Signs at the Shore
On December 31, 2018 by Michelle LoveEach morning when I came down to the shore this bird is standing here. Just this lone bird. I can’t help but think about how BJ would fish in the surf all day long and into the night. He was so happy when he was fishing. It didn’t really matter where, but he sure loved Read More
Anonymous Gift
On December 16, 2018 by Michelle LoveLost my breath and shed tears last night when I got yesterday’s mail. No return address, no mention of the sender’s name. Just a small wrapped box, with a label that said to Mom from BJ. Inside was a beautiful bracelet with a cardinal….”I’ll always be with you” I don’t know who sent it, but Read More
Charlie Brown improves
On December 1, 2018 by Michelle LoveCharlie Brown seems to be getting better every day. We’re still making him eat. He’s also on Prednisone and an appetite stimulant, the Yunnan (Chinese herbal medicine), and a liquid vitamin supplement.

On December 1, 2018 by Michelle Love1000 days. I never thought I’d survive this long without him here. It took such a physical toll on me, along with the emotional and spiritual devastation.

Pet Therapy
On November 23, 2018 by Michelle LoveWas just reminded of the time Charlie put his throat on mine and helped me stop coughing… I am so thankful that Charlie Brown is still hanging on.

Did this really happen?!
On November 17, 2018 by Michelle LoveI wrote this 3 years ago today. Seems so surreal. *******While not mentally alert, BJ realizes it, and it upsets him. He can take the physical pain, but when it extends to his mind, that just reaches too far. What breaks my heart is when he looks at me through tears and reaches out his Read More
Charlie the comforter
On November 16, 2018 by Michelle LoveCharlie Brown started getting some energy back last night. He ate some chicken with broth and a small jar of baby food too.
