Over this past year, I have had a few people suggest that I write a book. That seemed like an overwhelming project to me and I couldn't even grasp it. But then, a few weeks back, I printed out my blog for a friend and I realized that I kinda already have. I have written 120 posts and most of them are pretty lengthy! Not that this blog qualifies as a book but I have written the same amount that I would need to for a book. That is such a crazy thought for me, I have written a book (well, kinda...you know what I mean)!
To celebrate this anniversary I am hosting a giveaway.
I am going to be giving away a personalized set of 20 note cards (your name doesn't have to be Michelle to enter). I hope that you all like them. I chose this design because it feels like Summer...and by now you all know how much I LOVE SUMMER!!!
All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment. You can tell me what about your favorite Summertime activity, a favorite memory or you can write whatever is on your heart. And, if you are a "follower" please leave me a 2nd comment so that you can be entered twice! This giveaway will be open through Monday, June 21st. I will announce the winner on Tuesday and you will have your note cards by the end of the month!!!
Thank you to all of you for your kindness and support!!! I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for all of you.

Happy blogiversary! I love reading your posts. Like many other blogs, it makes me feel a little less lonely and it's reassuring to know so many feelings are "normal" to have.

I am really thankful for your blog. I haven't lost a child, but I could relate to a lot of your feelings because I lost my Mom unexpectedly and have had a hard time with that and the fact that no one was really there for me and it seemed that my life was the only one that was affected by that loss. Happy blogiversary!!! Thank you for sharing your story with us and Nate's story.
I follow your blog :)
Hi Trisha. My name is Michelle. I hope that gives me an extra chance of winning :) I live in Australia so it is mid-winter here but as we live in the sub-tropics, it isn't too cold. Smile again :)
I found your blog via The Macs. I have followed many neuroblastoma blogs over the years (you would remember neuroblastoma claimed Cora?). Your post drowning post hit home to me as I'm the Mum to a child with very special needs and as her peers tick of milestones, she doesn't. And I grieve. Having said that, I'm grateful for all she can do! Keep up the amazing writing. You say so much that so many of us feel but don't know how to put into words.
I'm also a follower of your blog.

Happy Blogiversary, Trisha! You are such a blessing, and you share your heart beautifully. I love summer...and my favorite thing to do is enjoy my family...whether on the golf course, swimming, on a bike ride, or watching my boys play a ball game.
Love to you!
Happy Blogiversary Trisha. I know how much blogging and this community has helped you heal and am glad you have been able to do this. Reading others' posts have often made me feel not so alone on such a lonely journey. You are a terrific writer. I hope you continue to share your thoughts and feelings as they comfort many more than you will ever know. Have a great summer and stay in touch. An email from you always brightens my day.
Hugs,
