Before Lizzie and Dray showed up at my door, I realized that I had found all that I was going to find about my condition online. The rest of the links seemed to mostly be clickbait and BS. If I was going to find any more info…I’d have to go to the library. The only…
I end the party with a big smile on my face. There is nothing like being around the family to make me feel complete. As I start grabbing dirty dishes, I say goodbye to everyone I pass as they walk out the door. Brianna: Thanks for inviting me to Dub’s party. Kai: You’re very welcome….
Now that I knew that going to work would be impossible in the daylight hours, I had no choice but to quit. I was in the middle of trying to find a night shift job, preferably one where I’d work alone when there was a knock at my door. I walked slowly towards my front…
It’s Dub’s birthday. So Me-Me wakes up early to dress him and Mason while ma prepares cakes and pies for Dub’s birthday party. Meanwhile, I complete a few tasks on the farm, then join ma in the kitchen for breakfast. Kai: I can’t believe Dub is already about to be school-age. Prosperity: The time goes…

I’m in the middle of trying to complete another endurance challenge when the buzzing from the broken windmills behind me distracts me and practically makes…
Amid all the chaos of welcoming little Mase while trying to reassure Dub that everything is okay, ma gets up and decides to remove Dub from the situation altogether. Prosperity: Come with Granny, Wade. Let’s get you something to eat. I appreciate ma for being the only one thinking clearly enough to recognize that Dub…
I wake up confused and dazed when I hear Me-Me groaning early in the morning. It takes me a minute to realize what’s happening. The baby is coming! I hurry over and pull her into my arms. Kai: Are you okay? Is it time to push? Melisa: Not yet. My contractions are still too far…
