Carving. And Stories.

by Molly Huggins | Jan 8, 2014 | Aha Moments, Army Life, Blogging, Faith, Grief, Jamester, Original J, Our Story, Photos

Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of one of my best friends. Eight years. If you are a regular reader, or a Facebook friend, you already know that. If you’d like to read more about her, feel free to click here. You know what surprised me about yesterday? I’m...

Last … {Five Minute Friday}

by Molly Huggins | Aug 22, 2013 | Army Life, Husband, L.O.V.E., Original J, Our Story

I don’t want to think about the “last time” for anything. But I have to – it’s a requirement for this life we live. The closer good-bye comes, the larger “last” looms. It’s why I always save the last {latest} voicemail from the Husband. It’s why I always say I...

by Molly Huggins | May 28, 2013 | Army Life, Dreams, Grief, Original J, Our Story

It’s the day after Memorial Day. {I am a wee bit late … it’s been tough going on the pregnant front these days.} But I do have something to say … It’s profoundly personal for me. I have written about Jaime here, here, and here. Please, I would love for you...

by Molly Huggins | Aug 28, 2012 | Army Life, Grief, Original J, Our Story

. . . I tried to email Husband, willed him to call so I could be the one to break the news. Since telepathy is not my strong suit, he did not receive the message, and read about her death on the front page of the Army Times that someone else was reading in the chow...

01. WELCOME

… A slash can show a line break in a poem, a song or a play. This blog? This is my song, my story. And grace shot through the broken lines of it at every turn. At the heart of it, I am a story-teller. And in the telling of my story, perhaps you’ll find healing for yours.
