“Ginger’s decline was quick but painful. I had to go away the weekend before he died, and I didn’t feel right about it. I convinced myself it was okay to go. He would bounce back like he always did.

“I encouraged her to take a home pregnancy test. She did, and texted me later that it was negative. Imagine her surprise a couple of weeks later when she was seven weeks pregnant! Then the bleeding started, and never really stopped. There was no headstone, no cards, no calls, no casseroles.”
“What if the beautiful woman we call Mom is secretly our greatest enemy? It taught me a valuable lesson, which I wish I learned way sooner. Yes, the situation was rough.”
“With a guest list of only 75 people, little did I know that this picture would be one of the only pictures where I would look like the bride I dreamed to be.”
