About me

Originally from Los Angeles, I've been living in Salisbury, MD since August 2002.  I moved here to attend Salisbury University for my M.S. degree.  I met my husband on Match.com in June 2003 and married September 2004. Jimmy and I have been through hell and back, including a horrible hit and run that ended his career as a police officer. I have struggled off and on with depression since 1999. Like most couples we have had our bouts with financial difficulties. Our first daughter, Stella, was born and spoiled us by being such an easy going baby. Our second daughter, Georgia, was diagnosed with severe reflux the day after she was born. For 3 years she didn't sleep through the night because of pain and because of that she has had behavioral problems. Becoming pregnant with the twins while G was going though her issues created a depression within me I can't really explain. After not wanting to be pregnant, having a VERY difficult and painful pregnancy, having the birth day of my boys destroyed by pain and sorrow...I think KNOW that Cullen has given me a gift.  I should say, there are times that I am able to look at life through this golden light...This light that makes everything look like a perfect picture.  I fight daily to keep seeing this LIGHT....This light is what I am able to see the world (ok, Salisbury) through. Depression can darken the light. But I have hope, hope within myself along with the drive to keep going each day for Cullen, for all my children.  I've been able, because of Cullen, to be there for other parents of angel babies.  Please follow me in my journey of self discovery...
