Pumpkins, Costumes and Chronic Illness
I’m learning to continue doing what I can, where I am, with what I have. Most importantly to keep moving no matter how many times I feel I’m knocked down. Fall is one of my most favorite times of year (second only to Christmas which is my LOVE LOVE lol). Last year for Halloween, I was sick. I did not get to carve pumpkins, go to the pumpkin patch or really see anyone. I did not get to wear my costume and I was rather sad. So this year I decided that no matter what I was deali

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." – Anne Shirley (From the 1908 book: Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Summer hasn’t been my favorite season since I was ten. But this summer has been especially hard and last summer was also hard. I wanted to share some of what I’ve been through the last two summers because I know I’m not alone in my difficult journey. Life has been a lot for everyone.

Saying goodbye to Blazer Dog....
We are preparing to say goodbye… Our PayPal is: https://paypal.me/ramonandbobbie I hate asking for help, and 99% of the time I just don’t, and try my best to figure it out. But this is my sweet boy, so I’m asking. We have tapped out between my auto-immune stuff and trying everything to save Blazer and Lainey, who both got sick in the last three weeks. Lainey has recovered and is doing better. Blazer has not been responding to treatments or much of anything else. We’ve continu
