I woke up this morning to the rustling of the sheets. It was still dark out; there was no hint of light in the sky. I felt a movement in the room, and as I tried to focus my eyes, I saw Alphonse, sitting in the darkness, making happy, little noises. He didn’t even notice me [...]

I’d like to share this wonderful message sent via email by my friend Melyn. I think it’s [...]

Happy 15th Birthday, Alphonse, child of our hearts.
You weren’t like other children
and God was well aware
You’d need a caring family

And so He sent you to us
and much to our surprise
you haven’t been a challenge
but a blessing in disguise.
Your winning smiles and laughter
the pleasures you impart
far outweigh your special needs
and melt the [...]

I had been so busy these last few days that I didn’t even notice that I had already surpassed my 200th post. (Technically, this is post # 203.) I passed the “100 posts” mark without fanfare months ago, not quite yet believing that I could actually sustain this blog. For a while back there, my posts came [...]

It’s early Friday morning, and already, I feel tired. The long days have taken their toll on me; I can’t wait for the weekend to come. But wait! I just remembered, this weekend, I still have things to do- errands to run and a million other chores to finish. Just thinking about them makes me feel down.
But this [...]

“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.” – Buddha
