My family at Pismo Beach Californiastsnding together, smiling in front of the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop on a beautiful day. Back row: Dominic, David, Ben. Front Row: Kyra, Marcos, me, and Ben’s girlfriend, Linda.

Today is my birthday. I’ve always looked forward March 10th. I think that means I am loved and so very lucky.
Grief is my forever companion but so is gratitude. #griefandgratitude

Grief & gratitude aren't opposites. They're yin & yang. Loss makes us grateful for what once was. Gratitude grows richer from knowing how fragile everything is.
I believe there's real peace in holding both at once.
What about you?

Becoming a parent is a profound gain—and a quiet loss. You’re allowed to love your new role while grieving your old freedoms and routines.

Both truths can exist at once.

Living in the paradox ”I am deeply, fiercely, desperately grateful to still be here… but gratitude does not cancel out grief.”

I can hold grief and gratitude at the same time.

This is how healing happens—slow, layered, real.

A warmly lit vintage photo of a woman holding a baby in a kitchen. The woman has long dark hair and glasses, and wears a red and black checkered shirt. She lovingly holds the baby, who looks off to the side in a striped outfit. Behind them are yellow-curtained windows, and a counter lined with bottles of Coca-Cola priced at 49 cents. The scene feels intimate and nostalgic, evoking family warmth and a moment frozen in time.

Some photos hold entire universes
This one is mine

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms — present, gone, and remembered in every heartbeat

And to mine: thank you for everything. I carry you with me, always
