Changing Direction

It's our 21st Wedding Anniversary today and since we couldn't possibly top last year's celebratory Hawaii cruise this year, I went on a search to find something unique and sentimental that I could give and I found Mosaic .  Mosaic lets you upload 20 photos and arrange them into a high quality, hardcover bound book.  I gathered up some 2014 selfies of his favorite gal ;) and made this into a gift.                                         The Mosaic app is free for Android or iPhone (cost of the book is $25) so just visit http://heymosaic.com if you're interested in making your very own.

I come from a line of mostly long-livers on both sides of the family so in our eyes she died young.  I have been on quite the emotional roller coaster, my own and other family members' which has proven quite stressful. Oh yeah, on top of it I have a marriage, home, and job to maintain which makes it even more challenging. This is new territory for me because although I have experienced the loss of close family members, it's my first time losing a parent...my mother...the woman who brought me life.  I also haven't really had a direct role in some of the responsibilities dealing with after-life business to tie up until now. When you're in that role, it's a constant battle of keeping up with what needs to be done while managing all the emotions and dealing with the emotions of other family members.  Plus, I don't always know what to do so I'...
