My beautiful girl

June 19, 2026June 19, 2026 | MichelleMarie

I just got back from Texas, and seeing my Alex. She’s recovering from her second surgery and we await her eye sight to be restored. Meanwhile, her right eye, she has been blind for 10 years, started to slowly regain vision. At first it was blurry like a baby seeing, and now she can read with it. What a miracle.

I decided to drive her down to Galveston so she can see the ocean. We walked to the jetty and then back, then we shopped at Murdocks, but honestly, I just wanted to take her to see the ocean.

I always said I wanted to take her to the ocean when she was little, and something in my heart said today is a perfect day for the beach. We stayed a couple hours, and it sure warmed my heart to see her smile, and for her to see the ocean with her own eyes.

My pray the vision is restored in her left eye, soon. It’s been a tough journey, so I haven’t shared much about it because it’s been a lot to hold. I’m thankful for God’s grace. 🙏🏼🤍🕊️

I love that it was overcast and not too hot. I thought it was interesting that there were no shells.

I think every parent takes videos of their kid in the ocean. We were just a little later in her life. 😂

She’s still the Queen of Hearts

When this all started, it was hard to imagine how strong you would become. Several surgeries later, still waiting for the outcome, you turned the corner today. My heart couldn’t be prouder. ~♥️~You’re still the Queen of Hearts, even if your crown is a little dented. I watched you adjust it and smile. ♥️

Good morning from my back porch

It’s a little chilly this morning but Penelope doesn’t care. 😁

Perfect sunrise

Good morning from my back porch. I love how quickly the sunrise shifts position on the horizon. Fall is my favorite view. 🧡

One more show before we go

My roses bloomed one more time. I had a feeling they would. This is Miracle, she’s a hearty bush.

These are from the same bush. I’m always amazed how different roses can come from one plant.

Bonus sunflower, from below my bird feeders. They just pop out to say Hi.

Victorian lily, she bloomed twice this year. It was such a nice surprise. Have a beautiful day everyone. 🧡

a DIFFERENT KIND OF LETTING GO

October 21, 2024 | MichelleMarie

A different kind of letting go
I knew this day was coming
I planned for it and
even longed for it
But I find in the silence of
this stage of letting go
A different kind of sadness
A deeper kind of sadness
Knowing I will see you again
Yet, not knowing when
My heart let go a little bit now…

But not without feeling sorrow…M

As their heartbeats joined in Unison

As their heartbeats joined in unison…it was hard to tell where she began and ended…and it really didn’t matter. I attended a stomp dance not too long ago and was inspired by how I faded into the drum beat. It felt like this. Art by Micki Michelle Marie
