I started a journal the week Lisa was diagnosed. It will be a significant part of the book I’m slowly trying to piece together. I was reading through some of my entries recently and ran across this short paragraph dated 9/21/10: It’s 11:36 pm – I was headed to the shower. Got a glance of [...]

Sunday Post 27: The Full Moon
I’m not sure why, but I was recently thinking about the people who helped shape my life. Two years ago I started working with the kids at church on Sunday night. I went into it with some hesitation. Frankly, I thought it was going to be inconvenient. But Lisa had worked with the kids at church [...]

Sunday Post 23: The Best Summer of Our Lives
I used to struggle to use all of my vacation days. I guess you could say I was addicted to work. It wasn’t that my employer didn’t encourage me to take my time - they were very supportive of me using my vacation days to recharge. It was that I enjoyed what I did and was driven [...]

Sunday Post 20: Would you do it again?
Tonight as I was putting Stephanie to bed, and with tears in her eyes, she asked me, “Dad, if you had known that mom would get cancer and die, would you have still married her?” It’s interesting what the kids think about – especially at bedtime. I wonder if she’s pondered that question before or if it just [...]

Sunday Post 20: An Acre of Bed
Posted by Danny I miss her the most at night. I think that’s why I stay up so late. I just can’t bring myself to go into that room and face the night alone. When we added on to the house about five years ago, we were excited to build a new master bedroom. It’s [...]

Sunday Post 19: What do you say?
I have often had people ask me what words were most helpful to me as I was going through the most intense times in my grief. I hear that each person grieves differently, so what might be comforting for me, may not be for others. I’d also like to stress that no matter what was [...]

Sunday Post 18: No Ketchup?
On our cruise two weeks ago our ship stopped in Haiti. It wasn’t the Haiti I pictured in my mind. The vessel pulled up to a brand new doc on an private beach on the Nortern Side of the Island. As we meandered down the pier I fully expected Mr. Roarke and Tattoo to greet us with a [...]

Sunday Post 17: Our Mothers
When you have a significant loss, it takes a village to fill the gaps. Happy Mother’s Day to all of our “moms”! To Doctor Walker who gives dad guidance on our physical ailments without a Blue Cross Blue Shield copay. To Darcy who served as DJ’s Elder Sponsor at church this year. To Aunt Susan [...]

Sunday Post 16: My Grandad, Spurgeon
DJ had to present her faith statement to the Session at church tonight. I’m an Elder at First Pres. and had the priviledge of hearing kids share what they believe in years past. It’s pretty powerful. Last week, DJ and I spent some time discussing what she believes so that she’d be prepared for this important event. [...]

Sunday Post 15: The Hawaii Theory
In January 2010, a month or so before Lisa died, I was trying to figure out how God would allow this to happen. I firmly believed that He had the power to step in and save her. As I tried hard to wrap some logic around the fact that my wife would likely die prematurely from [...]
