September 24, 2005, I was sitting wide awake in the wee hours of the morning on the floor of my grandparents' home in West Monroe, Louisiana, watching the weather channel. I knew we were in trouble when one of the main forecasters for the Weather Channel appeared on my tv screen standing 1/2 a mile... Continue Reading →
Jesse wakes up alert in the middle of the night. Most of the time, I wake up with him, though he doesn't realize it. In the stillness of the night, he brushes a wisp of hair from my face, runs his fingers along my cheek, and whispers over me, "Mayim Chaim, Beloved. Mayim Chaim." It... Continue Reading →

It shows itself in brilliant strands of orange and red and pink and yellow. It illuminates the darkened sky, overwhelming the blackness... Continue Reading →
"I'm still here. I'm still here, Ash.", he whispered over me, broken and weeping wrapped up in his arms, overwhelmed at the thought of what's to come. Jesse and I have known each other since we were children. I moved to his hometown at 9 years old. We started dating in high school. We've been integrated... Continue Reading →
Like so many other aspects of life, we're finding this part to be as unpredictable as the rest. Surgery has been pushed back 10 days. 10 more days of waiting. September 25th. Blech. I want to throw up. This is hard, you guys. Because he's stable, but he's critical. He's free to wander around and live... Continue Reading →
We spent a few hours at the zoo yesterday, walking around in the sunshine, looking at animals, watching the kids run around all over the place. It was a beautiful day, but it was a hard one too.
