I was the primary caregiver of my 92 year old grandmother, Mommy. In November, 2010 I noticed that she had an unusual growth on her genitalia. I called her Primary care physician and was informed that he didn’t practice that kind of medicine so he wouldn’t be able to help . She needed the specialized help of a gynegologist. Overwhelmingly, I am faced with the inauspicious task of getting the woman who had raised me, my Mommy, seen by the best and brightest doctors in this field. I

A puppy. A dog. A protector. A young child’s best friend. Barks to the sound of birds chirping through the wind. Unfortunately, it takes losing a first playmate to realize what life will cultivate in the long run. I know from personal experience that losing a best friend transplants many lessons that can be used later in life. I reminisce about all the times Booster and I enjoyed, from playing fetch or him meeting me when I arrived home from school. Maybe even the times that I would get so mad

In my head, I silently freak out. “What do I do, what do I do?” My silent panic attack lasts the whole flight to Denver. We touch down on the runway, and I don’t feel a thing. I am still, very still. Motionless. Driving to the hotel; the same feeling. Numbing mind, erased thought. The whole night, dreamless, mindless sleep. Ready to conquer the beast on the mountain, and In my own head. Deep sleep, dark sleep; peering into nothingness. “The competition is tomorrow,” I mention to myself

My greatest ( not so little ) Florida Keys Discovery A couple years back ago we were driving down to Key West with my grandma, aunt, and cousins for a late birthday celebration for my grandma. This was not my first time to the Florida Keys but it was the first time I could remember anything ( the first time I was just a baby ). It was a long drive from Ft.Myers to Key West and it was somewhat boring as well. It wasn’t until we were about half an hour from Key West when we started driving upon what

small smile spread across my face. Everyone was so happy and peaceful. Except for me. I had been here for almost 1 hour waiting for my best friend, Chloe to show up. We were supposed to go shopping. It was taking her forever. I was now starting to have doubts that she was even coming. Well, it was kind of getting obvious. She wasn't even picking her phone up. I wonder where she is?

this man’s weapon and my best friend. I am not afraid. Of course, being bulletproof might have something to do with my newfound bravery. The man is still raving, but his words are only noise to me. I don’t think he really wants to shoot the gun, either, or he would have done it by now instead of talking about it so much. Maybe this man isn’t a killer. Maybe he’s not ready for the consequences becoming a murderer would have him face. To make his decision easier, I grab

This car purchasing experience was the best I have ever had. The staff was knowledgeable, and worked diligently to get me the car that I wanted, in a way that I could manage, with the best interest rate possible.

We were given information for contacting the dealership in case of questions or problems, as well as had our first maintenance appointment scheduled

Have you ever had a dream of going to the biggest state in America? I know I did and I was like 11. Texas is an amazing place to go to and I am going to tell about when my family and I went to Texas for a vacation.
