Family. Hope. Prayer. Character. Integrity. Rising above the expectations. Falling only to discover, realize, and start again. Words. Not having to speak. Sacrifice. Music. Tattoos. Silver. Lip Gloss. Mani's and Pedi's. Classic Cars. Laughing. Crying. Laughing more. Memories of childhood. The Davis Hill. Porchin'. The things children say and do that are completely creative and individual. The way Brent loves to be redneck and white trash all at the same time. Clean sheets. Late nights with Brent. Finding reward in the usual. Finding comfort and solace. My planner. Photos that stir emotions. Reminiscent scents. Love letters. Feeling safe. Bubble baths surrounded by candlelight and holding a glass of Italian Merlot, that has all been prepared by my husband, while I was driving home. He's amazing. Holding Liam while he sleeps. Listening to his giggles from anywhere in the house. Tickling him til we both can't take it anymore. Knowing that the smile he gives to me, no one else gets.
George W, Val Kilmer, Maya Angelou, The Girls Next Door, and friends with good hearts and capable minds.

I am a reader of Maya Angelou, Ernest Hemingway, Nicholas Sparks, Kennedy biograghies, John Berendt, John Irving, war history, and quotations to live by and for.
My parents. Single moms and dads. shift workers. Under dogs. Preachers. Teachers. Uniformed protectors and providers. Those who overcome and are under paid, under privileged, discounted, and unnoticed. People who still live in the good ole days in the South because they did not conform or bend and never will break. My heroes are also those who did not die in vain for the sake of others, but for both loved ones and those who oppose their cause.
