My college roommate died last week. She left behind a thriving marriage and two children still living at home.

My children sent me flowers this week, it was a belated birthday present. I’m not certain why the timing was off, but have you ever known a Mom to question a gift from her kids?

We live far away from our biological families, and have for our entire marriage. At first we felt it was our obligation to 'go home' for the holidays, but the problem was that our families live about a thousand miles away from each other, and we were roughly the same distance from each. So we... Continue Reading →
