Last week was Tam’s mom’s birthday. She would have been 78 years old. It is the first birthday without her here to celebrate, so it was a very hard day. Tam woke up early, and we spent time talking, and Tam wrote the most beautiful poem. We all dressed nicely […]
Today we got to go to lunch with Brad’s brother! It was the first day that I wore earrings other than the studs I got when my ears were pierced last month. To celebrate, I wore a pair of lavender sapphire earrings and a matching sapphire necklace that used to […]
