I'm a bereaved mom. That's a weird thing to say. Prior to July 22, 2019, I was simply "mom". I am Alex's mom.
My son, Alex, started wearing funny t-shirts sometime around the 3rd grade. I don’t mean that sometimes he wore funny t-shirts. No, that wasn’t Alex. I mean he wore them... Every. Single. Day. One of his shirts said “Blink if you think I’m awesome” Of course, everyone blinks, so it was a real conversation starter! And that’s where the name of this blog was found.
One of the first things I learned when I became a bereaved mom was that there are a lot of us. I'm not the only one who lost someone awesome. My hope is to share in this journey with you in an encouraging way.
Full transparency: I am a Christian. I am not perfect, but I am forgiven. Our faith is the foundation of our home. I hope my stories will point you to Jesus.
