Hello everybody,

I haven’t shared my writing for a long time. Over a year now.
I’ve changed the name of my blog from “Mighty Wonders” to “Walking”.
I chose “Walking” because that word is descriptive of how I live and feel everyday. I have been blessed to witness and be apart of many miracles and Mighty Wonders, and will continue to be, I am sure. But since my son died, I experience life differently. I am different.

Writing has become a very good friend to me. I am able to connect to myself through writing, and it helps me to release feelings that get stuck and buried inside me.
I decided that I wanted to share my writing again, for a couple reasons. One being that, when I read other’s blogs or books about loss and grief, it comforts me. I don’t feel alone or crazy when I hear other people being honest and real, about their pain and struggle with the death of their child, or loved one, or other hardships one faces here on Earth. I hope my writing will bring comfort, as I have been comforted. Sharing my writing will hopefully bring connection with others as well. Loosing a child is a very lonely walk.
I have filled four journals and a few notebooks, since Nate’s passing.  I will be sharing what I have written over the last year and a half, in no particular order.
A book that was given to me after my son died, and one I continue to pick up from time to time is called “A Lament for a Son” It’s a small book of journal entries that a father wrote after loosing his son in a climbing accident. His son died the same age as Nate, 26. Way too young. The way he writes, has inspired me- the way he conveys his love for his son, his wrestling with God, his transparency, and heartache, has helped me. I hope to do the same for someone else.
