This one is tough. My heart is broken. I am thankful for ALS bringing my Fruges into our life, but I'll be damned if I feel anything short of outrage that it took Tom from us, specifically away from Nancy, Emily, Aimee, and Grayson. Especially Grayson. From day 1 of his diagnosis, everything Tom faced … Continue reading 9.13.19 Sunny Loves Tom

8.13.19 Hey God, It’s Me Sunny
I love "Ah-ha" moments. Times when the divine intervention of a higher power is so obviously present and in control that it's absurd to believe in anything less. Times that take your breath away and stay with you days after the incident. Moments when, if you were a cartoon, your jaw would hit the floor … Continue reading 8.13.19 Hey God, It’s Me Sunny
8.12.19 Clinic Adventures
To know me is to love me and accept that I'm late, always. It's nothing personal and not intentional, but it happens more times than not. Knowing this first hand, Jaci and Ashley showed up in time to finish the laborious dressing process and braid my hair. 7:30 is my default leaving time for clinic, … Continue reading 8.12.19 Clinic Adventures

7.24.19 Independence
One major struggle with my ALS symptoms is my loss of independence. For the most part my home is set up so that I can get up, down and around by myself. I'm surrounded by amazing, supportive friends and family that step in and help no matter what chaos I drop into their lives. I … Continue reading 7.24.19 Independence

"There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying yes to our entire imperfect and messy life.” – Tara Brach I added to my tattoo collection in early May and man have I gotten amazing feedback from everyone but Lancer. Yes, it's a real tattoo. No, it's not a sticker. Yes, it's permanent. No, it's … Continue reading 7.23.19 Fall Risk
