave that eternally ebbs and flows. No Grief is a wave that eternally ebbs and flows. No matter the amount of time between now and when Cody passed away, there is an unspoken feeling inside me that can't be described.

Most assume it is associated with the grief cycle. Shock. Denial. Anger. Depression. Acceptance.

It's the feeling of FOREVER. Forever thinking, wondering, dreaming, yearning, wishing, praying, hoping, loving, crying, caring, remembering and grieving. The weight of carrying so many forevers is painfully crushing on the mind, body and spirit. 

On days like today, I realize FOREVER is a really long time to carry something so incredibly heavy and painful.

I have to remind myself to be grateful for all the thinking, wondering, dreaming, yearning, wishing, praying, hoping, loving, crying, caring, remembering and grieving because he is a happy memory that I will FOREVER cherish. 

I'm thankful for the 23 years I was given with him but I will FOREVER wish I had more during this lifetime. 

Cody, I love you and miss you with all the pieces of my broken heart. 💔

My husband is a retired Navy veteran with 23 years of service. He has always wanted a flagpole at our home and now is the perfect time to add a beautiful flag to fly over the ranch.

Our anniversary is on Veterans Day (11/11) and we celebrated 32 years together. I gifted my husband with a 25' flagpole from Service First, a veteran owned company . We love it. ❤
