The InVitro Experience Part #2
To understand this article, read this article first. I ended with the line ” Retrieval Day…To be continued 21 January 2019.” I miscarried that night and was rushed to the ER where they confirmed I had miscarried. Needless to say, I was too disheartened at the time to write the article. Stage #3a – Retrieval […]

On Broken
I’m “cleaning up” my book pages and, in so doing, and posting my original pages to the blog. Maybe I’ll want to go back and change them later. For now…I want things clean and simple. Sometimes, I think, we try too hard. Próximamente… “Destrozada” disponible en español Coming Soon… “Broken” available in Spanish Read more […]
Lost and Found
Almost all hurt that can be cured by the written word. I wish I knew why. A week ago, I miscarried the twins I was carrying. For one blissful week, I had his babies in me. I love my husband. I mean, I LOVE…my husband. He is the air I breathe. My strength to stand. […]
