In his shoes

March 3, 2013January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 26 Comments

If I could walk in your shoes for a day, what would the voices say to me, what would the faces look like? Could I survive your reality or would I go mad? *Since his pre-teens, my son has struggled with a myriad of mental health issues.

March 1, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

After a two-week wait, we hoped that she healed to the point where the pin in her hip could be removed. The bad news is her vet wasn't satisfied with the progress of … Continue reading The good, the bad and the meh: the continuing Asta saga
