…here’s to a beautiful life spent bringing joy and laughter to others…
Has anyone taken a selfie with this? It's one of the most "instagramable" locations in Tulum. All through Martin’s journey, I knew one thing. When he was healed and the mesothelioma was under control we would go here. Take Martin’s photo in front of this. Why? To me, it looks like someone with a healthy... Continue Reading →
It seems like I have had such negative posts and that is truly not the person I am. I want to focus on those that have brought kindness and happiness into our lives. THERE ARE SO MANY so it is going to take a while. But this is a start. Today after checking the mail,... Continue Reading →
Doctors don't always do their job. When they don't the person who pays is you! In this case, it was my sweet Martin. He deserved better than this.

MRI was stable but an EEG test results show that his brain waves were changing. Now he is sleeping a lot and barely eating. When... Continue Reading →
I had spent two days writing some things down to say about Martin during his service. Just a few thoughts so the people who had not spent much time with Martin had an idea of who he was beside the Mesothelioma patient that he would be remembered for.

Today was the first time I had been back to worship with our church family in Crosby. It was great to be back. With Martin sick, we mainly watched church service online. Very rarely, I could leave and attend church with the White's Park congregation. It was a quick drive east on i-10. I love... Continue Reading →
