Letters to Taylor: On Growth My sweetest Taylor, This morning as I was folding laundry, I found one of your socks in the corner of a fitted bedsheet. Something that might have previously slightly annoyed me was a beautiful gift instead. It’s amazing how my perspective has been turned upside…
Parenting is 24/7 365 days a year. Day and night, weekday and weekend. Meals and laundry. Schedules and appointments. Routines and exceptions. School and church. You get it. I get it. We all get it. The Mom life can be exhausting! Right? As mom to the Wojo tribe, I’ve walked…

Letters to Taylor: On Emptiness Sweet T, I had a hard time sleeping last night. I don’t know if it’s because I’m thinking too much or if it’s because God is having me pray for others. Either way, I’m using the wake time to pray. In the wee hours this…
Letters to Taylor: On Expressions of Sympathy and Love My sweet girl, Four weeks ago today, our family followed the hurse holding your body as we made our way to the cemetery. In some ways, it seems like yesterday and in others, it would appear to have been years ago….
